    Did you know? The whale shark is considered the largest fish in the world. The Georgia Aquarium is the only aquarium outside of Asia to exhibit whale sharks. Read more

    Always fun. Don't miss the upstairs you can peek into the top of the tanks.

    Make sure to get your separate ticket to the dolphin show as early as possible from Guest Information. They were gone 1.5 hours before the show we tried to see.

    Take you're time. It may be crowded in some areas but don't worry the dolphin shows will thin the crowds.

    The dolphin show was challenging for our 1.5 year old - loud, flashing lights, and too long. So sit somewhere with easy access to exits. At least you can sit awhile and no extra charge!

    Wonderful Place. $70/person/day or $300/family/year of three. Great for the family, Dinner, Movies, Excitement, petting tanks. Worth the money. Definately.

    Their system was down and not sending out the email confirmation with the barcode. Instead of making 30 paying customers wait, a lady came and out and took care of us. Nice job Georgia Aquarium 🐠🐳🐋

    It is beautiful but everything from the initial cost to get in to the prices in the gift shop are so high that the average family would not be able to afford it.

    The whale sharks are worth the price of admission. Make sure and catch a feeding show.

    Sea Otter cashier chick at the cafe (1:44pm today) was a total bitch to everyone. Time for a new "career" perhaps? Pizza is crap. The Aquarium is very nice though!

    The deep monsters exhibit is one of a kind. BTS tour is worth the money and time!

    It was a pretty good time. I would recommend it. Not too expensive, either. Except the food, I would suggest bringing your own!

    Just about to check out the Georgia Aquarium and those who know me know I'm not cheap but $35 per person $70 for two adults to see fish? Really ??

    Use the flashlight app on your phone to entertain the penguins. Turn on the light and put it against the glass when they are swimming. They will follow it as you move.

    Don't bother coming in the summer or on weekends... way crowded & shows might be booked solid. **Get advance tickets to avoid 30-45 min additional wait.**

    People, put down your cameras, iPhones, and iPads and just observe. Your incessant picture taking and selfies are annoying.

    Hard to tell. It was so crowded you couldn’t see anything. Dangerously crowded in my opinion. We bolted after half an hour to walk in the park outside and get some fresh air.

    Go to the World of Coke 1st, then your coke ticket gets you $2 off admission plus free ticket to Dolphin Tales show at the aquarium!!!

    Cool place, but tarnished by poor floorplans and ZERO concept of effective crowd control. An exhibit exits right into the hallway for the ONLY bathrooms in the main space!

    The best place to view the Whale Shark feedings is from the middle of the tunnel...you'll see them being fed directly above your head

    Buy your tickets ahead of time. If you've got the time, buy the Pemberton Place Pass so you can see both World of Coke & Aquarium - and bypass the long lines! Otters are my fave!

    Show up 1 hour before close. You'll get the pro-rated entrance fee ($13 for us), lines are non-existent and you'll have plenty of time to see everything.
