The best place to sit is in the ocean room. the best people watching involved sitting on the ledge and people just slowly slide by you on the moving walkway!

My kids absolutely LOVE this aquarium. But I think I have more fun than they do lol... not to mention I see a celebrity there everytime I visit. Don't forget to see the 3D show!

The whale sharks stole my heart. Price is worth the ocean voyager area alone! Had a great time!

Did you know that the operational systems in the Georgia Aquarium include enough pipe to more than encircle Atlanta on the I-285 loop. That's 61 miles! We love this aquarium - it's a must see!

The dolphin show was really exciting for a 3 year old... and I enjoyed it as well. It's just a beautiful place to explore.

Within Pemberton Park is the biggest aquarium and the largest individual tank in the world. Watch the sharks swim above your head in the 6.3 million gallon saltwater tank in the Ocean Voyager Exhibit.
Joseph TerranellaJanuary 4, 2019
Get there when they open, the lines get ridiculous by noon. Dolphin show is great, you really get soaked in the first few rows.
AlySeptember 24, 2013
Make sure to visit the Ocean Voyager exhibit last. The rest of the aquarium is incredible but this particular exhibit will take your breath away!!! <3
Alexandra WahlbergApril 1, 2013
The Ocean Voyager exhibit is by far the coolest part of the aquarium, but it gets packed. Skip to the end of the exhibit where there is a large viewing window and a lot less of a crowd
Rachel OwensJuly 29, 2013
Get a combo ticket to the zoo & aquarium. Buy the ticket online through the aquarium's website and reserve your entrance time and time for the Dolphin Tales show.
Jordan ClarkJune 19, 2017
Buy tickets online before you go and skip the lines. Dolphin and Sea Lion Shows alone are worth the price of admission!
MikeFebruary 16, 2015
This place gets packed on the weekends. Plan to pay just under $40 to get in - personally, I think it's a bit too much. This is a one-time experience.

Sign up in advance to scuba dive in the big tank with whale sharks, manta rays and more. Meanwhile, your friends and family get a personal aquarium guide and a peak behind the scenes. Read more

If you are 21+, head to the Sip and Sea event for a much smaller crowd and better views of all the exhibits (esp the whale sharks and beluga!)
Julie RodriguezDecember 2, 2012
You will have the Time of Your Life.. It wasn't packed and the shows start eveyy 30 min. or hour.. You will have time to do everything..Then head over to the World Of Coca-Cola..Friendly Staff!!..
GloDecember 27, 2014
Definitely buy and print your tickets online beforehand, especially for busy days! You'll be able to pretty much walk straight in.

Head to the world’s largest aquarium this summer. Situated in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the Georgia Aquarium offers a dolphin show, petting underwater life and more.
Alex GrismerOctober 9, 2015
Ocean Voyager was definitely the coolest. A long tunnel through a giant tank, leading to a huge viewing window!

Love to see the animals and mammals. Have a big variety of species to look at.
Taste TesterMarch 31, 2018
Enjoyed the whale sharks, bélouga whale, and dolphins 🐬 Nice weekend trip if you live 3-4 hours away.
Susan ZochMay 1, 2017
They have a bunch of great exhibits and shows. A very impressive ocean exhibit with multiple Whale Sharks.
HollyMay 27, 2013
The dolphin show was a little cheesy. But the penguin crawl through is amazing! Don't forget to pet the sharks and other animals in front of the Georgia Explorer.
The Ritz-CarltonNovember 10, 2016
Enjoy an afternoon at the aquarium. Don’t leave without a photo in front of the whale sharks in the floor to ceiling saltwater habit.
kutley knightJanuary 1, 2013
Look out for ppl in the park outside of the aquarium. My wife and I saved $25 from gentleman who let us use his gift pass. Awesome!
MimilainnaAugust 12, 2014
The whale shark tank is by far the best! Huge manta rays! Don't forget to see the otters though!
Amy ChinJanuary 27, 2012
Loves the whale sharks, fun to imagine what else is out there. Loved the museum on the whole! Check out Bus53.com and see what other museums we loved!

This aquarium holds 38 million liters of water, making it the second-largest aquarium in the world. Its 60 tanks are home to some 100 000 animals of 500 different species
Lizzy TrailAugust 7, 2014
So much fun! Free entry on your birthday. So much to see and do. The only bad thing was how uncomfortable the seats were at the dolphin show. Not impressed.
Eric AndersenSeptember 3, 2017
Buy tickets ahead of time! Or you have to wait in this line…
Sheila MallyaAugust 14, 2021
I love the aquarium but they should allow photography taken at the shows like dolphin, Blue planet and sea lion.
Anish EapenJuly 21, 2017
Been here 10+ times
Sunday mornings (before noon) are not crowded, and a good time to go!
DA WFebruary 13, 2012
Dolphin show was fun! Sit in the first few rows..you don't get very wet. Go to the first show then when the other two shows are in session the aquarium is cleared out and you can walk around freely.
Michael GalusJanuary 4, 2019
Awesome is the only way to describe the experience of seeing the Georgia Aquarium! A-1 in everything they do there!
Alan PriceOctober 23, 2013
This aquarium is pretty awesome. Go during the week or on a pretty weekend. We went on a Saturday that was rainy and it was pretty crowded.
Steven BakerApril 8, 2013
It's amazing! On busy days, buy your tickets in advance online or at the kiosks to avoid the lines. Kiosks are to the right (towards parking garage).
Carlito G.November 26, 2018
Free admission for active duty military and 30% discounts for dependents and retirees in Mondays!
Krys RonquilloAugust 20, 2012
Skip the crowds and the kids by wandering into the ballroom. There are two tanks there that let you see the whale sharks from the big tank and the beluga whales on a more intimate level.
Christine WilsonOctober 2, 2015
Great aquarium, best to go when its raining. Not many people. The underwater tunnel bridge is amazing. But expensive for what you see

Mario DiazJanuary 13, 2016
The largest aquarium in the wold, incredible place, if you are in Atlanta or you are planning your trip, you have to come.
Patrick MoranJuly 31, 2013
If you visit during the summer, be prepared for many, many, MANY summer camp groups. Try to come as soon as they open so you can avoid the kids!
Tye WJuly 10, 2016
Purchase your ticket in advance online for 4pm or after for a cheaper rate.

Very cool space. Pricey to get in, but lots of activities and shows to make your price worth it if you utilize them.
AtlantaMarch 13, 2012
Don't miss out on the Ocean Voyager Exhibit. It holds 6.3 million gallons of water and houses thousands of animals, including four whale sharks and four manta rays!
Sharone RioAugust 15, 2015
The moving sidewalk under glass tunnel is great entertainment for kiddos. Bring your own food!
Tamara Trixia WrightMarch 19, 2017
It's bigger than Tennessee Aquarium and more sea life to see!especially the Whatever and the moving floor is the best!
Kevin TNovember 12, 2018
When you get to the Voyager Tank underwater tunnel, don't stay on the moving walkway... Just hang out on the side and take pictures!
