    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.

    Get there when they open, the lines get ridiculous by noon. Dolphin show is great, you really get soaked in the first few rows.

    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

    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

    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.

    Buy tickets online before you go and skip the lines. Dolphin and Sea Lion Shows alone are worth the price of admission!

    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.

    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!)

    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.

    Ocean Voyager was definitely the coolest. A long tunnel through a giant tank, leading to a huge viewing window!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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!
