A must if you are visiting Atlanta! Event space is really cool if you are looking to host.

Please pay attention in the parking garage to avoid problems and issues with paying before you try to leave. It seems to be a problem for a lot of families and having to back track, etc
Eric AndersenSeptember 3, 2017
Plan ahead; the parking garage takes 30-45 minutes to enter on the weekends. Then another 45 minutes to buy tickets. So arrive ~2 hours before you want to actually visit.

Walk through an actual shark tank (courtesy of a special acrylic tunnel) as part of the Ocean Voyager attraction. Or have the littlest ones find Nemo among the coral reefs of the Tropical Diver exhibi

The dolphin show was the absolute best

The Georgia Aquarium is the #1 attraction in Atlanta and rightfully so. It is the largest indoor aquarium in the world with whale sharks and beluga whales, just to name list a few of the star performe

Check all the feeding times online so you dont miss the otters getting their teeth brushed. Too cute! The ocean voyager large viewing room is just pure magic.
Gu3 MomMay 18, 2013
Free admission on your birthday! Just show I.D. Take time to really look around each tank as there are sometimes things hiding, camoflaged on the sand, etc.
Helena FrankelMay 26, 2013
Amazing place,loved the dolphin tales show!too crowded today,try to avoid weekends before a holiday!
Jennifer PahlkaApril 14, 2013
The Monterey Bay Aquarium is far superior. This place is worth a visit if you're in town with a kid but be forewarned: it is highly commercialized and kind of cheesy.
Mary NamestnikNovember 6, 2016
Make sure you catch the dolphin show!
Mike KAugust 13, 2016
Every tourist should take advantage of this place. Also they should stop at the world of coca-cola across from the aquarium 👍
T BrentonJuly 11, 2015
Best aquarium around. A must for the family. See the dolphin show and prepare to get wet.
Asaf FabbiAugust 24, 2013
Use the electronic kiosks to purchase your tickets than take the blue advance ticket line. It is much faster than waiting in line to buy tickets regularly.

Holds more than 10 million gallons of fresh and marina water, and features more than 60 habitats including 16,000 square feet of viewing windows. Find Deepo, the Aquarium mascot, and take a pic! Read more

The Dolphin Tales show was AMAZING!!! Very impressive. A bit of a wait but so worth it. We were maybe 12 rows up and BARELY got wet.
Ken OrzeDecember 9, 2013
Diving in the big tank is awesome as the whale sharks & Mantas are very comfortable getting REAL close
Giovanni CorredorNovember 30, 2015
You have to come! Won't regret it. Amazing experience. Watch out for the dolphin show. Very nice
Lears FoolJune 23, 2017
Get there when it opens at 8 and go to the ocean exhibit first.Enjoy the whale sharks before everyone else.
Mark KuboAugust 19, 2015
It's a good aquarium with interesting exhibits. There are better ones in the nation, however. Exhibits go off of a central area of food and merchandising which may be annoying to some.
Louis MetcalfNovember 21, 2015
Fascinating place for family, dates, or solo trips. Super crowded on weekends so go early or midweek.
Karey MorrisAugust 6, 2011
Buy your tix online and bypass the insane ticket office line. Also, go on a weekday if you can. The weekend crowd is miserable, esp if you're claustrophobic or value your personal space!
Rita BellingerSeptember 5, 2010
if you are using city pass you have a free voucher to take a quick dip tour & trust me you want to use that voucher! with it you can go backstage 2 several of the exhibits & above the whales tank

Best place in the world! I loved it so much here, i didn't want to leave!
Javier SomozaFebruary 16, 2020
The best aquarium and ideal for children
Nicky SmithDecember 16, 2015
Wonderful exhibition! Next time, I will skip CNN and Coca Cola so I can spend more time there.
Amber Lynn MesfinDecember 20, 2010
The most magical place in Atlanta. I love job coaching my clients who work here! Stop by Sharp Shooters and ask to see your picture too- by the way, have you seen the underwater mermaid show?!?
Jun DMarch 10, 2014
Don't miss the wide big screen window at the Ocean Voyager exhibit!! Those whale sharks are huge!!!
Maddie MalcolmJuly 19, 2015
My only complaint is that the Dolphins are kept in a small tank and appear to be stressed. Other than that it's a very entertaining aquarium.
John RubenMarch 17, 2014
It's mainly for kids and they will surly have fun.. Not so much for adults except for the dolphin and giant sting gray... Make sure you have separate tickets for the dolphin show..
Travis MoetApril 4, 2013
Consider getting a season pass, if you decide on your same visit your daily ticket can be converted into a season pass by just paying the difference.
ChandlerNovember 26, 2011
Get there early in the morning before all of the young kids in strollers and mothers who pretend that you don't exist come and stand in front of you when you're looking in a tank
G CApril 17, 2012
A special place in every way. Beautifully designed and honestly spectacular! You can spend the whole day and still want more.
Magda BorgesJune 20, 2015
Great place to visit! So many things to see... The Dolphins show is unbelievably cute!
Rizwana AbedinMarch 1, 2012
If you can afford it, you can swim in a giant tank with the fishes and dolphins while your friends and family watch. I wish I could have done it.
Josh ReeleyFebruary 23, 2018
The viewing room of the whale shark tank. I could sit and watch for hours, so relaxing.

The Georgia Aquarium's Earth Day celebration is a great opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at how staff care for animals as well as scavenger hunts, arts & crafts, and more.

Elaine treats Dwayne to his first trip here on 3/12/2011; it is no wonder why this place is so popular - an awesome array of aquatic animals makes this a must-see place! Read more

We can spend hours sitting in front of the viewing window. They have the second largest viewing window in the world at 23 feet tall by 61 feet wide and 2 feet thick.

Aquarium is very good. Shows are awesome
Rebecca WNovember 14, 2010
I had a great experience - LOVED the large tank where you walk through the tunnel. It is a little hard to see the exhibits when crowded so go during the week to avoid the high traffic.
Julian NamDecember 20, 2011
The world's largest aquarium and one of the best. Make sure to check out the 4 young whale sharks, 4 beluga whales, and 4 manta rays.
Jesus DzulFebruary 14, 2016
Whale shark tank is awesome, you must visit the aquarium if you visit Atlanta.
Jt TourangeauSeptember 15, 2013
Go to Whale shark display during one of the Dolphin shows, hardly anyone in main viewing area
EbruJanuary 23, 2014
After 3.30 (week), it is likekly to be the best time to go in means of less visitors than daytme. No ques at all but there are no dolphn show after 3.30 still you have chance to watch their trainings.
Percy HolmesJuly 22, 2017
It an amazing place but as an adult, I would probably go on adult night.
