Scott SmallwoodApril 7, 2010Just got back from the Georgia Aquarium for Spring Break. Excellent trip and saw an awesome shark exhibit called Planet Shark. You can get a coupon from them on Twit Pic. http://twitpic.com/1dn5wk Read more
Michael BrookhartSeptember 12, 2011Well worth visiting. Make sure to make this a stop on your trip or if you live in the Atlanta Area.- Allie ShapiroOctober 15, 2013Beautiful and amazing! Check out every inch inc the beluga whales and sea otters!
Nasser AlQatamiFebruary 24, 2012A lovely sight, make sure to sit outside in park during the summer. Also, get the foursquare coupon, just mention it.
Lori de RavelloDecember 31, 2013Get your seats for the dolphin show early, or you'll be in the nosebleed section!
If you have an event in the ballroom, please remember the ballroom entrance is located on the FIRST level of the parking deck.
Jimmy RickyJune 16, 2015Be aware of long lines and a very crowded experience. I don't think they ever stopped letting people in and it was shoulder to shoulder through most of the exhibits. Go early or be warned.
Only two aquariums in the world have Whale Sharks - the Ga Aquarium (which has 4) and the Tokyo Aquarium (which has one)
Wendy GMarch 24, 2012Your ticket price now includes the Dolphin Show, but you need to get your show tickets inside. Doors open about 30-40 mins before each show.
If you are a diver you need to check out the "Journey with the Gentle Giant" program. Where else can you five with hammerheads, groupers and whale sharks.
Anna C.June 13, 2012i was literally at the aquarium for six hours. this place is incredible! the belugas are very playful.
Explore GeorgiaJanuary 22, 2013The Georgia Aquarium is the spot where Liam Hemsworth's character, Will, works in "The Last Song," starring alongside Miley Cyrus.
Ken OrzeJuly 1, 2014The Diving with the gentle Giants" program is a thrill! Advance reservations required
bekki hJuly 7, 2011If the ballroom is open go in to see the back of the Beluga Whale exhibit and Ocean Voyager tank minus the crowds.
Holly Wisniewski-MascowNovember 1, 2013This is a must go for those who live here or fugitive visiting
Dolores LoudermilkJuly 23, 2017Almost exactly the same as the Singapore aquarium on Sentosa. If you've been there, you can skip this one.- Explore GeorgiaJanuary 22, 2013The Georgia Aquarium is the spot where Liam Hemsworth's character, Will, works in "The Last Song", starring alongside Miley Cyrus.
Jamie WeissAugust 21, 2010Put aside a lot of time for the adorable stingray! They'll come right up to you and want their heads rubbed. Honestly, it's the only part of this place worth while.
Ask at the kiosk in front of ocean voyager if there is any room to go swim or dive with the whale sharks! Walk ups get a 10% discount!
Yolanda Johnson-BryantApril 10, 2016Was here back in 2007. A lot has changed. Wasn't as pleased but my granddaughter's first time, she enjoyed it.
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011Big enough for a whale shark and some elbow room: The Georgia Aquarium is the world's largest aquarium.
Mayra StoverAugust 9, 2015It is NOT free on your birthday!!! Only applies to some one with a GA lic!
Linda VoronetskiSeptember 6, 2013Hey. Come on your birthday. Its free, if you are a ga resident with a valid id
Rachel BuechnerNovember 24, 2012Expect to spend well over $100 on admission for 2 adults and 3 kids. Holiday weekends are extremely busy!!!
