    We had an absolutely amazing time when we visited last month, if this is on your itinerary at least budget 4 hours to fully enjoy all the exhibits, activities, and shows the aquarium has to offer. Definitely highly recommend coming as close as you can to opening so you can enjoy the mostly empty aquarium. The staff are all so informative and love to chat. When we come back we are looking forward to a behind the scenes tour.

    We took a 2 day trip here. You could see everything in 1 day without any issue, but we took our time and wanted to see things more than once. There are extra experiences to do, but they do cost extra. The extra experiences are definitely worth doing if you have the extra money, but you won't feel like you miss out on anything if you don't. There is a cafeteria there, it's a little pricey and the food is alright. Every exhibit there is absolutely amazing. Everything looks natural and not like a standard fish tank. Even during busy times, there is plenty of room to see everything. Some of the bigger displays have places to sit and relax while you watch the animals. The shows they have are a lot of fun and definitely worth seeing too. The staff there were all very knowledgeable and open to whatever questions we had. We spent a lot of extra time watching the sharks and the whale shark exhibits.

    Will be coming back! I'm so impressed with the size of this aquarium, it was very easy to walk through, all sections set up easy to navigate. The dolphin show was great. The whale sharks were so impressive. I saw some people doing the shark dive, it looked like so much fun. Plenty of seating in the different exhibits, we sat and watched the fish and the sharks for quite a while. The gift shop had a lot of items to pick from.

    Beautiful place to visit. I liked the tunnel where people walk and you can see all the fish, sharks, whales and other creatures swimming next to and above you, it’s amazing!!! But if you really want to enjoy the visit to this aquarium, you must buy tickets to see the different shows they offer. Without seeing the shows, the visit won’t be worthy. They always take a picture of you right before the entrance so be ready with a nice outfit so you will look good on the photo that will become one of your best memories!!! Highly recommended!!

    Wonderful aquarium one of the best! This is an awesome an aquarium on steroids! To be able to see so many animals up close is amazing! Whale sharks, Belugas, dolphins, manta rays, and so much much more! The tank sizes are gianormous and really impressive. We love the different sections that it is divided up into. Great for all ages. Does get busy on weekends.

    Went over a holiday weekend and it was super crowded. I'd love to go again when there are less people. The Cafe was very good, we got the bowl and salad and fries. They were all delicious and even though there was a large crowd, our food came out quickly.

    We had an amazing time at the aquarium! Our son was able to spend his 2nd birthday in awe of every single creature. We certainly plan to bring him back! He LOVED the sharks!!!! Luckily we were able to get GA resident passes before it was too late and plan to join as members when he’s around 3 or 4. The staff were nice, informative, and seemed genuinely happy to be there! We didn’t eat anything but the cafe was clean and the restrooms. The restrooms had free feminine hygiene products, which is so thoughtful. There were times that it was crowded with bigger kids, but we were able to keep a good distance so he could enjoy everything without “being in the way.” We did take a photo at entry but the system couldn’t locate the picture, so unfortunately we weren’t able to purchase it. We had a great time! Be sure to rsvp if you have a resident pass and read their entry rules-especially about stroller sizes. I would definitely pay for parking in advance :)

    We got discounted tickets due to an event we were attending. When we showed up, we had an issue with our tickets and they handled it very well and got us taken care of. The facility was nice and clean. We liked the layout and the way each section was laid out. The food was a bit over priced for what it was, but sadly expected in a place like this.

  • 5/5 Phia V. 1 year ago on Google
    I just love it. ... I think its a two story building and there are lots lounge chairs, tables&chairs,bathrooms too. ... Huge space to walk and wheelchair friendly. All the Aquariums are wonderful and amazing. ... From time to time there will be informative information about the featured fishes or animals. ... The only thing is par is the food. It's just okay but they have a cup for unlimited refill. To hydrate while walking around the Aquariums. The price is on the expensive side but totally worth it. ... Service is good. ... We had a fun filled day. ...

    The aquarium was beautiful and there were just so many species of fish whales and sharks, also dolphins. I would really recommend coming here on a road trip or if you live nearby. You might get shocked by the size of the whale sharks at first but after a while you’re fine.

    Loved the aquarium! The price is a bit steep but I understand it's also to help maintain and care for all the animals and habitats. The food there is pricey and not the best quality- chicken tenders are pretty generic frozen tenders, the burger was good but nothing special. The exhibits were great. The place was pretty clean considering how many school/kid groups were there. Wish we could have brought our kids even if it costs a small fortune 🤣

    It's a great aquarium but some exhibits were empty and I didn't get to experience the 'extras' 3D and dolphin shows specifically. They do have cool pop-in holes where you can take pictures and it looks like your in there with the animals. The location is great! It's across the street from Olympic Park and walking distance to several other must see attractions. There is food available inside and they take a pic of you entering and you can buy it if you'd like. Great for the kids and couples!!!

    The wife and I enjoyed most of our time here. 4/5 stars due to some of the staff not enforcing the mask rule. Felt extremely crowded during the afternoon... Go in the morning. Otherwise an very nice visit. Definitely worth the time and money to go there. I feel very positive that the animals are treated very well here.

    I've been to the aquarium ~5 times and it's always fun! They have so many fish, sharks, small whales etc. It's really well done. The dolphin show is a strong highlight and people visiting from out of town always enjoy it. However, I was surprised by the lack of social distancing and people improperly wearing masks. In hindsight it's not a good place to visit during COVID.

    This was one of the most stunning and educational aquariums I've ever visited... Well worth the visit. They are doing a great job maintaining a safe environment for all and following Covid protocols. Plan to be here for several hours touring each different habitat. The shark exhibit was mesmerizing but the beluga whales were also fun to watch. This is a must-visit if you're in Atlanta. I recommend getting everything, including the parking pass, online beforehand to save time!

    Amazing! From the moment we walked into the aquarium we realized that we were going to have a great time. The exhibits were easy to find and beautifully presented. Our favorite was the 4D Octopus show which we highly recommend. It is included with the price of your general admission ticket as is the Dolphin show. You just need to scan a QR code with your camera and reserve a time. We highly recommend this Aquarium.

    The Georgia Aquarium continues to be one of my favorite places to visit whenever I find myself in Atlanta. It is well worth the price of admission, and since they are constantly making improvements, things feel fresh and new every time I go. I also appreciated the precautions they were taking for covid and felt safe while I was visiting. I still love how they blend education and fun and it makes it a great spot to visit no matter how old you are. Georgia Aquarium is the world's most magical aquarium. Situated near Centennial Olympic Park and World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta,Georgia, Georgia Aquarium offers its guests an experience like no other. Across six separate galleries, with more than 70 amazing habitats, 10 million gallons of water and thousands of species of marine animals, guests will marvel at, learn about and come to better understand such majestic aquatic animals as whale sharks, manta rays, dolphins, beluga whales, sea otters, African penguins and thousands of species of exotic fish and other animals. The spectacular AT&T Dolphin Tales show combines incredible natural animal behaviors with dynamic theatrics, a Broadway-inspired musical score and a compelling story, which together underscore the connection between humans and the animal world.

    Don’t let the negative reviews here put you off of visiting this absolutely amazing place. We try to go every year! It’s such an educational experience, even if you don’t have kids. I love that the sea lion & dolphin’s shows mention facts about what they do & how the rescue and rehab sea animals. There’s interesting information in every exhibit about the animals in that area. The cafeteria food is a price you would expect, but it’s nice portions & flavor, lots of space to sit. The crowds do get bad, so it’s better(in my opinion) to go in the morning. But even when it’s crowded, it’s still lots of fun if you have the patience to wait. Just like when you go to Disney. Buy tickets before hand online! It makes getting in a breeze. The kids were absolutely happy and amazed by all the sea animals, even though they been multiple times they never get bored. We’re already planning our next trip. I think the price is fair for the absolute quality of this place. The restrooms are ALWAYS super clean, all of them, and there’s a lot of restrooms throughout the building, so that’s a plus. Almost all of the employees were super nice, including the cleaning ladies.

    This place is impressive! Definitely worth checking out! Buy tickets online a day before or definitely before arriving and getting in line to enter!!! I would say get there early to take advantage of all the shows they offer. The shows are included in your ticket, all you have to do is make a reservation! There will be QR codes where you can make reservations at. If you don’t like big crowds- this is not the place for you. It’s packed- lots of people and lots of strollers! Be careful when walking. **I did visit on a Sunday morning on a holiday weekend** They have bathrooms everywhere- if that’s important to you. You know it is for those with little ones! They do have a dining area and restaurant for if you need a snack! Give yourself at least 3 hours to get through this gigantic place!

    We came here on a Saturday, our reservation was for 4 o’clock. It was pretty busy but everything moved pretty quickly. The longest we had to wait for out of everything was the parking. There was a long line driving into the parking garage and then it took a while to find parking. The walk from the garage to the actual aquarium is a pretty long one and you have to wait on the elevator for some time when there is a lot of people. The aquarium itself was absolutely beautiful. There is a lot to see. Our favorite was watching the whale sharks, they are such beautiful creatures and so massive. My kids enjoyed crawling through the tunnels they have through the exhibits. Overall I would come again.

    The aquarium is truly an adventure worth taking. It is the best aquarium I've ever personally been to, and I can't wait to go back. It can get crowded very fast, so I recommend you get there as early as possible to get the most bang for your buck. Also, getting there early will really help you with parking. They are very handicap friendly. They are also accessible to those with sensory issues.

    We had lots of fun. It's my first time visiting here .I really enjoyed their dolphin and sea otter shows. We sat in the splash zone for both. For sea otter , there is no splash. But for the dolphin show, we were completely wet, but I would do it again. It was amazing. The only thing I would change is that I would schedule the show in the last slot instead of first in the morning.

    I had a wonderful time visiting this aquarium. It is a well-designed and well-maintained facility with a wide variety of marine life to see. The exhibits are well-organized and easy to navigate, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. One of the things I appreciated most about this aquarium is that it is easy to get around. There is a clear central hub from which all of the exhibits radiate, making it easy to find your way back to the beginning if you get lost. The aquarium is also wheelchair accessible, which is a great plus. I also enjoyed the two main shows, the seal show and the dolphin show. Both shows were well-produced and informative, and the animals seemed to be well-cared for. I appreciated that there was also the option to make a free reservation for the shows, as this helped to ensure that everyone had a chance to see them. In addition to the exhibits and shows, the aquarium also offers behind-the-scenes experiences and educational programs. I did not have the opportunity to participate in any of these, but I was impressed by the variety of options available. Overall, I highly recommend this aquarium to anyone interested in marine life. It is a great place to learn about and appreciate the diversity of the underwater world.

    I enjoyed myself at the aquarium. They have way more sea animals there than they had when I went during my childhood which made the experience extraordinary. The dolphin show was lit, and the shark exhibit was the part that really grab my attention, it was fun to see. Never in a million years did I think I would get the chance to see a shark up close and personal rather than watching the movie JAWS and "Deep blue sea" 😂😂😂.

    The best attraction in town. The sections are beautiful and well cared. We catch the dolphin and sea lion show, it's a must-see and very funny for children. The huge aquarium is a nice place to watch the huge fish and whale sharks. We made two tours and spend six hours there with my daughter. She loved to touch the ray. Don't miss it. It's extraordinary.

    We had a great day at the aquarium. It was very clean, decorated for the holidays, and there was a lot to see. The dolphin show was amazing. The sea lion show could have been better. There is only a virtual map but it’s easy to flow from one location to another. Our stroller was a jogging stroller but it fit within their box so it was allowed inside. Check your stroller against their guidelines. You have to reserve a time for the shows, but I was able to sign up for a different time later in order to move our slot up. We got there before 9 and left around 11:30. Very clean tanks and lots of viewing areas. We went on a Saturday and it started to get very crowded as the day went on. Recommended to get there at open. The plaza outside had a nice holiday set up from the Coca-Cola brand.

    I was really impressed with this aquarium. I enjoy visiting aquariums whenever I travel. I've see great ones and not so great ones. Usually, the land locked locations are less impressive. Not the case here. The exhibits were great. The largest tanks were very well done. I have never seen a whale shark live. Beautiful animals. There's also a see through tunnel where you are immersed in the experience. I definitely recommend visiting. It's not a cheap ticket, but aquariums never are.

  • 5/5 Laura R. 2 months ago on Google • 55 reviews New
    This aquarium is absolutely incredible! It is so well planned out & we didn’t feel overwhelmed once. I love that everything let back to the center of the aquarium so you never got lost. The food was expensive but surprisingly the best we’ve had in Atlanta so far. The dolphin show was a great length & had some really cool spins/jumps with the trainers. Gift shop had awesome but pretty expensive stuff. We love that they had a scuba mermaid, something for our daughter too. So many cool interactive things with the animals for our kids to enjoy. Highly recommend!!

    Absolutely love this aquarium 😍 definitely DO NOT go on a weekend day .. or the day that the National championship for cheerleading is..... the amount of people inside of the aquarium was OUTRAGEOUS!! They really should be limiting the amount of people hourly. Or have some kind of system.. it was hard to move truly. Restricted movement and germs everywhere. The public parking is horrendous .. definitely get a day pass for parking ahead of time because again.. finding parking close by is not an option. You will need to walk a good distance in the middle of the city to get there parking in a public parking garage... as far as the actual aquarium goes… it was beautiful and huge. Some enclosures were sad (not enough space for the giant brilliant animals they enclose) like the dolphins and the otters. Lots of cool animals and lots to do inside the aquarium. Perfect day trip.

  • 5/5 All things C. 3 years ago on Google
    Was a great place to enjoy with the kids. $35.95 per ticket Online.Was worth it. $12 parking on their garage. Should be complementary with the aquarium ticket. I found FREE parking on the street. (Due to Covid19, the city is not charging parking at the moment). Crowded (I went on the last 2 hours of the day), but people try to keep distance, others don't care much. All ages recommended. The views are amazing, well planned. Would definitely come back if visiting Atlanta again.

    Upsides: Whale Sharks! Really cool to watch in their huge aquarium along with Manta Rays and many other smaller rays, sharks, and other fish. The other exhibits are well done, but a bit small for such a world class aquarium. Everything is very close together, so no long walks between exhibits. Paid parking is available onsite. Downsides: All shows cost extra. Because everything is close together, it could get crowed easily. We went on a slow day and really enjoyed it. Bottom line: We had a great afternoon enjoying the exhibits for a reasonable price. Parking was easy in their parking garage. Well worth a stop if you are traveling through Atlanta.

    We had a blast! It was quite large and there was plenty to see. It took us about 3 hours to walk all the exhibits and all of them were both interesting and beautiful. We will definitely be coming back for another visit this summer. Member pass was the better deal if you'll be here twice a year.

    What a wonderful place to visit. We spent about 8 hours here today. Went through everything we could that was free. Even bought a behind the scenes tour which was awesome. You learn so much and you get to see so much that you don't normally see Sat in front of the large aquarium that has whale sharks and rays for a long time. Just sitting there relaxing. By the way, they have food and beverages for purchase. The prices are a little high but the convenience is great and the food is good. So definitely something you can do for the whole day bring the family and not have to leave

    Such an amazing experience! I took my four year old and my eight year old and they had so much fun! It is educational and breathtaking! We saw the dolphin show as well as the sea lion show. I highly recommend going during the weekday if you can and definitely get there early. Very friendly staff and clean restrooms and private nursing areas for breastfeeding mothers.

    This place was amazing! My wife and son had a blast when we got here. The location is great, right in downtown and in the mix between the coke museum and other things. We had no wait time when we got there. The ticket kiosk was a great way to get our tickets early. Let me start off with the cleanliness off this place, amazing and epic. Enough said. Very clean. All the exhibits were very informative and beautiful. So many sea animals to see and learn about. Of course the main attraction was the whale shark located in the biggest aquarium tank I have ever seen. This beautiful creature is massive and swims slowly around without a care in the world. We found out that you can scuba dive and snorkel in the tank also which will be a must when we go back! That is awesome as awesome can be! Don't worry though, all the sea animals in that tank are gental and will not hurt a soul. To swim with something so massive is something to behold and is a true experience to have. I am jelly 😁. Next time though. This aquarium has a lot to see for young ones and adults alike. The exhibits are clean and the animals look like they are taken well care of in the facility. We like all the exhibits in the facility so it is hard to point out our favorite at this time but the for sure the shark exhibit and the whale shark exhibit are something to behold! We definitely will be going back the next time we are in Atlanta and will be diving with the crew to get a once in a life time experience. The staff is friendly down to the core and they look and act like they enjoy what they do! I mean who wouldn't!? All in all this place is a great visit for those whom enjoy the ocean and all it's wonders and for those who love the knowledge that comes along with these awesome creatures. I look forward to the exhibits as some parts were under construction. Neither I or my family had any issues and we give this 10 stars of we could. Great job to the staff. We appreciate all your hard work!

    This aquarium was a great experience. I came here on a Tuesday morning . It was not crowded at all . I do recommend buying tickets in advance . I got a discount through my job . If you are active or retired military personnel you are eligible for a discount as well. The aquarium is broken up into different sections . It took around 2-3 hours to cover the whole aquarium. They are shows as well other interaction things to do here .The staff were very knowledgeable which I loved and the facility is kept is great condition. I truly had a great time .

    Fun for all ages. Incredible experience for two adults even. Loved seeing all of the sharks and manatees in the tunnel and the viewing gallery. Could sit there for hours just watching. Also loved the beluga whales and the river otters. So cute!

  • 4/5 antoinette r. 3 years ago on Google
    A lot to see here. We saw the new shark exhibit. Wished they had a guided tour to explain what we were seeing. There is a lot of written descriptions but it would have been nice to have someone live. We did the behind the seas tour which was great. It's about 30 minutes long and you go behind (on the other side) of the tanks and see where they feed the fish and how they keep replenishing the water that the fish swim in. Definitely worth the extra $15 for this tour. When trying to book it on their website it appeared as though the tour was sold out but make sure to click on the box with the tour time and a drop down will appear with other available times. For $35 my husband and I also got a cartoon sketch of ourselves in color. Takes about 15 minutes once you get in the chair. It came out great! Some real talented gentlemen doing this work. We prepaid for parking on the aquarium website. There is a special entrance for the prepaid parking. Just look for the signs that say "prepaid parking" as you approach the aquarium. We redeemed our prepaid parking at the exit because I wasn't able to redeem it at the kiosk because although it's prepaid you still need a ticket to exit. There was an employee working at the garage exit and he was able to help us redeem our prepaid ticket. Turns out the reason I wasn't able to redeem the prepaid ticket at the kiosk was because my phone was in dark mode and the scanner couldn't scan my prepaid ticket from my phone.

    The place is so beautiful. Though it was a bit crowded but we really enjoyed the time there. We watched the Dolphin show. It was amazing. Whoever is planning to go there please check the show times before you go so that you can plan accordingly. We didn't pay for early reservation with extra 5$ for the Dolphin show, still we managed to get seats with good view. Besides Dolphin show they have some other shows but we didn't watch them. They have different sections in the aquarium such as Ocean voyage, dolphin coast, shark etc. Make sure you visit all of them. One of my friends said the aquarium is more beautiful during night time. But I am not sure as I went there in daytime. They have some food corners there. We didn't eat there so don't know abou the prices. For the car parking its best to reserve aquarium's parking online with $15. We didn't do that and end up paying $20 for another parking near aquarium. We couldn't find any cheaper parking there.

    It is busy. I feel like they could do a better job at limiting the amount of people in the building. We reserved tickets for a certain time, but it was crowded. People were hogging the windows so we would wait our turn only to have others cut and crowd out the others. When we would get to the viewing windows people would have no respect for the 6 ft social distancing. Elevators clearly state 2 people or 1 family and everytime we got on another whole family would crowd in with us. Besides that, the kids had fun! We all enjoyed it thoroughly. We ate there; food was good, but extremely expensive. They have a new exhibit with just sharks. That was probably the best part and the otters playing. We will definitely be going back!

    Great experience. They do require face masks the entire time still, so be prepared for that (August 2021) Dolphin show was great. The Whale shark exhibit and the Shark exhibit ate pretty incredible. Meals are marked up here a bit but nothing outrageous and there's some decently affordable options as well.

    Amazing unique experience. Our favorite was actually the beluga whales, but caught a sea lion show and dolphin show, both were informative and entertaining. The whale sharks of course were amazing as well! The place is almost like am aquarium shopping mall. A central area with various exhibits down corridors so you can pick where you want yo go when, and return to favorite exhibits. This is a very different setup to most aquariums where you walk a path and have to go against traffic if you want to go back to look at something. It is a huge aquarium with so much to explore, we happily spent 7 hours enjoying all the exhibits. Thank you!

    We absolutely loved Georgia aquarium experience. It’s fun for all ages. They have timed entry and require face masks. There are variety of exhibits which are absolutely stunning and easy to navigate. Everything is well maintained. The dolphin show is included in the ticket but make sure to reserve your spot in advance. We would definitely like to go back as it’s totally worth it!!

    My family of all ages had an incredible indoor experience at the Georgia Aquarium on a hot day! We enjoyed the many exhibits down different labeled corridors which made it easy to self navigate, a stingray touch pool, a beautiful walk through tunnel with a nice view of the sea animals swimming over head, an okay gift shop, food court, and room with a couple interactive games some where you sat to play and some were on big screen that was tablet assisted. The dolphin show was amazing. The only thing we didn’t try out was the shark cage diving and scuba diving. Mask were required and I saw a worker sanitizing areas which I do appreciate. I only managed to get a few videos and pictures since we were having such a good time.

    Whale sharks are cool to see! The aquarium does so much great work for the environment and research to help the oceans. It is well worth going out of your way for the best aquarium in the United States. The dolphin show was by far a highlight of my visit, it was educational, entertaining and the dolphins has some cool tricks.

    This is my son's favorite museum in Atlanta. He's 10 years old now and he's been coming years since he was a toddler. We have made wonderful memories here. They do research and they do education which is wonderful. They have a range of different types of environments that they present here in different tanks. You have both southeastern United States aquatic environments as well as those recreated from tropical and other areas from around the world. Behind the scenes ticket is worth it for a young kid because you'll hear and learn about things from behind the scenes that no one else really experiences.

    The best aquarium in the world,hands down. Whale Sharks, Penguins, Sea Lions, and many other sea animals. Can definitely spend a whole day here to see all of the shows & exhibit. We got our tickets through the Atlanta city pass (includes Cola, & College Football Hall Of Fame). Saved a few bucks for each attraction. A must visit if your in the area.

    This was my absolute favorite attraction when visiting Atlanta for Christmas. Me and my family walked from our hotel, Courtyard by Marriott Atlanta Downtown, was not far whatsoever. We bought our tickets online, and had difficulty with our last ticket at the scanner for getting in- Staff was very understanding and caused us no trouble letting us through. Was able to carry my drink inside, and was kindly asked to throw my straw away. As busy as they were on Christmas eve, it didn’t feel too crowded even though it very much was. Well maintained spacious museum! Each exhibit was fascinating to see & clean! Would love to visit again.

    The Georgia Aquarium is pretty cool as far as aquariums go but the price is a bit steep for the exhibits that they have on display and most of the animals like sharks, gators and things of that sort are all tiny so it may be very entertaining for little kids but from my 7yr old to my 18yr old and the ones in between. They weren't very entertained by all the small animals and exhibits. $37 is to much to me. An actual zoo is cheaper with way more...

    First time here and probably the best aquarium I have been to! The dolphin and seal show are so nice and the animals are amazing! Shows are included with ticket but definitely need to make reservations because the seats fill up quick. Recommend as soon as you get into the aquarium, scan the QR code and make the reservation. The animals in the different parts of the aquarium were awesome. They do have a cafeteria in there which is great! They also had face painters and sketch artists which was neat. Ticket price per person is $30-40 and they do give military discount which is nice. Parking deck right by aquarium with centennial park right across the street and World of Coca Cola right beside it.

    What a beautiful place! We loved seeing all of the exhibits here at the aquarium. We most anticipated the whale sharks and manta rays, and they didn't disappoint! It was quite busy when we went—even on a Thursday. However, even at bigger exhibits, if you waited and watched for a bit, you could get a good view for some beautiful pictures and spectacular views. Parking was pretty scarce too. We were able to find some but had to go up quite a few levels. That makes sense given the business of the aquarium though. Overall, it was a great trip and the people and parking situation never took away from the experience.

    I am really surprised to see such positive changes at the aquarium! Things I had never seen before made this trip the most memorable! Parking was great using spot hero and the line to enter was really quick on Sunday. The Ocean Voyager section was the most memorable. We could have sat in front of that glass wall for an hour and not been bored. Looking at the whale sharks and tank the turtle was amazing but seeing the size of the sting rays was incredible. I really enjoyed the dolphin show which I didn't even know existed! The shark section was also really amazing with multiple viewing windows. Lunch was really quick and easy! Just pick up a tray and grab whatever! The fries were pretty well cooked and we enjoyed that! Overall we had an amazing experience and I'm really happy to have seen the updates! We used a city pass and it made it so much more affordable to visit here as well as other major attractions!

    Visited on a weekend. Parking is very challenging. Read the instructions in the tickets and drive to the exact parking spot. From the parking garage to enter into aquarium is another challenge. We didn’t have spot to park the car inside and drove all the way to the top most level on open space. Book for dolphin 🐬 show and sea lions 🦭 show in advance and it’s free included in the ticket. Go in 30 minutes advance to both the shows. If you go in time they will close the gate and will not allow you inside. The security didn’t allow us because we were in time and when went to dolphin show entrance it was 2:16pm and show starts at 2:15pm. Poor queue management in the entrance. Inside the aquarium it’s beautiful 🤩 lights, decors, details and all the sea exhibits were amazing 🥲. We had great time. Easily can spend 5-6 hours here. Plan and visit accordingly. Aquarium and walk in the downtown is the best.

    A terrific experience. Viewing the exhibits is more fun when you can see and experience the awe in the little ones. Yes, it is swarming with kids, all in some crazed state. However, once you start seeing this foreign world in detail, you will be acting like a child too. Pro tip #1 Unless you get a package, buy tickets online the day before and save $5 per ticket. #2 Get to the visitor’s desk right away and scan the code to reserve time on the live shows. These are included with the admission. Do show up early for a nice seat. #3 The splash seats are clearly marked. Sit on those and prepare to be soaked. Overall, the aquarium is a treasure not to be missed.

    This is a fantastic aquarium. If you go to Atlanta, you should go. It is expensive but it’s worth it. Get your tickets online and you’ll save some money. Make reservations to see the shows. They are free, but you have to make reservations. Get there about 15 minutes early so you can get a decent seat. Or earlier. The entire family will enjoy it. Give yourself at least two hours. They have huge whales! Any enormous tank with sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, lots of beautiful fish. An area you can sit and enjoy it. Just go! They have a small restaurant inside and drinks. Pretty pricey like usual. The gift shop was OK. Parking is $20. You supposedly can get cheaper parking pricing online, but for some reason mine didn’t work, and the people that work there were unable to help me. So that was very frustrating. When you buy your timed ticket, give yourself plenty of time to park and walk in. At least 10-15 minutes.

    Buy tickets early to reserve a time. Park at the top floor on the garage. It's only a couple of flights of stairs, very well lit and clean pat to and from the aquarium. We like to keep a bit of time to play in the park before our reservation. The staff is so helpful and ready to educate little visitors. Shout out to Miss V (like the letter). That wonderful lady knows everything about their sharks.

My daughter and I were impressed with the beautiful marine life. the whales 🐋, the penguins 🐧, the dolphins 🐬, the otters 🦦, the manta rays and the incredible view of the jellyfish 🪼.

    This is an experience you absolutely need to have! There is so much to see, you will spend hours here. Very organized and easy to navigate though the aquarium and the different types of sea life. Had the opportunity to watch a Sea Lion show and a Dolphin show all in one day! Concession was well organized and easy to navigate even in large crowds. Would highly suggest getting there early to experience great views of aqua life as the aquarium definitely picks up spectators as the day goes on.

    Probably a little too many people for most peoples comfort at the moment. But it sure is a lot of fun. The new shark exhibit is creepy and exciting. My favorite are the sea dragons. Also don't forget to check out the alligators they are a bit hidden and another top pick. Food is not so great with limited selection, but plenty of great choices once you leave around the area. But all around you will have an amazing time as long as its not way too crowded.

    Honestly, I would wait till after the pandemic. It's a beautiful aquarium and I am looking forward to a future visit BUT I would not have went had I'd known how busy it was. Masks are being worn but distancing is not a thing. The Aquarium is taking reservations but not obeying by it. Total disappointment because it would have helped with the overcrowding. If you are dead set in visiting, make show reservations as soon as you buy your ticket! The dolphin show is by reservation ONLY! Don't miss out like I did :(

    Lovely day out with the family, it's worth signing up to Kids Pass for £1 then getting a child in for free. Blue Reef Aquarium do a lovely job with education and conservation, the tanks and fish look in great condition, you can see a lot of time and effort goes into keeping the animals healthy and happy. I was a little disappointed today to not see any if the talks or feeding taking place at the times stated but it was still a great visit. I would of given 5 stars however I was really disappointed to go into the gift shop to see it full of plastic tat, I'm sure Blue Reef Aquarium are the last people needing to be told why that's bad, come in set an example to other companies!!!

    My daughters just celebrated their 7th birthday and we had their party at the aquarium. It was an absolute BLAST! Our attendant was Lori Kirkland and I couldn’t have asked for someone better. She made sure we were safe and prepared. She was there every step of the way, from the set up, to the break down. Lori was our guardian angel throughout the process. Definitely recommend any parent that is looking for a good party host idea to consider the aquarium and asking for Lori! She’s top notch!

    Covid Percations, Personal Dissapointment, and Accessibility. There are clear panels segmenting viewing areas and stickers on the floor to help maintain social distancing. The amount of people in any one area is low enough to keep 6ft away if you make the effort. Masks are required and hand sanitizer is available around just about every corner. Staff also frequently remind visitors to take percaution against the spread of COVID-19. Overall, for the size of this aquarium (which is large enough to have set me up for very great dissapointment upon my first visit to a different aquarium), the effort put into combating the current pandemic, from the parking deck to the gift shop, is quite commendable. Unfortunately the gift shop does not have any items related to fresh water fish, but I was happy to see they have an entire exhibit dedicated to fresh water fish. Also! The accessibility of the building is impressive. There are stairs, ramps, escelators, and elevators as well as viewing areas reserved for wheelchair users. They also have what I think they refered to as a 'sensory room', which is a closed off space offered to those who might get overwhelmed and need a quiet and calm place to get away to. However this room was not well advertised. I have a feeling there were multiple of them but I only saw one and probably wouldn't have seen it if I hadn't been casually looking around such things.

If you're looking for something to do with the family or just a get away, this would be the ideal spot.

Glass dividers at all exhibit windows. It was a lot better than expected. We went during and the week right at the 9am slot. Got in first and was very nice that way! Recommend going during the week and early for safest experience. As always an amazing aquarium. New shark exhibit is awesome!

    (Translated by Google) A very instructive museum, fascinating to see how many species of fish, similar, and yet so different. Nicely organized tour, interesting for both adults and children. The staff is very friendly, the ticket price is quite ok. And yes, a large enough parking lot for all visitors and walkers along the Koran. Despite the fact that the cafe is not open due to epidemiological measures, a recommendation for a pleasant trip! (Original) Vrlo poučan muzej, fascinirajuće za vidjeti koliko je vrsta riba, sličnih, a opet toliko različitih. Lijepo organiziran obilazak, zanimljiv i odraslima i djeci. Osoblje je vrlo ljubazno, cijena ulaznica sasvim ok. I da, dovoljno veliko parkiralište za sve posjetitelje i šetače uz Koranu. Usprkos što kafić ne radi zbog epidemioloških mjera, preporuka za ugodan izlet!

    Aquarium itself was really nice.they did require masks but people still crowd you. Minus one star for waiting in line for the dolphin show and finding out we had to make reservations. Well guess I'll never see that. Minus one star for ripping people off on parking. Says when you pull in you get a discount for parking with aquarium ticket. Asked when we got in... Employees told us you'll get it in the garage before you leave. Go to leave. Scan parking ticket. 17 bucks. Scan aquarium entry ticket... Nope. No discount. Press help button... Nope it doesn't connect to anyone. Thanks alot. Nice aquarium. Park somewhere else. And make reservations for the dolphins show.

    We had a great experience at the Georgia Aquarium! We could go back today and do it all over again, so much to see! Was very clean and throughout our visit we saw staff cleaning handrails and all high touch areas, masks are required which made us feel better since we have an unvaccinated 11 year old. The one thing I think they could do just a bit better is provide the food service staff with customer service education. Just be prepared for what you want to eat before you get I'm line, there is no waiting and absolutely no food decision making time.

    If you are visiting from out of town, this place is a must go. The dolphins show is great, the seal show is great, the 4D shows where great, everything was great. We was planning on spending about 2 hours here but we actually spent about 3 1/2 hours here. This place is humongous so I advise to dress comfortable with walking shoes. When you come in I advise starting the tour from your left to your right then work your way upstairs.

    Loved this aquarium. Great dolphin presentation and beautiful exhibits. The aquarium took a few hours to get around. Some of the exhibits were very busy and made the hallways feel very narrow. Somewhat bottle necked at stairwells / elevators. A lot of strollers that need access to upper levels causing quite a bit of traffic on the vertical transportation. Overall really great and eager to get back and do it again.

    This is my 3rd time I went to Georgia Aquarium. The best place to see Sea life. Last year they have added Sharks Predators of the deep. Beluga whales are just awesome. One thing I don't like is the Cafe. Don't order cheese pizza it's one of the most pathetic pizza I have ever eaten. It's better to bring your own food and enjoy seating at the 1st floor hall where you can enjoy your food side by side watch beluga whales.

    My family and I really enjoyed the exhibits at the aquarium. Especially watching the larger tanks. As much as I appreciate being able to see the dolphin show we were really uncomfortable with the lack of social distancing. We had assumed paying for advanced seating would have insured we had personal space with no one in the row directly in front and the row directly behind us. This was not the case. If being seated closely to others durning this time would make you feel uncomfortable then I’d recommend skipping the show. There was little to no oversight for social distancing throughout the exhibits and several people with no masks. The exhibits themselves are worth 5 stars however the website was misleading about the social distancing in the dolphin theater.

    The Georgia Aquarium is one of the worlds biggest and best Aquarium’s. We loved taking our time and walking around the aquarium and actually looking behind the scenes. If you are an ocean or lover of the deep blue I encourage you to try Georgia Aquarium. They have some of the rarest breeds and species. The way the aquarium is set up you can see all around in the tanks and enclosure’s. The Bulga Whales are a special and rare things to see if close. The aquarium is very clean and easy to navigate through to give you the best views and ability to see everything up close. They also have locations or tanks set up where you can actually try to touch the different types of smaller species. The Georgia Aquarium has a large parking deck and easy access to the Aquarium. If you have the time and money I recommend the behind the scene tours….

    Absolutely LOVED the Georgia Aquarium!! Did you know that this is one of the biggest aquariums in the world? And one of the only aquariums to have a whale shark? It is simply amazing to see all they have here. Not to mention the fabulous shows they offer that are included in the cost of your entry ticket! I'm talking Dolphin shows comparable to Sea World and Sea Lion shows that exhibit just how incredibly smart these creatures are! Just make sure you download the GA Aquarium app before you attend and reserve a time for when you want to attend the shows. They also offer Behind the Scenes Encounters with the dolphins, beluga whales, penguins, sea lions, and much more, which include feeding and touching the animals. If you're in the Atlanta area, you absolutely cannot miss the opportunity to visit this aquarium! There is no other like it.

    This has to be one of my new favorite aquariums, followed by Ripley's aquarium in Myrtle Beach, SC . Seeing the massive Whale Sharks was definitely worth the price of admission alone not included all the other exhibits. It an unforgettable sight to see. The only down side to it all being just how packed the place was. Try to arrive early to avoid the line and order online to get a discount. P. S: The offer military mondays

    We love coming here. The varieties of fish and other sea life is fantastic. The shows are entertaining as well as educational. Another great part is that a majority of the animals here are due to being saved from injury in the wild. I would also recommend getting an annual pass if you’re able to. There are events throughout the year that are worth coming to if you have the chance. The annual pass will give you discounts on these events if there is a charge. You also get a 10% discount in the gift shops.

So many different sea water and fresh water creatures in this aquarium. I was surprised there is a whale shark in the aquarium swimming around as well. I’ll give yourself a good 1.5hrs-2hrs to checkout whole aquarium. Checkout all the sea creatures around the aquarium. Not just animals of the sea. Also a variety fresh water animals as well.

    This aquarium is deserving of its place as the BEST and biggest aquarium in the U.S. Firstly, I love the layout of this aquarium. Most places I have been to are laid out in a "start-to-finish" fashion--a line so to speak. The Georgia Aquarium has a main area in the center, with various "loops" that start and finish in the center. This made it easy to pick the order that you wanted of the exhibits, revisit your favorite exhibits, or find the location of a show. The exhibits were phenomenal! The ability to feel as if you are within the ocean with these creatures while learning about them and how we can protect their habitats is a wonderful experience. We enjoyed the 4D theater and sea lion show as well. The food was top-teir cafeteria food, and it was about as pricey as I expected it to be. They did have quite a few things to choose from, which was nice. It doesn't matter how many pictures I could have taken or how many I could find online. You can only truly experience this place in person!

    It was very well worth the visit! Huge! Lots to see. If you like reading the information as you tour the area, it'll take some time. We spent 5 hours here and saw all the exhibits and shows that are included in the ticket price. We also had lunch in their cafeteria style dining area, Cafe Aquaria, and did some shopping in one of the gift stores. They have hand sanitizing stations, clean bathrooms, all accessible areas, plenty of photo opportunities, and extra activities you can experience for an additional fee. You will do a lot of walking and standing, so wear comfortable shoes! It's easy to purchase tickets online. June 2023

If you want to see the shows, you have to make a (free) reservation once you get there. We opted to skip the shows to give us more time at the exhibits. Each section is very well done and you get to see so many beautiful creatures up close! Favorites were the shark exhibit, the whale shark, manta rays, sea turtle, penguins, beluga whales, otters and dolphins! My kids absolutely loved it! Food is overpriced and nothing special but we went in between lunch and dinner so we could get by with just a few snacks. Also, there is a small nursing pod for breastfeeding up on the second floor by the food that was very convenient! As with many attractions like this, you exit through the gift shop so be prepared! Overall it was an expensive day (buy tickets in advance to save$5) but worth it for the experience for our family!

    Nicest aquarium I’ve ever been in. We bought tickets online which made entry super quick and easy. They majored in the flashy animals everyone loves to watch and did minor displays on other less interesting animals. Our favorites were the Ocean Adventure tank and the sharks. I could have spent all day at the huge tank. The music they play there is so relaxing and mesmerizing while watching the fish, turtles and whale sharks. It’s super well laid out because you don’t have to go through a maze to see it all. You can just choose the displays from a central point in the middle. Also loved the beluga whales and penguins. The food was outrageously expensive but that is to be expected. So much fun!

    I loved this place! I knew I would. I saw some amazing animals and it left me very excited to learn more. I'm already in the field studying so this was icing on the cake. I took loads of pictures. I would say I wish the dome area was cleaner, but there were other areas for pictures. I think next time I'll try scuba diving or snorkeling options. I wanted to see what that experience looked like before buying it. You don't interact with the whale shark but you can at least try to get closer to observing it.

    We had a really good time here. We ran out of things to do on our last day and figured we would stop. Happy we did... everything was neat, clean and well organized. They have multiple areas to explore... you could spend a full day here if you wanted to... they have a food court are and a place to eat inside. The aquarium is located to other attractions in the area. Be sure to check it out!

    One of the best aquariums i have ever been to. Much better than Dubai's Sydney's and many other places. This aquarium truly does justice to being the world's 4th largest aquarium. It houses plenty of species and that too in bulk. The sea lion and dolphin shows are the ones that can't be missed when you visit this aquarium. It has fish and water species from around the world. Recommend purchasing tickets online in advance before visiting. Parking and food facilities definitely need to be improved, esp on weekends and public holidays.

    We had the best experience. Thanks to other reviews we knew to go as soon as they opened and I'm glad we did. By 1pm it was impossible to walk around. The lines for food were very long after 11am. The gift shop staff was amazing and extremely friendly. Our daughter was picked to go on stage for the dolphin show and she will never forget it. Thank you for that beautiful memory! While the exhibits are amazing to see I feel the friendly staff made the experience even better.

    Amazing experience! So many good photo opportunities. I definitely recommend if you are visiting Atlanta. We walked through every exhibit and we were done within two hours. I would suggest purchasing tickets online before you go. So much fun!

    Flew here for a day trip date ✈️ from MD. Best aquarium I've ever been to, it's a must visit location! I highly recommend! I will definitely be visiting again. There is no way to describe how truly incredible it is to be face to face with whale sharks and belugas. They also have a Tiger shark! Amazing experience!

    Absolutely amazing, I spent the entire day here and went to all the shows. I can't recommend the ray experience enough. Everyone was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I could spend hours at the giant viewing walls. Come here, you won't regret it.

  • 5/5 Nettie D. 3 years ago on Google
    This was A.MA.ZING.!!! Definitely make sure you plan for at least 4 hrs if you want to see everything!! Well worth it! Make sure to get to the shark exhibit before it's gone and don't miss the super friendly lizard and the poison dart frogs upstairs in the Aquanauts exhibit. The penguins, puffins, and murres are very cool too.

  • 5/5 Ryan M. 3 years ago on Google
    The Georgia Aquarium was a great experience! My wife and I spent the entire day there and it was definitely worth it. Parking is actually quite convenient, although it was odd keeping the ticket with you instead of with the car. The walkway from the garage to the Aquarium is covered, which was an added bonus. All of the exhibits were amazing, and as you can expect, the whale shark exhibit was pretty awesome. Lunch at the cafe is expensive, but definitely worth the price due to its convenience. The 4D experience was pretty much a joke, so I wouldn't recommend wasting your time with that. All of the other exhibits were pretty great though. If we go back to Atlanta, we will definitely stop by again!

  • 5/5 Nathan S. 3 years ago on Google
    We love the GA Aquarium. With COVID they require reservations so we picked an early morning slot and there was very low crowd density. Attractions that have folks seated together for a long time are closed, sadly but appropriately, like the dolphin show, or areas that would be confined in small spaces like the penguin-viewing tunnel. Seating for food was in a huge ballroom so we were at least 30 feet from the nearest family eating. Other areas were blocked off to create social distancing for the touch tank and the big viewing window. The new shark exhibit was fairly bare bones but I think it had enough supplemental displays to inform but not so many that there were crowd congestion. The sharks are pretty sweet, too. This is the first time our 2.5-year old has been to the aquarium since she was a newborn and she absolutely loved it. Kept talking about the beluga whales for days. Be careful with masks, social distancing, and use the provided sanitizer stations and it seems like a low-risk family outing spot, especially if you go early before the crowds.

  • 5/5 Brooke A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 DaB1ackDud3 3 years ago on Google
    Smaller than I thought it'd be. No dolphins in the exhibit. Maybe that's a consequence of the dolphin shows, in which case my rating would still be 4/5. If you're visiting Atlanta, you have to visit the aquarium.

    Best Aquarium in the world. One of the people in my party has a service dog and they did not let her go in for some reason. She had it labeled as a service animal and had all of the paperwork also. Other than that, the aquarium was awesome with so many different fish and animals from many different depths of the sea.

  • 3/5 Elena A. 3 years ago on Google
    I would’ve probably given the aquarium a 5 star rating if I was given the opportunity to see the entire aquarium without being told it was closing time. They sold us tickets for 7pm, but never mentioned that the aquarium closed at 8pm!! One hour is not sufficient time to look around and admire, but they do exit you through the gift shop which remains open!(of course to make more $$ off you) Also, it’s highly priced! Paying almost $40 per person for less than an hour experience is nowhere near worth it!! Now, other than my complaint about the rate and time; the aquarium itself is very nice! The shark exhibit and the tunnel, are awesome. We didn’t have time to admire everything and missed even seeing other fish. Not sure if it was because of the time, but it appeared as if they had turned off the lights to certain exhibits making it hard to see . For our first time experience, coming from out of state, we were at first excited and amused but then that quickly turned into frustration and sadness!

    Not the biggest or the best aquarium you can visit but it was a fun time, can be quite crammed in the narrow walkways with everyone tring to see. The glass in most areas is quite dirty, not only does it make you wonder about the general hygiene but also makes taking pictures a pain. All in all for the money its not a bad time to spend an hour.

  • 5/5 Lewis W. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to see so many different kinds of fish and even a CROCODILE.

  • 5/5 Colin H. 3 years ago on Google
    Although rather expensive the unlimited day pass was a good idea. The children enjoyed it and the leather back turtle came around to see everyone on the surface after walking through the tunnel. Very good disability access to the aquarium but not from Newquay itself. Too many stairs to come up and down for the aquarium. Small coffee shop limited products but reasonable prices compared to venues directly outside. Kids spent 2 hours at location compared to others.

  • 1/5 diverdanclark 3 years ago on Google
    Over 3 hour queues as there are only Flexi-tickets available to buy. No pedestrian control and the email I received from Bluereef has told me that this is my own fault and I will not receive a refund. Don't visit if you are in Cornwall for your holidays as you will be wasting your time and money. No social distancing controls outside beyond the 1hr mark. I do recommend Newquay Zoo though as they have limited entry and specific arrival times. Well done to all involved with Newquay Zoo

    Very enjoyable. It's not very big (you could get through in c.30 minutes) but they had some lovely animals and creatures. They also had a feeding session at 14:30 but they feed the fish too far away from the spectators so you barely see anything.

  • 4/5 Steph O. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice little place, quite small for the price... Aquariums seem clean... Its nice that the turtle had somewhere nice and safe to live out the rest of his life after being injured in Greece (I did wonder why he kept swimming in circles and banging into things until I read all about him). It would be nice to see some of the sea life being fed or some of the staff around to do little talks (this is still possible during the current situation)... Quite pricey for what it is. We were in and out in 30mins.

  • 4/5 jo 3 years ago on Google
    Small place, but with lots to see. Staff friendly and helpful and with all day ticket you can come and go as you like. Octopus was beautiful, gliding over the dome and who knew there is a fish that is born with sight and evolves to being blind. Son would have liked a scarier, bigger shark, but they are beautiful. Plan where you will park and make the most of the area for a great visit.

We were a large party (6kids and 3 adults ) to save costs we took our own packed lunch and we were able to eat this in there cafe and just brought hot drinks and slushes for the kids. Well worth a visit and right on the beach the view are stunning.

    Very happy with Covid arrangements -easy to distance and sanitising stations throughout. Lovely aquarium. Just enough info to add interest and satisfy curiosity. Great range of different aquatic habitats and creatures and amazing central tank which you walk under, round and look into from above. Loads to see - apart from octopus and eels, which stayed hidden. Shop very reasonable. Very hard to park nearby. We didn't want to go into town as it was very crowded, so we could have ended up with a long walk. Managed to park on the street not too far away.

Actually really nice being able to take your time through the exhibits and see everything and not feel like you're being hearded through with the crowds. The dolphin show is the icing on the cake. Many may not know that this is included with your ticket, but you will still have to make a reservation after scanning the QR code. Very easy, and very much worth it!!!!

Es muy hermoso y los niños interesados en la naturaleza disfrutan un montón, lo recomiendo ampliamente. La actividad de l simulador es adicional al precio y no vale la pena pagarlo es obsoleto, marea y adicional a eso es atendido por una persona sin paciencia, cosa curiosa si trabaja con público, a excepción del resto de los que trabajan allí que son super amables

Online it says that you go in in 30 minutes lot but that's not true once you go in at the time you select it's not 30 minutes you pretty much stay in there until you see everything so it's kind of misleading when you order the tickets offline.

    My family and I definitely had a great time! Some of the animals were asleep, so I suggest going early in the mornings (we went around 3:30 in the afternoon). And may I also suggest paying the extra $5 to see the dolphin show... it was amazing.

  • 5/5 Seth M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice aquarium. Security at the moment is great for covid. They have an awesome ocean exhibit with the huge water tank with hundreds of fish including 2 giant manta rays and 2 whale sharks (the only two in american aquariums) They also have a nice 15 minute dolphin show. And a brand new shark exhibit. lots of sharks. Overall its a very family friendly aquarium to visit and would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 LaJuana W. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a fun place for all ages! Went with our daughter and her family. Everyone had a great time, and the two year old twins were fascinated with all the exhibits.

  • 4/5 demetrius R. 3 years ago on Google
    The best way to fully enjoy all the aquarium has to offer,check to see what live 3d shows and other activities they have goin on on the day you want to go because you will have to reserve a time but if u just want to check out the different exhibits,the sharks are the best to me but the full experience makes the price worth it

    We really love aquariums. My boyfriend and I have a specific love for reptiles and amphibians, as he breeds and sells geckos. This aquarium definitely has its perks, I especially loved the river and shark exhibits. I had never seen beluga whales before, and they seemed especially delightful. It is a little odd how this aquarium sets up their exhibits: they use a mini-looped and compartmentalized format that all come back to a massive atrium. I think I much prefer the other styles of just having one loop, like when one visits ikea and follows the path. I also must add, I respected the aquariums obvious COVID social-distancing efforts (constant 6ft distance signs, plexi glass attempts to separate people, constant overseers reminding patrons to social distance) however, patrons did NOT observe them well. Unfortunately, part of visiting aquariums is what I observe as somewhat entitled parents and their small children. During our visit there was very many children that were let loose by there parents, almost as if they were told the aquarium was their playground. It was very difficult to respect social distancing because of this. I wish parents would instruct their kids to respect individuals around them, because, i believe, aquariums are for more than just kids. This is obviously no fault of the Georgia Aquarium, but something to keep in mind when you plan a visit!

    Beautiful and I am so glad we planned two days there and the Older Kids got tired. So, I would recommend doing a portion with a few shows one day then the rest with a few shows the second day. The Hyatt Place which is right across the street is so convenient. We did the package deal for hotel and tickets.

    We went on a Saturday and even with restricted attendance it was still pretty crowded. Lots of kids as you might expect. We paid extra for the sea lion encounter and that was worth it, although I thought we would get to give one a fish and we only got to watch. Still we were in a small group and got to sit about 8 feet away with no other patrons in between. The sodas were $4. I didn't buy food but it looked OK for that type of food. Prepaid parking was a good deal. For $15 we buzzed right out without dealing with a kiosk that had a line. First time I have gone to a land locked aquarium. It is weird.....but beautiful exhibits and worth the trip.

  • 5/5 Nichole A. 3 years ago on Google
    The new shark exhibit was awesome. Very good at reminding people to keep their masks on and to maintain social distancing. The Dolphin Show was still great to see. Seating is limited but again due to COVID measures. There were a few activities that were not available but it did not make the experience feel any less amazing.

  • 5/5 Ari D. 3 years ago on Google
    10/10. I love aquariums! They a great way to social distance and for families to social distance while looking at the exhibits. If you’re in town please visit. They have some areas that are really kid friendly.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth R. 3 years ago on Google
    We always have a great time at the aquarium. This time we went to celebrate my husband's birthday and check out the new Shark Exhibit. Everyone was very friendly and wished my husband Happy Birthday. The shark exhibit wasn't as big as U thought it would be but my husband, who is a shark fanatic, was thrilled with the fact that he got a to see a hammerhead so close. We both had a great time!

  • 4/5 Donna K S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place to visit! Very nice exhibits and layout. Lots of things to do to keep you busy. Added the behind the seas pass. You go to the top of three of the tanks. Was worth it as the guide is very knowledgeable and we were lucky to see some of the trainers in action.

    This aquarium is my absolute favorite. The exhibits are breathtaking. It feels like you are surrounded my the ocean itself, especially in the whale shark exhibit. I can sit here for hours! The shark exhibit is a welcome addition and again full immersion. I highly recommend. If you are doing the city pass, for sure don't miss this opportunity.

  • 5/5 Craig S. 3 years ago on Google
    Going at first open made for a quiet and soft experience. The staggard entering times helped with crowd control and allowed for unhindered viewing. The dolphin show was pleasant and the shark exhibit thrilling. It was a good idea for a trip out with small children.

    A huge aquarium with so many attractions that I have never seen anywhere else! I loved the whale sharks and beluga whales!! We will definitely be back in the future. Also, they take the COVID-19 social distancing and mask wearing very seriously, which my husband and I appreciated. It's nice to be able to see/do something during the virus without feeling as if you are having to compromise safety!

    Loved it! Could easily spend the whole day here! My only advice, book the dolphin show and the 4d theater as soon as you book your tickets, because they do fill up. Oh and when they tell you dolphins splash the first 10 rows, people can get soaked! They are taking covid measures really well, distancing and cleaning everything. Will definitely go back! I want to do the seal experience, but that is added cost.

    Was not able to see the aquarium. Buying tickets the day of doesn't work - even on a Sunday. They are only letting people enter in intervals. So you may have to wait a few hours. We had a flight and needed to leave before we could have entered. So we got a refund for the tickets but they still charged us for parking - even though we were only there for about 20 minutes. Did not see ticket time restrictions until we were walking in to the entrance. Not sure if it was somewhere else.

    Lots of people but most of the staff were great! Several staff members were cleaning rails and hand-touched surfaces constantly, EXCEPT for the tables in the Cafe area. We ended up covering the table with napkins as we couldn't find anyone to clean it. Cafe staff was less than concerned. Staggered entry times meant the wait at the gate wasn't long at all, BUT we waited almost 20 minutes for an elevator from the parking lot. There should be a way for disabled persons to have elevator priority when no more than one family can enter an elevator. Next time we'll try to call for a shuttle. Overall they did a great job trying to accommodate for these crazy COVID times we're living in! Exhibits were beautifully designed and well-staffed. Will visit again!

    We love this aquarium. We have made 4 or 5 visits to this aquarium and have never had a bad one. Each time, we saw and enjoyed things that we did not get to before! Every visit holds new memories. It is personally my favorite aquarium that I have ever been to. I love that they offer dinning options on site, because we easily spend an entire day each time we visit. I was sad to see that they changed the original height requirement to the shark cage swimming to an age requirement, but I do understand.

I was nervous to go during COVID but they are doing an amazing job of limiting the number of visitors allowed, ensuring mask wearing, and ensuring social distancing. Sadly, but understandably, all the touch pools were closed. I would highly recommend going to the aquarium while their COVID safety practices are in place because you can get even closer to all the animals!

I only went again this time because they added the sharks exhibit which was so awesome. The way they are handling social distancing and hand sanitizer stations set up at every station is perfect. To make it easier on the public too keep it from being so crowded. You will have to schedule a time to go. I love it 😁

  • 5/5 Justin O. 3 years ago on Google
    The aquarium is always a great place. I had a membership for a year or two a few years back. Great for the whole family or just a nice place to go and think by yourself.

    I went on 2/06/21 after spending over $200 on tickets. I was under the impression that we could only reserve dolphin tickets once we arrived. When we got there all the dolphin show tickets were sold out until 5 hours later. They should have had it where you can reserve seats prior to your arrival without having to pay additional for something that’s normally included already. Social distancing was not a thing, the lines were still completely long regardless of the timed tickets and the amount of people that were allowed in the building is ridiculous.

  • 5/5 KaTeara W. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely stunning life changing experience I reccomend everyone does at least once in their life! Very handicap friendly and elder friendly. When taking my 70 year old grandmother there today I noticed all the benches that made her trip there easier on her to take breaks at her liberty since there was a place to sit in literally every exhibit. The staff are all SO well informed and answer all questions you have. I love going and will continue to do so over the years. Very worth the price of a ticket. And the gift shop plushies are reasonably priced! Conservation is a big deal to them and it shows how passionate they are about informing the public about our beautiful oceans and how important it is to preserve them!

    No social distancing. Overcrowded. Not everyone is wearing a mask. Ppl bumping into others kids running wild. I literally walked in and straight to the exit. Definitely not worth getting sick. I was told I couldn't get a refund because I entered the building. someone coughed and sneezed without a mask on. I definitely rate this place unsafe for covid.

  • 4/5 Shawna W. 3 years ago on Google
    Firstly, they did a great job with the plan of setting times for visiting and taking temps, along with reminding people to make sure there masks were pulled up. Sadly, it's impossible to control a large groups of people so maintaining 6ft apart was difficult at times. That side, our day there was wonderful. The tanks are mind blowing and leave you in awe. So cool to hear all the kids in awe too. I highly recommend, so glad we went.

  • 4/5 Finest M. 3 years ago on Google
    This aquarium is huge! I flew all the way from New York just to visit for my birthday. The only reason why the four stars was I purchased tickets for 11AM. I arrived 10:51 (they say to arrive at your time) and when we got there we had to wait in the rain because they were still accepting tickets from 10:30 am. Anyway, I strongly suggest always purchasing your ticket at least a couple of days beforehand as today the tickets were sold out for all times. I spent five hours in the aquarium. They had dolphins, crocs, jelly fish, stings rays, whale sharks, beluga whales, star fish. Amazing. Their gift shops have amazing things ! They take a picture of you when you enter the aquarium ($25 for one to be printed out) Food: they had some food options, a little expensive but glad they offered it. I wish they would have like security or something to make sure people are doing social distancing because when I was in the line I couldn’t even bend down to tie my shoe because of how close the people behind me were. No personal space as you can see in the pics I’ll be posting. Overall I must say that this aquarium is definitely worth the visit. The only place I’ve ever seen a whale shark.

The gift shop was by far one of the best gift shops I've seen in an Aquarium! Great experience, professional staff, clean facility and precautions are taken.

  • 3/5 Cole D. 3 years ago on Google
    We have been to very few places other than dining since COVID and this was our first true outing in almost a year. We chose the aquarium because of the precautions and covid guidelines posted on their website. We felt good about having a time slot and the limited crowd. We have been several times before covid and there was half the amount of people that was there today. No social distancing at all, people right on top of us everywhere and people would not share or move along in the exhibits. I hate to leave a review this low for such a beautiful place, but our family takes this virus very serious and would have gladly waited if we wouldn’t have felt safe by all the precautions posted on the website. If you’re looking for a socially distanced outing this is not the place to go.

    Had a fantastic time drove from Florida. The only down side was when we arrived we took a group photo and when we came to the end of our stay we went to the gift shop to purchase our photo and they were in able to find it. They offered to retake the photo but our children were tired and cranky and wouldn't take another photo. So we ended up leaving without a family photo from our fantastic day there.

    My boyfriend surprised me with tickets for Valentine’s Day. We had an amazing time going through and looking at all of the animals in each exhibit within the aquarium. The Georgia Aquarium is perfect for any age and occasion. I’m sure we’ll be back again for another visit in the future.

  • 3/5 Waferz 3 years ago on Google
    The views and experiences were great for the family. Really top notch exhibits. The people running the security section are questionable. I had to give my pocket knife (of significant value) to them to hold until leaving. Upon leaving time, they could not find my item. It took about 30 minutes and a slight change in my attitude for someone to finally locate my knife. The person who found it came from a room that was not the file bin of held items. It was left to my imagination of how my knife was removed from the file bin and ended up in that room. Make sure that leave valuable items home. We are from out of state and were unaware of these restrictions.

    Best aquarium I've ever been to! Brought my kids ages 21 & 20. It was a wonderful experience! The shark tank was out of this world!! The colors of all the different types of fish were amazing! You can also book tours for behind the scenes. They book up pretty fast. You need to buy tickets in advance. There normally is not a line but it was pretty crowded when went inside. Lots of hand sanitizer everywhere and they ask you to keep your mask on at all times. There are also plastic dividers to help with social distancing. I highly recommend Georgia Aquarium for everyone of all ages!!

    Pretty cool place. Very well maintained. Make sure to reach early and book the dolphin show as they fill up quickly

  • 5/5 Mr S. 3 years ago on Google
    Made reservations online due to the covid-19 social distancing. It actually made going better since it's less crowded and easier to take time seeing everything. Dolphin show was good. Overall great time and no problems with the social distancing. The Georgia Aquarium has everything running smoothly.

  • 3/5 Liz n. 3 years ago on Google
    Too corporate and too crowded

  • 4/5 Shana C. 3 years ago on Google
    Love it here and have been a member for years. The new shark exhibit is nothing short of breathtaking. It's beautifully designed so that you can watch these magnificent creatures from a variety of angles. I'm docking one star for now, however, because when my daughter and I visited midday on a weekday, it was legitimately crowded and we saw zero enforcement of social distancing and mask-wearing. Most people were attempting to comply with the six-feet rule, but narrow exhibit hallways make that all but impossible. We also saw plenty of unmasked young children running around, shouting, crying, etc., as well as teens and young adults pulling down masks to talk or take pictures. This may be fine for an outdoor venue, or even for the aquarium on a less busy day, but it felt unsafe with so many people around. We were uncomfortable enough that we left after just half an hour. We will plan to return once the initial excitement over the shark exhibit has died down a bit, or at least until we can time our visit for the early morning hours.

    The best aquarium I have ever been to! Make sure you sign up for the dolphin show and 4D movie as soon as you arrive! (Look for the bar code to scan) Dont forget to pet the stingrays. The giant spider crabs and the whale shark were a couple favorites. You can spend a couple hours here and then walk around the area outside for a bit.

  • 3/5 vr423 3 years ago on Google
    Place is huge but alot of wasted space that could be used for expanded exhibits. Layouts confusing and difficult to navigate. Best part was the tunnel under the whale shark exhibit. Couldnt see dolphins cause its reservation only which nobody told us. I thought boston aquarium is better. Staff was very polite and helpful

  • 5/5 Francis P. 3 years ago on Google
    I don't support any place that use animal for entertainment. But, this one is the exception, because the animals there were rescued. Apparently, this place give health and care to animals who were injured.

  • 4/5 NaKeisha R. 3 years ago on Google
    I really enjoyed it and so did my infant daughter. Folks say don't take your kid until they're between 1-3 years old for memory reasons but she looked at everything and this is the place you can take them continuously that's not expensive. One thing I do recommend is the dolphins do more jumps. It was boring with all the explaining and I can't honestly tell you anything I remember about them... To be honest we just want to see them perform. MAKE THEM JUMP UP, DO FLIPS AND REACH UP FOR STUFF MORE especially with the short attention span of those kids in the audience.

    Having to see sea life "caged up" was tough for me, but knowing this aquarium tries to release some back into the wild was a bit of a relief. The exhibits were nice, I loved seeing the beluga and sperm whales, the otters, and the octopus. The manta ray was huge!

    The aquarium is always great for families, but The shark exhibit is worth going all by itself. It is spectacular. I mean, seriously amazing! The “big” tank with the scuba divers swimming with the whale sharks, turtles and everything in between is always a hit. The food court has protocols in place for COVID, and although it was packed and super busy, I never felt unsafe or exposed in any way. They are doing a great job at distancing tables and chairs and sanitizing when people leave their areas. We usually run right through the gift shop and never buy anything but this time we bought two big stuffed animals, some candy and a couple random gadgets. I was totally surprised that all of that was only $40. Usually gift shops are the biggest rip off, and this wasn’t at all. It’s easy to park and get in and out and can easily be a whole day trip or just to kill a couple hours.

    Loved the Aquarium! We thought since we had an assigned time that it would be safer to go specifically on a week day but that was not true. Social distance and masks were required but too many ignored the distancing and forgot how to wear their masks once in the door. It was way over crowded so didn't spend much time there.

    An incredable aquarium. The size of the place is very impressive and the tanks are huge. Well set out and easy to get around. Can be overcrowded (although not right now with the Covid restrictions in place), especially on weekends and holidays. Currently they have instigated a timed entry to reduce the number of people in the building, which actually makes it far better as you are not bustling for viewing spots.

    Busier than I expected. Masks were mandated and enforced. Social distancing is created with the help of plexiglass divisions at certain displays. Food is overpriced and blah. Many shows were sold out bc of how crowded and busy it was. Attendants who man the stations with props and microphones were knowledgeable but one could barely hear. This was my 3rd time here.. Probably last time too. Although beautiful it's nothing new with each subsequent visit.

    The experience of visiting THE largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere is unforgettable and full of fascination. The Dolphin show is exceptional and needs a reservation. You can reserve a spot for free on the same day at the facility; I’d suggest asking a staff member for it at the earliest if required. All seven galleries feature a spectrum of species like Whale sharks, Manta Rays, Sea lions, African penguins, Beluga whales, Sharks, Seals, to name a few from across the world! The cafeteria has great choice of food. The aquarium is also vigorously involved in the conservation and research of aquatic life. It’s indeed worth the visit for all ages!

    I like to think of myself as a fish fanatic and this is my happy place. Honestly one of the best if not the best aquarium I have been too. It is really well laid out. The star of the show is the Ocean Voyager exhibit with the whale sharks. That alone is worth the trip. My personal favorite was the pacific octopus how was out front and center and cleaning its tentacles. Several things were closed due to COVID and social distancing was fully respected at the more popular exhibits but the aquarium does a good job of putting up barriers.

As a reef hobbyists, I wish there where more corals and such but not everyone is into that aspect and I can respect the fact that it takes so much time and effort into keeping the amount of tanks and other livestock that its just not in the cards, yet! Always a great time had by all there. Wish the food was a little cheaper but it costs alot to feed all those animals so I get it. Will come back 1000 times

    A mid sized aquarium hosting fresh-water fish (as much as I can figure) in around 10-15 tanks. There are various local and foreign species on display. Friendly staff. Family ticket is 120 kn, so ok price. A child playground is on site as well as a nearby walk along the river bank. Plenty of parking space.

    Volim to mjesto. Nenametljivo je uklopljeno u okoliš. Navodi te da ga otkrivaš i uživaš. Grad sa četiri rijeke najbolje je mjesto za takav muzej slatkivodnih riba, koje su žive, zadivljujuće. Autentično predstavljaju raznolikost ihtiofaune naših rijeka.

    (Translated by Google) The lighting of the aquarium is very poor, the info tiles next to each aquarium are not legible because there are no lights and they are poorly made. The fish drawn on the info tiles are not recognizable because the photos are in black and white and on a black background. And in the end the price is too high for what is provided. (Original) Osvjetljenje akvarija vrlo loše, info pločice uz svaki akvarij ne čitljive jer nema svijetla i loše izrađene.

    (Translated by Google) With great desire and anticipation, I welcomed the trip to your pools with fish ... Unfortunately, an unpleasant surprise greeted me at the entrance, and it's about the price of the ticket..the tour itself is very short and I think it's not worth the paid tickets. put on that xi smile. I have read your answers to the reviews and I do not agree with you about the price you justify by maintaining it. The Zagreb ZOO is twice cheaper, and I watch animals from Africa and Australia, not from a nearby river or lake. I believe that maintaining and feeding animals is equally demanding, if not more demanding, for them. (Original) S velikom željom i isčekivanjem sam docekao odlazak do vasih bazena s ribama...Nažalost neugodno iznenađenje me dočekalo na samom ulazu, a rijec je o cijeni karte..sami obilazak traje vrlo kratko i smatram da ne vrijedi placene ulaznice.osoblje bi svakako moglo nabaciti koji x i osmijeh. procitao sam vase odgovore na recenzije i ne slažem se s vama oko cijene koju opravdavate odrzavanjem..Zagrebački ZOO je duplo jeftiniji, a gledam životinje iz Afrike i Australije, a ne iz obližnje rijeke ili jezera. Vjerujem da je njima jednako zahtjevno odrzavanje i hranjenje životinja ako ne i zahtjevnije.predlažem vam da se pozabavite marketingom, spustanjem cijene van turisticke sezone i dodatnim sadrzajem.

  • 5/5 Sammy K. 3 years ago on Google
    Listen, I would die for this place in a heartbeat if they needed a human sacrifice so I may be biased. GA aquarium is a heaven on earth for me and their new shark exhibit is to die for. All the additional programs are so worth the hefty price tag. I've had the opportunity to snorkel in the whale shark tank and pet the zebra sharks/sting rays and lemme tell you, it is magical. The staff are all marine dorks so conversing with them is the best. With covid restraints it's honestly been better in my opinion because you can only enter if you buy tickets online which means there's less of a crowd so more room to view the animals. If you've never been or are visiting GA for the first time, you h a v e to come here. It's worth the money

    If you are worried about social distancing, don’t go. They have all the requisite markings and barriers but nobody really follows them. Elevator says two people or one family and we probably had 12 in ours. If you are not worried about that the rest of the visit was great. Exhibits are mesmerizing.

    I was a little disappointed in the cost to get in and park. Unless you are under 2 it is the same as an adult and no outside food. Dolphin show was 15 minutes long. Our total for the day was $168.60 for 2 adults and 2 children 5 and 7 years old. This did not include food. Then while you are buying tickets they ask if you would like to make a donation. Holy cow WHY? We could have gone to Great Wolf Lodge cheaper and I will next time.

    This is a must visit if you are in Atlanta. I spent the whole day here and it was an amazing experience. Do all the shows! they come with your ticket!!! I Highly recommend doing the "Behind the Seas Tour" It's only an additional $15 per ticket, it's very much worth the price. The tour is very informative and filled with a lot of amazing behind the scenes stuff.

  • 4/5 Pamela A. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Patricia W. 2 years ago on Google
    We enjoyed every minute! not our first time there but we had never been upstairs to see the alligators, frogs etc and exhibits on how animals adapt to climate extremes. We could also peek through the door windows and see the top part of the big tank-could see the shark fins cutting through the water! Very cool! How did we miss that before?

  • 5/5 Rachael g. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing aquarium! Completely indoor experience which was great on this rainy day! Pay for parking ahead of time to avoid the headache. They did an awesome job keeping it covid safe - mask wear is required and sanitizer stations are everywhere! They are even breaking up groups by time slots so it never felt super crowded even on a Saturday morning.

  • 5/5 Julie A. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience for families, couples, and travelers!! Definitely a must see if you're from out of town. I took my 2 year old here for labor day weekend and we had a blast!! If you have children under 3 or 4, I suggest you bring a stroller (a compact one is ideal) because you will be doing a lot of walking and it's crowded, so it's easy to get split up from your group. With your general admission, you have access to some of the shows, but you can't reserve a seat for the shows until you arrive. If this is something you're interested in, I suggest arriving an hour before your scheduled time and reserve them as soon as you arrive because they fill up quick. Parking is a little daunting but not too difficult. (Arriving early will make it less stressful to find parking) the parking deck was very busy when we arrived, and took us 15-20 minutes to find a spot. The parking deck for the aquarium is reasonably priced, especially in comparison to other parking nearby. So it's worth the wait. It is getting busy again after covid, so just keep that in mind if you are high risk. I recommend purchasing your tickets online. But the meal vouchers on the website are sort of a rip off. $15 per plate and you can only choose between pizza, chicken tenders, and a burger. But other meals were $12 or less. I suggest you just purchase food in the Cafe when you get hungry. Don't forget to take loads of pictures!

  • 5/5 Nathan C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 jill a. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is so big and amazing. Price was only about $40 per person but included dolphin show, otter show and 2 4D shows. You have to register for the shows so do it as early as you can so you don't miss them. There are several different walk through areas for different themed tanks, place to get food and drinks and 2 gift shops that I saw. A really nice employee offered us a little peek above the 6.3 million gallon tank which was a whole new perspective. We went on a Saturday afternoon, not too crowded, lines moved pretty quickly. Purchase tickets online in advance and save the wait. This place is a must do if you have the time

  • 5/5 Martha G. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful aquarium. Plenty to see, huge tanks with plenty of viewing space to spread out. The shark tank is amazing, the whale sharks and rays are huge! Bathrooms are clean, food court is ample. Tickets are around $40 per adult without discount and parking in their garage was $17. Coca-Cola world and the Olympics park are right outside. Ferris wheel is walking distance.

  • 5/5 Yogesh D. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best aquarium. Tickets included shows. Dolphin , sea lions and 4D shows are recommended. You can spend 4-5 hours easily to see .world of Coca-Cola is just walking. Parking is $12 & food prices are higher. Kids can enjoy here.

  • 5/5 Jennifer J. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommend this aquarium! We went here a few years ago around Christmas and they had a Santa scuba diver in the tanks feeding the fish! It’s a nice layout so you can go to any area at your convenience instead of it being a one way path like most aquariums. Would also recommend doing the Behind the Seas tour! The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly! Had a great time, and so did the elves hahaha.

  • 5/5 Nick B. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful place. Many fishes and ocean animals from all the parts of our world. Many signed with information around so you will not leave without piece of knowledge on something new.

A place that is a perfect on to spend time for the whole family.

  • 4/5 Abi M. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of fun and cool things to see. However, the dive part is sorely lacking in coordination with those that work on the ground level. No one seemed to know when or where the divers were getting into the water or which direction they'd be coming from. Definitely room for improvement! Everything else (especially the Dolphin Show) was fantastic.

  • 5/5 Lucas D. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing experience. Went during the week so it wasn't to busy. Worth the money for sure. The shark exhibit was very cool. Also seeing the whale sharks they had was awesome. Had a huge viewing room for the whale sharks. I would def visit if you are in Atlanta for the day

    This is our favorite aquarium and our favorite place to visit in Atlanta. The exhibits are all huge and very nicely done. We love the shark exhibit and the Beluga whale exhibit best. Food at the cafe is on the pricey side, as expected, but the food (hot dogs & chicken tenders) was good.

    We had a blast! I could have sat in front of the tanks all day! Our twins are almost 2 and they had fun, we heard "whoa" a lot. My Husband wanted to watch the sealion show, but we were a second too late 😔 we did make reservations for the Dolphin show which we all really enjoyed! 🐬🦭🐟🐠🐡🦈🐙

  • 5/5 Lea J. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the top aquariums I’ve been to in the country. The dolphin show is great, they have some new exhibits opening and baby’s on the way. Can’t wait for my next trip, it’s a must see if you’re in the area. It’s also conveniently located near other attractions for a full day of Atlanta adventures. You have to book dolphin experiences over a week in advance, don’t plan on them having any openings if you haven’t booked ahead of time.

  • 5/5 Andrew R. 2 years ago on Google
    I have visited a number of Aquariums including the one in Chicago and at Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. This place was the best of them all! The views here are incredible. From the many sharks in the Predator exhibit, to the whale shark and Manta Ray's in the Ocean View. The place was clean and offered Sensory Session in the morning for those needing dim lights or a quiet space. The Sea Lion Show and Dolphin show are fairly quick shows and a lot of fun to see. Make sure you make your free reservations when you get there. Food is pricey. Lines were very minimal at 900am on a Monday.

  • 5/5 Jonathan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best aquarium I've ever been to. Better than the 2 Ripley's in TN for sure. The beluga whales are so awesome and super playful and fun to watch. The massive tank where they have whale sharks and manta rays is just nuts. The Manta Rays are absolutely huge! If you're in Atlanta or looking for a place to take the kids on a family trip try this place out.

    The aquarium is beautiful. You can see it all in a couple of hours, but it's better if you slow down a bit. They do need to work on better handicap accessible stall and the soap dispenser are hard to reach from a wheelchair.

  • 5/5 Tiffany G. 2 years ago on Google
    The GA Aquarium never fails to be a great time. The tickets are timed to allow staggered entry of visitors and the result was a venue that was approximately 40% less crowded than usual, which was WONDERFUL. No jockeying for space on various lines to see the creatures, no confusion at the Cafe at lunchtime. My only issue was during the dolphin and sea otter shows, when folks are crammed elbow-to-elbow in the audience 😒😷😒, which is a big no-no in this post-Covid society. Otherwise, a marvelous time.

It feels like a mall, and exhibits start and end at the same spot usually, avoiding the vast distances of most museums. The price is under $40 for what can easily be an entire day's experience. So you'll need to use the cafe, which is expensive but good. Tip: Go upstairs and eat in the ball room. The animals are amazing; and make every show offered because they're fun, even if short. The staff knew their stuff and were very accommodating. Facilities were nice, clean, and quickly found. They do a great job on accessibility for the disabled, too. Georgia Aquarium must be a priority on your visit to Atlanta.

    Absolutely unique and thrilling experience. If you’re really into aquatic life, this will bring out the child in you for a couple hours. A solid tour takes about 3-4 hrs. Make sure you check out the dolphin show timings and try to make it!

    We had our daughter's birthday party here, and the staff were all great to with which to work. From the people in the sales department, to the people in guest programs, the ones who took the time to escort us around, and those that assisted us in the parking department, I can honestly say that everyone was top notch. My daughter and her guests enjoyed every part of exploring the aquarium, and the shows were very enjoyable. Our family will definitely be back again. Next we look forward to participating in one of the overnight adventures. I highly recommend holding your events at the Georgia Aquarium or just visiting the aquarium for an engaging day among our ocean friends.

    One of my favorite Aquarium; it wasn’t crowded and loved go everything is separated into different sections. There is a parking lot and you can prepay for parking. Kids will love this aquarium

  • 5/5 Tina May G. 2 years ago on Google
    Perfect for kids and adults. If visiting Georgia you have to experience the aquarium. Our favorite exhibit is dolphin coast where you can see a live show. Even the cafe has pretty good bites for a quick lunch. The open outdoor area is a plus for small kids to run & play as well. Also, all of the aquarium itself is indoors so rain or shine you’re covered in the air conditioned space.

    Best aquarium I’ve been to! Employees were great. I did the swim with whale sharks experience and it was hands down the best thing I’ve done! Staff was AMAZING for that experience and I highly recommend taking advantage of the extra experiences that you can sign up for via their website. Cannot say enough positive things!

  • 4/5 Fermin Christopher H. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place! Lots to see plus it's educational. The displays are amazing and most of the animals are easy to see and observe. Recommend going later in the afternoon when there are less people.

  • 5/5 Miriam B. 2 years ago on Google
    I love the Georgia Aquarium. We had a great day out, and learned a lot about the animals and conservation too. It was very busy, being Thanksgiving week, but despite that it was fairly easy to maintain social distance and still get a good look at everything. I worry about the belugas - I am not an animal expert, it just seems like they would be happier in a larger space. In every other exhibit the animals had plenty of room to swim, and every animal (including the Belugas) seemed happy and well-cared for, and it is obvious the handlers love their charges and make sure they have plenty of enrichment to keep their days interesting (and keep us entertained and educated as well!).

  • 4/5 Jay F. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Aquarium. I just cringe to see animals in captivity though. But for it's purposes it is a great place to visit. The Dolphin show was nice. Make sure you get there before the time. They close the doors exactly when your reservation says. That's for all of the shows.

  • 5/5 Jody R. 2 years ago on Google
    It's an amazing aquarium with a solid theme park design. I'd wanted to go for quite some time and I'm glad I finally made it. The Dolphin show is great as well and they are not kidding about the 'splash zone'. You will get wet, they'll make sure of that!

  • 5/5 Carole W. 2 years ago on Google
    Had my 1st visit to the aquarium. It was fun and not too crowded, probably because you have to sign up for a time window beforehand online. We spent about 3 plus hours visiting all the areas and including stopping for a late lunch. Food was overpriced and not amazing, what you would usually expect basically. Most the habitats were not smelly and seems clean. We missed out on seeing the dolphins as you can only see them during times shows and we didn't catch a showing of the 4d movie. It would be handy if when you came in there were staff explaining things like this, as well as that there was a map online/on app... we found out from a TV in a rest area, but by them had figured our way through more than 1/2 the place. We visited for my birthday so I was free (get free ticket online) and it was very enjoyable but a lot of walking. It's definitely worth the experience but not visiting over and over or anything.

  • 5/5 M R (. 2 years ago on Google
    My kids love coming here. It has so much to see and they built it with a lot of intricacy. Sad part is that a lot of the activities are closed still due to COVID, but the dolphin show was fantastic!

  • 5/5 Justin G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is our favorite aquarium! Hands down one of the best out there, every time we visit we see something new. This time of year they have Christmas trees in the main area and it really brings on the holiday spirit! Excellent experience! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  • 4/5 Yuliant S. 2 years ago on Google
    The aquarium is a really nice place and definitely a must see if visiting Atlanta for the first time. That being said, after reading a lot about the aquarium and the fact that it is one of the biggest in the world, if not the biggest, I was expecting that wow element that I never had. Yes, it is big and yes it has really nice sea creatures but with the exception of the whale shark you will find most of them in any aquarium here in the US. The last recommendation is to book your complimentary visits (included with the ticket purchase) as soon as you get into the aquarium because those attractions tend to fill out very quickly.

  • 5/5 Aisha L. 2 years ago on Google
    I had the time of my life! Took my son for the 1st time for his birthday. I think I had more fun than him lol. There is a lot to see so be prepared to spend a few hours and enjoy yourself. The food wasn't bad and not as expensive as I had anticipated but the drinks were if you wasn't getting a soft drink. I hope this helps. I will definitely be visiting again! It's so peaceful for me to be around water. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Michelle Doyer (. 2 years ago on Google
    So much fun! I loved every moment of it! The behind the scenes tour was worth every penny! It was magical. The shark tank is incredible! And who doesn't love Beluga whales! A Pisces dream come true!

  • 5/5 Sreehari Kottoor M. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to visit with kids. They do have some attractions which we really don't see somewhere else like beluga whale and whale shark. It's so close to World of Cococola so it's better to plan your visit together and the parking is common, so you could save some money too ;)

  • 5/5 Kushal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place. Paradise for fish and sea world enthusiasts. Been here couple of times and loved it both times. Will visit again. Under $40 per person for general admission. Dolphin show was out of this world. Kudos to the trainers. Pro tip- make reservations for the dolphin show before hand (online or call). Also, you can pay for parking while booking online, $11 bucks for all day. If you can, try not to park all the way to 6th floor, it takes quite a bit if time to get out of the parking deck. The sharks, shark whales, Beluga whales are must watch. My faves were the tetras from the Amazon/River coast as I was able to relate to my fishes.

  • 5/5 Raff A. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful Experience. My friends and I enjoyed our visit here. The exhibits/encounters were very educational and entertaining. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. The facility was well lit and spacious and counts with concessions and souvenir shops. If you want to see many marine species of fish, including sharks, seals and other mammals this is the place to visit. My favorite part of this experience was the Beluga Whales, they are mesmerizing. I recommend this place 100%.

  • 5/5 Alyssa B. 2 years ago on Google
    The Georgia Aquarium was absolutely beautiful. The staff was amazing and you can really see just how much they love their jobs. My boyfriend did the Behind The Scenes tour which was amazing. Our tour guide, Emily, went above and beyond to make our tour a memorable one. I loved my experience here, especially seeing the beluga whales. This memory will sure last a lifetime

  • 5/5 Jarod S. 2 years ago on Google
    Spent the day at the Georgia Aquarium the other day and it was a blast! So cool to see so many fascinating underwater critters in one location. They did a fabulous job with this place. And the dolphin show was so cool! Absolutely recommend visiting, and take your time going through it. We spent about three hours there and never got bored. Wish they had more sharks, but it was so neat getting to see what they did have. A couple of additional options the offer, which were did not get to do this time but will certainly go back for, it’s a cage dive in the shark exhibit and a deep water dive in the ocean exhibit. The ocean exhibit dive is only offered for those who are SCUBA certified, so if that interests you, see your local PADI instructor!

  • 5/5 Charles C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience filled with new additions that I hadn't previously seen in the years since I last went. The addition of the sharks will definitely spice up the trip. Great scenery for kids and is a trip to be shared with family. Would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 crzapy B. 2 years ago on Google
    I was very excited to go here and it didn't disappoint. The whale sharks alone make the experience worthwhile. Add to it the other exhibits like the reefs, the rivers, and the swamp. Then there are the shows like the spectacular dolphins and hilarious sea lions.

  • 5/5 Delbert Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing aquarium with a very wide variety of species displayed in many different tanks and environments. The more time you have to spend the better as there is a lot to go through. The dolphin show was closed for cleaning so I didn't get to see that but the rest of it was awesome!

  • 5/5 Christine C. 2 years ago on Google
    What a great day. Loved everything. Never saw a manta ray so large. Loved all the over head tanks. So cool. Loved the dolphins but wish we were allowed pictures. Have to keep the dolphins safe so we did not cheat and try and get a pic lol

  • 5/5 Christine K. 2 years ago on Google
    My family loved this aquarium! So modern and high tech with screens showing info on the tanks. Wonderful engineering with the tanks as there are several very large ones that even go above you in some areas. Predators of the Deep was very cool and love how the shows are all included. Can't wait until my kids are old enough to do the dive with the whale sharks! They also offer family overnights here! Only thing is lunch time is havoc so they should find a way to expand seating at least during prime lunch time.

  • 5/5 Emily M. 2 years ago on Google
    A great day out for families. Definitely recommend this place, there is so much to see and do and everything is really well organised. You MUST MUST MUST see the dolphin show as it is the best part of the day. You have to book a time slot and it is really popular so I would suggest sorting this out at the very start of your visit. We spent about 3 hours there and it was great

  • 5/5 Elisa P. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a plane get diverted to Atlanta so we were stuck here for a couple of days. Honestly felt like it was fate because I would have never visited this aquarium if not for it. It was truly an amazing way to spend the day. The exhibits we're all beautiful and engaging, and there is a lot to learn and look at. The cafe in the center had some cocktails that were delicious (and strong, thanks for not holding out 👍). The Georgia Aquarium helped make a stressful situation into an enjoyable experience!

  • 5/5 Marcus C. 2 years ago on Google
    Honestly, this was the one of the most excellent and memorable of locations while visiting Atlanta. It has a very fresh, modern take on museums, guiding you on a very experientially driven look through aquatic life. The different exhibits are divided by a unifying theme like location or type of sea life, but you're encouraged to look up, down and all around to see happenings in many of the exhibits. The Ocean Voyager is particularly alluring (and is huge), while the Sharks exhibit is a stark difference from many of others, but educational nonetheless. Highly, highly recommended for anyone who likes sea life, animal life, exhibitions or nature-based experiences or annoying who enjoys going to aquariums and zoos. It's great fun, and very family friendly, but also not so childish that adults or teenagers would not enjoy. Go during the week to avoid crushing lines and crowds if you're not from Atlanta. Especially in the mid-afternoon.

  • 5/5 Dana C. 1 year ago on Google
    Wonderful aquarium! It’s big enough for a family to spend a day. Make sure that you scan the QR code right when you enter to get a spot at the dolphin show. There was plea to yo be enjoyed my small children and adults. We loved the shark area. The octopus show was nice too.

  • 5/5 Steven M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing all indoor aquarium! We enjoyed looking at River animals, sea animals, attic animals and two amazing shows(dolphins and sea lions). This place has several galleries to tour, a food court and several shows to choose from. Make sure you get to the shows 20-30 minutes early to get a good seat. We were able to complete the major galleries and two shows with 18 people in about 3.5 hours. Overall, great experience!

  • 5/5 Alexius K. 1 year ago on Google
    We spent a great time here! Some fish I have never seen in my life. You can spend whole day here and it will be not boring. Very interesting performance with sea lions 🦭 and dolphins 🐬. There is a huge aquarium with different kinds of fish. Especially surprised the big ones. You will get a lot of information about sea life. There is a place for eating, restrooms, parking lot. People can use wheelchair and baby carriage here.

  • 4/5 Dee C. 9 months ago on Google
    Went on a weekend. Our just happened to be Fathers Day and Juneteenth celebration. We stayed in a hotel downtown ($40 parking) and walked the .5 miles. Parking at the aquarium was $20. The lounge to get in wasn't too bad around 9:30-10:00 am. But it was getting longer. You are allowed a reusable cup of water with you. They take a group picture in front of a green screen before entering. There is a metal detector, and all bags are hand searched. There are wheel chairs available for rent if needed. The earlier the better chance of obtaining one. There's ramps and elevators for use. Make sure to get your tickets for the dolphin show. We had ours for 11 am. They did check stating it was sold out. It seems most people plan the same way. See exhibits, dolphin show then leave. That's when you can 'feel' the crowd. Because after the show, six which was later out in an orderly manor, the majority of people went to the store, the way to exit and it was a little crazy. Overall it we enjoyed it. They had a few tunnels you can crawl through to see a different perspective of an exhibit. I feel it's nice to go once, but I would not get a yearly pass.

  • 5/5 Kimberly B. 9 months ago on Google
    I've been waiting to visit the Georgia Aquarium after watching it on TV for years, and it did not disappoint. It's huge, organized, and has so many different aquatic animals. There were presentations included in the ticket prices, that just require a reservation. We went to the sea lion one and it was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was very friendly. We had reserved tickets for a sea lion encounter but were a few minutes late and the trainer had already left. Although it was our fault, staff was very accommodating and willing to refund us since we wouldn't be in town for the next show. The cafeteria had a very long line, so I would recommend eating before or after at the many restaurants around the area (if you're not a fan of waiting in very long lines). We'll definitely go back again the next time we are in Georgia.

  • 5/5 Rachel L. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is freaking Awesome!! It's a definite must-see. However, it's best to go right when they open. If you wait and don't mind a whole bunch of people, then you're good, but if you don't do well in large crowds; I reckon going when they first open. Had a blast and look forward to it again. The Sea Lion show was pretty awesome, too.

  • 5/5 Briana H. 9 months ago on Google
    What an amazing experience. I came from Florida to go to this aquarium. They have beautiful exhibits and the animals who look happy and are swimming without a worry. I recommend eating before or bringing food because the food is very average especially for the $. The main attraction is the whale shark and I could sit and watch that exhibit for an hour. I highly recommend signing up for the shows they have going on (dolphin and sea lion). 100% worth it. We spent about 5-6 hours in the aquarium. They take a picture at the entrance which they put a backdrop on it and a live background. If you’re hesitant on going, there’s so much to see. I will definitely be back when I’m in Georgia.

  • 5/5 Edmund J. 9 months ago on Google
    The aquarium is amazing. I have been several times over the years and love taking my kids whenever we get the chance to visit. The exhibits and creatures are top-notch! If you get a chance to catch the dolphin show, do so. However, if you don't want to get soaked, don't sit on the first few rows.

  • 4/5 Rhonda M. 9 months ago on Google
    First time visiting. Had a wonderful time. From the check-in to leaving the staff made, my family and I feel very welcomed. They were professional and helpful. I enjoyed learning more about fish. The only downfall was that I didn't see turtles, we couldn't take pictures behind the whale jaw, and the dolphin show was short. Great place for the entire family!

  • 5/5 Carlos Eduardo V. 8 months ago on Google
    This was one of the best visits in Atlanta! It was an incredible experience from start to finish. The place is truly fantastic, and the variety of spectacular animals is simply countless. I had the opportunity to attend a dolphin show, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The attention from the staff was unbeatable, and the facilities were impeccable. They offer super complete services, providing all the amenities you need for a comfortable visit. Without a doubt, it is a place I would love to visit again. Here are some recommendations for future visitors: Bring water and stay hydrated throughout your visit to fully enjoy all the attractions. Be sure to check the calendar of activities in advance and consider booking in advance to secure your spot for any special shows or events. Overall, I had an amazing time, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Atlanta.

  • 4/5 Wendelassid K. 8 months ago on Google
    It’s a very nice place to visit, kids friendly. You will need about 3 to 4hrs to visit everything,. A little bit pricey, adult entry was $42 when we went. Expect to pay every snack, beverage…3 to 4 times more than the regular price outside and an additional $20 for the parking if you are driving. There are only 2 elevators for the entire place, so you might wait forever from the parking spot to the aquarium entrance and vice versa, stairs might be the best option but harder when you are coming back from the aquarium. Staff was very friendly and helpful, great experience overall.

  • 4/5 Franjo J. 8 months ago on Google
    This can be a wonderful experience if you avoid the peak times. I came at about 5 pm on a Wednesday and entered without waiting. It wasn't empty, but not crowded either, especially after the (excellent) dolphin presentation at 6. After 7 you have plenty of space to move about and see whatever you want to see. I cannot give it 5 stars due to the insane price. However, once you accept that it's an expensive attraction, you can enjoy what it has to offer. It doesn't get any better than this unless you're a scuba diver.

  • 4/5 Alden Z. 8 months ago on Google
    If you love wildlife (specifically sealife) then this place is great! It's very large and there's plenty to do. Keep in mind there are a LOT of children and certain exhibits can get packed so be mindful of where you're walking. Besides the general admission ticket, they also have tickets where you can swim with some of the animals and even sleep over at the aquarium! Finally I think depending on your sensibilities, if you blast through all of the exhibits it'll feel short. Because even though there are a decent amount, it can have the same effect as seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time. In a way it's like "okay I saw it! Now what?" Great place overall, would go back.

  • 5/5 Sherman N. 8 months ago on Google
    I never thought I’d see a real whale shark in person. It’s truly amazing how they managed to get not one but two of them in a tank. If this is your first time, you are really in for a treat! They have several fascinating animals to discover and observe. We spent about four to five hours there. I can’t wait to go back! Tips: You are allowed to bring a bag and water. It is a lot of walking so be prepared and stay hydrated. I strongly recommend you visit their website or Groupon for discounts on tickets. We were a little late because we took the Marta into town, but it was no trouble at all getting in. It was crowded but lines moved quickly. You should be able to see everything up close with a little patience.

  • 5/5 Teesha J. 8 months ago on Google
    A great experience for locals, as well as, visitors. Fantastic family friendly affair. Good to pay ahead on website for parking. Do wear appropriate shoes (open toe is not ideal for the moving displays). The Dolphin show is great. Reserve in advance online for better seats. The cafe for lunch was not a long wait, but I visited during the week, you are able to reserve and pay for lunch in advance online. For your GPS directions use the address for the parking reservations. You will need to validate parking ticket at machine by the elevator before leaving. Wasn't too fond of the time share sellers for Margaritaville. Overall a pleasant diversity of species, sounds and lighting effects.

  • 4/5 Trisha J. W. 7 months ago on Google
    Gorgeous aquarium. Animals all look well kept, the staff is extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and the whole facility was clean and mostly accessible. I do wish there were more stations for my friend with a cane to sit. There were plenty of places for wheelchairs, but if someone has difficulty walking, but doesn't use a chair, the longer paths were a bit daunting. Also, it was difficult to find handicapped parking, and it was a very long walk from the lot to the entrance.

  • 5/5 Glen I. 8 months ago on Google
    I was very impressed with the aquarium. The shark tank was amazing. It was so large and filled with lots of different sharks and rays. The other two stand out tanks were the beluga whales. They were so playful and fun to watch. The other one was the whale shark. It was really cool to see. The otters & penguins are always fun too. We didn't watch the dolphin 🐬 show, but I'm sure it's a family fun thing. We also did not go to one other area. I think it had a touch tank area for the kids. There was a special car show that was included the weekend we went. That was a bonus item that was not expected but great.

  • 5/5 Steve F. 7 months ago on Google
    Superb experience, spent nearly 4hrs here, we thought we would go for maybe a couple of hours but time went so quick. Just fascinating to sees many different species through the many huge viewing tanks. Sealion and Dolphin show were great too. Didn't use the canteen but food was available here if you need a break and a sit down. Gift shop have good variety of gifts, difficult not to leave with at least one cuddly toy

  • 3/5 Malcolm 7 months ago on Google
    This place is not bad, I have just had better experiences. Walking around and seeing the different aquatic life was entertaining and the names of the creatures were shown. The thing that really stood out was the dolphin show. Bought the showing on a whim but it was definitely worth the price to see the trainers and dolphins do tricks up close. The first 10 rows are the splash zone, so dress accordingly if u want to get wet. It was fun and unfortunately that was the highlight of the evening. Also had a car show in the gallery that was cool to experience. Could tell that it was not the aquarium that was the issue, my interest was just wanning, not really present.

  • 5/5 gladatlast 7 months ago on Google
    We had a blast here. I was expecting mediocre based on some of the reviews, but it was so above and beyond. All of the exhibits were fantastic. We got to see whale sharks being fed and so much more. We did see the dolphin show and we're pleasantly surprised that it was short and sweet. We love somewhere that we have been shown dolphin shows since elementary school field trips and this was so much better than those. Really really glad we went

  • 5/5 Brittani S. 7 months ago on Google
    This is an amazing aquarium! It us so big it took us 3 hours to do. The dolphin show was fun and worth going to. The best parts were the shark tanks and the whale shark. We went at 9:30 am and it was pretty empty until around 11 am.

  • 5/5 Amit N. 7 months ago on Google
    This place was PACKED but such a cool aquarium. Loads to see and the free dolphin presentation was a fun attraction. I definitely recommend doing the ocean voyager last and seeing the whale sharks at the end because it's definitely the coolest thing there, but the rest of the exhibits are still worth it!

  • 5/5 Z H. 6 months ago on Google
    Love this place! Really nice exhibits to see, with great educational materials describing the exhibits. My kids love the sea lion show and the dolphin show. I got the annual resident pass in 2023 and it was well worth it! I love brining my kids any chance we get!

  • 5/5 Calaie S. 6 months ago on Google
    We enjoyed our day at the Aquarium. Many shows to see and things to do. The dolphin show was my favorite, and the Harbor seal experience is a must. They have a cafe and a few gift shops. They have everything from sharks to whales to blow fish and alligators. Sea turtles were the biggest I've ever seen in person. It's definitely an experience for the entire family. Tickers can start at $47.00 and go up, so plan ahead of time for a smoother experience. Also I recommend arriving early for parking so that you can experience all they have. It will definitely take you almost an entire day to see everything.

  • 5/5 Kim N. 6 months ago on Google
    Wonderful aquarium! Lots to see & do! Staff was very informative & friendly. We did the Sea Otter Experience!! It was the highlight of our day! Definitely recommend seeing the sea lion and dolphin shows, they are free. Parking garage was easy to navigate.

  • 5/5 William K. 6 months ago on Google
    Really a great aquarium. So much to see. So much great info on the different species and their origins. Whale Sharks!!! Just so amazing to see these. The dolphin show was so cool and we did sit in the "splash zone" ( soak zone - you WILL get wet). We truly enjoyed and will go back again.

  • 5/5 Cee D. 5 months ago on Google
    Amazing aquarium! Took about 3 hours to get through everything, during a weekday and not too busy. $20 for all day parking in the garage attached to the aquarium, I would recommend finding street parking which is much cheaper or even free. Easy to purchase tickets ahead of time. Aquarium is split up into multiple different environments with associate animals. Tons of huge tanks to see all kinds of creatures. They have food available and a gift shop. Wish they had generic shirts for cheap but they start around $35. Enjoyed our time and will come back with friends and family.

  • 5/5 Ralph B. 5 months ago on Google
    Excellent aquarium, better than the National Aquarium in Baltimore where I live. Organized well, with different aquatic themes laid out like fingers on a hand (the lobby). Still have a dolphin show, also well done. The quality of exhibits made up for lack of a rain forest exhibit, which Baltimore has.

  • 5/5 Nicole P. 6 months ago on Google
    I had been wanting to go to GA Aquarium since moving here last July and it did not disappoint! We did the general admission and had an absolute blast. It took about 2 hours to see everything and that was without doing the excursions. We will definitely be back! I do with the food court had some better options, however, we did not plan on eating here! The gift shop has just about everything you could image. Make sure to be ready for your photo at the entrance as the pricing is not bad once you are inside!

  • 5/5 Amdon A. 5 months ago on Google
    I love the Aquarium! I have visited several times and enjoyed each time. It’s amazing and educational. It is great for kids or even a fun date. If visiting on a holiday be there early. The dolphin show is awesome but fills up quickly. Get your tickets as soon as you get in. The handicap chairs are first come first serve. It’s in a great area and there is tons of places to eat around the aquarium.

  • 5/5 Chris De La F. 5 months ago on Google
    Always wonderful! Worth every penny! Best aquarium I have ever seen in the US. Go and take the kids and plan to stay for 3-4 hours at least. Definitely buy tickets a day or two in advance or even several more if it’s a holiday weekend. It’s timed entry. Can be busy and hard to get in if you wait to last minute on a weekend.

  • 5/5 Ramon R. 5 months ago on Google
    Be ready to be immersed in an amazing environment... It's fascinating, astonishing, and the interaction with the animals is incredible. The food is really pricey and not really worthy. The staff is super welcoming and willing to assist you at all times. The dolphin show was amazing. Seat in the splash zone, it's fun 😀

  • 5/5 Allison V. 5 months ago on Google
    Incredible aquarium!! Every aspect of the experience was well designed. Anticipation- Lights, heaters, and music along the walkway from the parking garage hyped you up for the experience in store. The ticket kiosks were efficient. The hallway entering had jelly fish on the wall for kids to look at while their parents finished with security. Inside the aquarium- I was amazed! Right now for the holidays there is a massive Christmas tree, an amazing dolphin holiday show, lights, etc. We loved all the display walls for pictures, and the staff being able to provide answers to questions while we looked at exhibits. The design of the building is nice because everything meets in the middle. It is not a linear aquarium where you don’t know what’s ahead. Everything is mapped out! There are really fun engaging touch screen panels and games for kids throughout as well. Reflection- You have the option to buy prints of the photos you took while there as you leave, but we didn’t do that. I’d we had done an animal encounter we might have.

  • 5/5 HARNI P. 5 months ago on Google
    It was great experience visiting the Georgia aquarium. The shark tank and all other parts in the aquarium is amazing. Ocean voyager was so large and filled with lots of different sharks and rays. The other one was the whale shark. It was really cool to see. The otters & penguins are always fun too. We also visited two shows one for dolphin and other one was the sea lion show. It was very informative and fun to watch. Specially for kids it’s very amazing and fun. Plan to spend 3 to 4 hrs at the aquarium easily. If you are planning to visit whole aquarium than it will easily take your half day around 5 hrs to 6hrs. They also have food court but doesn’t find much vegetarian option so bring your own food if you are really vegetarian. Aquarium gets really busy after 11am so plan to visit in the morning. It was really an amazing experience. I would really recommend to visit the aquarium. The world of cocoa cola and aquarium is very near by almost at one place. We purchased our tickets online before hand but you can also purchase at the aquarium

    The Georgia Aquarium is a must-see for any animal lover. It is the largest aquarium in the United States, and it houses over 100,000 animals from over 700 species. The aquarium is divided into seven galleries, each of which focuses on a different marine ecosystem. My favorite gallery was the Ocean Voyager. This gallery is home to the aquarium's two whale sharks, the largest fish in the world. The whale sharks are incredibly graceful swimmers, and it was mesmerizing to watch them glide through the water. I also enjoyed the Beluga Whale exhibit. The beluga whales are very playful, and they love to interact with the visitors. I was lucky enough to catch one of their feeding shows, and it was amazing to see them leap out of the water to catch their food. The Georgia Aquarium is not just a place to see animals. It is also a place to learn about the importance of conservation. The aquarium has a number of educational exhibits that teach visitors about the threats facing marine life. I learned a lot about the impact of pollution and overfishing, and I left the aquarium feeling more determined to do my part to protect the environment. Overall, I had an amazing experience at the Georgia Aquarium. It is a truly world-class facility, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Atlanta.

    I see why many producers used this aquarium in their movies! It is absolutely a beautiful place to be. To see so many of the marine life is just amazing. The views are breathtaking. Just try to go when the crowd isn’t heavy which can be tricky. Parking is around the area but be mindful of special events days as the prices double. Buy your tickets in advance too.

    What an incredible aquarium! Went with my family and had THE BEST of time - definitely a core family experience. We went ahead and paid the extra to become members for the year. Shows are included with your ticket and are really great. Exhibits are top notch. Looking forward to returning!

    Absolutely loved this aquarium. It has a great variety of fish and other animals. A bit crowded around dinner but plenty of opportunities to be up and close with the different exhibits. The dolphin show was excellent and all the animals look healthy and happy. The holiday decorations were also a great touch.

    Such an amazing place! The exhibits are so well done with loads of viewing space. The staff are all very knowledgeable and willing to answer questions that are not answered by the well done displays. If you get a chance, definitely do the Behind the Seas Tour. It was fantastic! The cafe has a good selection of snacks and lunch options. They are a bit more expensive than other attractions we have been to, but tasted good and were filling portions.

    This place is awesome!! They say to give yourself a few hours to see everything, but I could be here for the entire day and still find something interesting to look at. With a half dozen different areas with numerous exhibits within each, there's plenty to see. I'll have to return one day to try swimming with the whale shark!

    The Georgia Aquarium is a breathtaking aquatic wonderland that left me in awe during my recent visit. From the moment I stepped inside, I was captivated by the sheer diversity and beauty of marine life on display. The highlight of the aquarium has to be the massive Ocean Voyager exhibit, featuring the awe-inspiring whale sharks, manta rays, and a mesmerizing array of colorful fish. The enormous viewing window allows you to feel like you're underwater with these gentle giants, making it an unforgettable experience. Aside from the Ocean Voyager, there are numerous other exhibits showcasing a wide range of aquatic species, from playful sea otters to graceful beluga whales. The interactive touch pools were a hit with visitors of all ages, offering a hands-on learning experience. What impressed me most was the aquarium's commitment to conservation and education. They provide informative presentations and exhibits that highlight the importance of protecting our oceans and the creatures that inhabit them. The only downside I encountered was the crowds, especially during weekends and holidays, which can make it challenging to move around and fully appreciate the exhibits. I recommend visiting during off-peak hours if possible to have a more relaxed experience.

    We went on the busiest day of the season, so there were a lot of people. (27Dec) Guest services and other employees went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable experience. There is a sensory kit available if needed. Clean and friendly. Consider buying both admission tickets and a parking pass online to save some time and frustration. Ours was a gift that truly was a godsend.

    Place is HUGE! Imagine a 3 floor "Indoor Shopping mall" type structure but the stores are exhibits. The roof hatchery/water treatment was insanely cool. Devone was a awesome host/guide. Everyone there was very knowledgeable and welcoming. Great place to take the family or date activity. Rain ponchos are highly recommended if you attend the sea lion or dolphin show.

    Awesome aquarium!!!! I’ve been multiple times, and still enjoy going! The sea lion show is my favorite, but the dolphin show is also great. Crawl through the penguin tunnel, even if you are an adult- it’s so fun! Pet the stingrays, but do that early in the day- by the afternoon, the poor stingrays have had enough and stay away from all the hands splashing around! Whatever you do- DO NOT miss the tunnel!! It is the BEST! Stand on the moving walkway and be amazed! Every time I go, I find something I have not seen before!

    A wide variety of interesting animals both salt and fresh water, and from warm and cold climates. It's easy to spend three or four hours just taking your time walking through all of the exhibits. Checking out all of the sharks in the predator exhibit took nearly 45 minutes alone. The shows (like the sea lion show) require you to make a reservation, but they're free and you know that you have a seat saved for a specific time slot so you can keep exploring while you wait for your show time. I recommend going on the weekend and arriving early if possible. Like any other major attraction, the later you go, the bigger the crowd. Remember that there are no weapons allowed, so you'll have to leave any pocket knives or firearms in your car since the metal detector will pick them up and send you walking all the way back to the parking garage. Also be aware that parking for the day costs $20.

    Really cool aquarium. It's got really nice tanks and exhibits. If it's a busy time of year I'd say to book the shows in advance. The kids love it. I really liked it. It had lots of specimens I've never seen before. I highly recommend it

    Loved this place. I loved each exhibit and the dolphin show was great. Only con was that it was super crowded and there’s not much room. I would definitely spend the whole day there if you want to read all the infographics and content about the fish! Get your tickets in advance because only so many people can go in at a time.
