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

The Dolphin Tales show was AMAZING!!! Very impressive. A bit of a wait but so worth it. We were maybe 12 rows up and BARELY got wet.

Enjoy an afternoon at the aquarium. Don’t leave without a photo in front of the whale sharks in the floor to ceiling saltwater habit.

You have to come! Won't regret it. Amazing experience. Watch out for the dolphin show. Very nice
DianaJanuary 20, 2017
The dolphin show was really exciting for a 3 year old... and I enjoyed it as well. It's just a beautiful place to explore.
Rebecca WNovember 14, 2010
I had a great experience - LOVED the large tank where you walk through the tunnel. It is a little hard to see the exhibits when crowded so go during the week to avoid the high traffic.
Daniel SligarJuly 2, 2013
Don't bother coming in the summer or on weekends... way crowded & shows might be booked solid. **Get advance tickets to avoid 30-45 min additional wait.**

Take you're time. It may be crowded in some areas but don't worry the dolphin shows will thin the crowds.
John RubenMarch 17, 2014
It's mainly for kids and they will surly have fun.. Not so much for adults except for the dolphin and giant sting gray... Make sure you have separate tickets for the dolphin show..
Raymond PSeptember 3, 2012
Make sure to get your separate ticket to the dolphin show as early as possible from Guest Information. They were gone 1.5 hours before the show we tried to see.

Head to the world’s largest aquarium this summer. Situated in the heart of downtown Atlanta, the Georgia Aquarium offers a dolphin show, petting underwater life and more.

The whale sharks stole my heart. Price is worth the ocean voyager area alone! Had a great time!
Mark KuboAugust 19, 2015
It's a good aquarium with interesting exhibits. There are better ones in the nation, however. Exhibits go off of a central area of food and merchandising which may be annoying to some.

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

This aquarium holds 38 million liters of water, making it the second-largest aquarium in the world. Its 60 tanks are home to some 100 000 animals of 500 different species
April MooneyMay 20, 2013
It was a pretty good time. I would recommend it. Not too expensive, either. Except the food, I would suggest bringing your own!

Don't miss out on the Ocean Voyager Exhibit. It holds 6.3 million gallons of water and houses thousands of animals, including four whale sharks and four manta rays!
Nicky SmithDecember 16, 2015
Wonderful exhibition! Next time, I will skip CNN and Coca Cola so I can spend more time there.

A great value is the Premium Day Pass, which includes admission to all five galleries and the "4D" movie theater. Read more

Amazing place,loved the dolphin tales show!too crowded today,try to avoid weekends before a holiday!
Javier SomozaFebruary 16, 2020
The best aquarium and ideal for children
Kevin TNovember 12, 2018
When you get to the Voyager Tank underwater tunnel, don't stay on the moving walkway... Just hang out on the side and take pictures!
Dana NewsomeMay 14, 2016
The dolphin show was the absolute best
Louis MetcalfNovember 21, 2015
Fascinating place for family, dates, or solo trips. Super crowded on weekends so go early or midweek.
Julian NamDecember 20, 2011
The world's largest aquarium and one of the best. Make sure to check out the 4 young whale sharks, 4 beluga whales, and 4 manta rays.
Jennifer BAugust 24, 2011
Buy tickets ahead of time - especially if going on the weekend. Check out the City Pass if u want to c multiple attractions like Coke museum, CNN Center tour, zoo, etc. Will save u a bundle.
Jt TourangeauSeptember 15, 2013
Go to Whale shark display during one of the Dolphin shows, hardly anyone in main viewing area
Ken OrzeDecember 9, 2013
Diving in the big tank is awesome as the whale sharks & Mantas are very comfortable getting REAL close
T BrentonJuly 11, 2015
Best aquarium around. A must for the family. See the dolphin show and prepare to get wet.
Ashley HammermanMarch 7, 2019
It is beautiful but everything from the initial cost to get in to the prices in the gift shop are so high that the average family would not be able to afford it.
Krys RonquilloAugust 20, 2012
Skip the crowds and the kids by wandering into the ballroom. There are two tanks there that let you see the whale sharks from the big tank and the beluga whales on a more intimate level.
Eliza SpearApril 22, 2013
Check all the feeding times online so you dont miss the otters getting their teeth brushed. Too cute! The ocean voyager large viewing room is just pure magic.
G CApril 17, 2012
A special place in every way. Beautifully designed and honestly spectacular! You can spend the whole day and still want more.
AJCJanuary 23, 2015
For an outing for the kids that won’t break the bank, pay $39.95 (plus tax) for the Georgia Aquarium’s “Me and Mommy” ticket offer. Valid Monday-Thursday through April 2. Read more

By far, the nicest aquarium we have ever experienced and the dolphin show is over the top!
Rita BellingerSeptember 5, 2010
if you are using city pass you have a free voucher to take a quick dip tour & trust me you want to use that voucher! with it you can go backstage 2 several of the exhibits & above the whales tank
Mary NamestnikNovember 6, 2016
Make sure you catch the dolphin show!
kutley knightJanuary 1, 2013
Look out for ppl in the park outside of the aquarium. My wife and I saved $25 from gentleman who let us use his gift pass. Awesome!

Get there early and take your time through the visits... with so much to see and experience, there's no need to rush!
ElizabethJuly 22, 2015
Always fun. Don't miss the upstairs you can peek into the top of the tanks.
Yasmeen SafwatDecember 25, 2013
Absolutely incredible aquarium! Never seen so many different fish in my life. Definitely worth a visit

Show up 1 hour before close. You'll get the pro-rated entrance fee ($13 for us), lines are non-existent and you'll have plenty of time to see everything.
EbruJanuary 23, 2014
After 3.30 (week), it is likekly to be the best time to go in means of less visitors than daytme. No ques at all but there are no dolphn show after 3.30 still you have chance to watch their trainings.
Asaf FabbiAugust 24, 2013
Use the electronic kiosks to purchase your tickets than take the blue advance ticket line. It is much faster than waiting in line to buy tickets regularly.
Jaslin ThomasFebruary 16, 2016
Learned so much about the whale shark. It's truly a one world ocean.
Graham StrotherDecember 28, 2013
Cool place, but tarnished by poor floorplans and ZERO concept of effective crowd control. An exhibit exits right into the hallway for the ONLY bathrooms in the main space!
Michael NahoomJanuary 24, 2013
Take your time going through all the exhibits and if you bring your kids slow them down and enjoy the day.
Jimmy RickyJune 16, 2015
Be aware of long lines and a very crowded experience. I don't think they ever stopped letting people in and it was shoulder to shoulder through most of the exhibits. Go early or be warned.

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