"A wonderful experience with my brother and husband"
May 2019
My husband and I were hosting my brother at our new home for the first time. We wanted to give him an outstanding experience. My husband thought of the aquarium-we'd been wanting to go. I found the tickets on Tripster at a much lower price than my normal "go to" (starts with a G) so I bought them! Not only did we get in at a lower price, we got to skip the ticket lines (the other site would have required us to take vouchers to the ticket booth for redemption)! It was an AMAZING visit! Although it is a busy place ,the aquarium is huge with lots of exhibits and things to do. My brother was very impressed, saying it was much better than the aquarium where he lives in Ohio. We were able to provide a memorable experience for my brother without breaking the bank! Thanks!

We enjoyed the visit with our 10 year old Grandson - he learned a lot and enjoyed all the exhibits and shows. We took the Behind the Seas tour and would recommend it - very interesting to learn how things are done behind the scene.

"Beautiful place to visit, excellent first date, just a little crowded."
TripAdvisor user rating 4 out of 5

The Georgia Aquarium is huge!! I was simply amazed at the size (two stories and quite a few separate areas) and the number of sea creatures they had there. The size of the enclosures themselves was astounding and left me in awe watching the whales, sharks, skates, and rays moving so effortlessly through the expanse of water. The aquarium also has a surprising number of dolphins, alligators/crocodiles, jellyfish, seals and sea lions, otters (so cute!) and penguins, in addition to the other sea creatures you can expect to find in any aquarium. My only complaint is that the aquarium is, not surprisingly, very popular to the point that it can be hard to get a good view when it's too crowded and noisy. Side note for military personnel: Georgia Aquarium does give a discount! While more and more businesses these days are refusing discounts for servicemen and -women, the Aquarium is still on the up and up.

"Whalesharks!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed July 23, 2019 NEW
We came for the whalesharks and were not disappointed! We got a Behind the Seas tour and were lucky to see a feeding of the whalesharks which was super special. The rest of the tour was interesting and informative. The aquarium itself is impressive and beautiful. Very nice displays and the kids had a great time.

The aquarium is for everyone and a great experience for all. This is not a cheap attraction and you should get the city pass if you are going to be in Atlanta for a few days, seeing attractions. The dolphin show was amazing and if you don't want to get wet, don't sit in the first 10 rows. You can buy food, typical burgers, pizza and chicken fingers. There is a salad bar and other healthy food options, you can sit on the first or second floor to eat. I also notice people buying alcoholic beverages. You probably would want to get the aquarium when it open, to give yourself to see shows and tour the aquarium.
