"You should be able to take a fish home for the price"

Targets tourists with incredibly steep cost. Wife and I went to see what the place was about with an hour and a half to closing, woman said $126.00, I told her that there were just two of us, she said she knew, I still thought that it was a mistake and told her that we weren’t getting annual passes, again she said she knew. I declined and we left. That’s almost $1.50 a minute to visit. Maybe a late entry price would be a good idea. We wanted to visit a dolphin not buy one.

Just as advertised, the sharks were a sight to see at this aquarium. It can be very packed, so be prepared for that, but various sea life to look at here.

We spent several hours at the Atlanta Aquarium as a way to fill time in between other events. We were pleasantly surprised by how nicely put together this place is! It was truly great. What started as a time waster turned into a great experience!
