"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!

This was really something amazing. If you are in Atlanta, you shouldn't skip this. Beautifully done aquarium with special design and style for every section. Of course, the most impressive is the biggest aquarium with whale sharks - yes, that's a plural. Nevertheless the pools with seals, otters and other sea creatures are amazing as well.

"We loved it!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5
Reviewed November 11, 2019 NEW
The Aquarium website suggests 3-4 hours to see everything... we were there for 6 and loved every minute of it! The Ocean Voyager section featuring the whale sharks and the giant manta rays is by far the most breath taking. It features both a tunnel where you can walk "underwater" and a giant viewing wall. The whale shark talk was very interesting and full of cool facts. Both the dolphin and sea lion show were fun. Be warned that when they say the front rows in the dolphin show are a soak zone that they aren't kidding. My kids in the second row were drenched! So avoid rows 1-5 if you don't wanted to be soaked and rows 6-10 if you don't want to be splashed. The dolphin auditorium is large, but still be sure to get there early for a good seat. My boys also really enjoyed the 4D shark show that's included with your ticket and the hands on Aquanaut Adventure zone. Tickets are pricey and most expensive at the gate. Discounts are available in advance online and Mondays are free for active duty military members. Still, it's well worth the visit. You won't regret it!
