This, by far, is the largest and most extensive aquarium in the world with live exhibits that are large, in color, and in your face. By far, this is a visit that you don't want to miss if you are in Atlanta for any time at all. It is especially great for children or families.

Is a must in Atlanta... Buy the city pass as a best option to see the city. Consider at leas 4 hours to see the place. Restaurant is not the best but at least serve basic food. Need to see it.

This "largest aquarium in the world" is so only because of its gargantuan interior space mostly devoted to a food court and shops! The dolphin show is an excellent example of what is wrong with child-oriented "educational" material in the modern age: just noise, spectacle, and a silly made-up tale redeemed only by the beautiful animals themselves (who aren't asked...

The aquarium was good and the dolphin show was good.We enjoyed the frogs. We went early in the morning and that was a good time. The later the day the more the people.

A must see if you are in Atlanta. The Dolphin Show is well worth the price of admission alone. We spent over 3 1/2 hours there. The food court is a little pricey, but the food was good.

This was a neat experience but i was glad I had free admission. Had I paid the posted prices I would have felt cheated. Much smaller than I had imagined.

A must see when visiting Atlanta only because it's the worlds largest aquarium. I really enjoyed the aquarium, lots to do and the lay out is amazing. I was only disappointed that for a 8 million gallon aquarium I was expecting more. Maybe because of the hype before it opened up. This aquarium is pricey but you can find it... More

In the center of Atlanta, there is a beautiful aquarium. In front of the huge tank, you can spent your whole day by watching fish, whale, shark swimming around. Pembrook pass will deduct your entrance fee to enter this Aquarium and also the World of CocaCola together. Every time I go to Atlanta, I love to visit this Aquarium.
