I have been to all of the big aquariums in the US except for the one in Boston and this is by far the best! You not only get to see marine animals in their natural environments but you feel like you are there as well. To address what a few people commented on; if you go on the fourth... more

Georgia Aquarium touts that it is the biggest aquarium (in world?) but I don't think it's the best. Exhibits are modern and current but 45 minutes is all it took to see it all. Viewing areas are small for the more interesting exhibits so there's a lot of frustration among patrons. The Ocean Voyager exhibit was cool with it's acrylic... more

I finally got to see the much hyped Georgia Aquarium and it was ok. Sure it was cool seeing the whale sharks and the giant manta ray, but overall it was just ok. Maybe I'm jaded due to the Chattanooga Aquarium and Ripleys Aquarium of the Smokies in my back yard. This is an enormous aquarium but the layout is... more

If you plan to see Georgia Aquarium, be ready for long lines, many gates and no support for customers for guideance. If you plan to go, buy tickets online to pass all the clusters of people waiting to go in and waiting to buy tickets, this will save you approx. an hour. Do not be swayed to see the 3D... more

First of all let me say that whoever did the interior design of this aquarium is a genius. The colors, flooring, lighting, etc is extraordinary. I've been to the GA Aquarium 3 times now and it never fails to amaze me. The Ocean Voyager tank is a sight to behold. The whale sharks are awe inspriring and the Belugas are... more

My husband, two teenage daughters and myself went last week and we LOVED it! I really liked the self guided phone tour. I think they might have had iPod tours also but I don't know for sure. It was not very crowded at all on a Tues. morning. I would recommend the Quick Dip tour because going on top of... more

This is billed as the world's largest aquarium - I think they must mean the one actual aquarium inside that holds the whale sharks, because I was disappointed in the overall size of the entire aquarium complex and the number of displays. But, I went to see whale sharks and they were amazing. Here are some hints: If you are... more

My family went to the aquarium the Saturday before Memorial Day. We didn't buy tickets online, because you never really know about traffic and were not sure when we would arrive. It was $10 to park in the parking garage. You then have to wait for an elevator to take you to the ground floor. This took quite awhile. When... more

Our family has visited 5 aquariums (Georgia, Baltimore, Chicago, Chattanooga & New Orleans) and this was definitely one of the, if not the, best. It costs just under $100 for tickets for a family of 4 (2 adults + 2 children) but this is comparable to what we've had to pay at other large aquariums. Like any aquarium you may... more
