In addition to the wonderful aquarium itself, we tried the dolphin encounter. It is well worth the price. You get to learn about the dolphins, meet and touch one and thoroughly enjoy

The aquarium was great. Dolphin show best ever. This was a very good stop visiting Atlanta. Plan to spend half a day visiting the exhibits. The only hitch was lunch in the cafeteria; don't bother trying it. Food was tasteless. Be sure to go into the tunnel.

Very new facility and there's a lot to see. High quality attraction. Easy to get to on public transit.

Not impressed at all. I love watching the discovery channel and learning about new marine animals, so at the world's largest aquarium, I expected so much more. Very few exotic fish, I was expecting to see fish that I've never seen before. The price is too high for what they have to offer. Not excited about about returning.

An incredible experience. The aquarium is arranged like a mall of different activities. There are a series of attractions relating to different types of environments. The dolphin show is terrific, although very cramped and uncomfortable seating. Still worth it. The big panorama windows let you see everything in the different tanks.

The tank is the size of a football field, so you don't see the back of it. Just sit and... More

Visited the Aquarium apparently during the last week of school- it was nothing but wall to wall kids running around and so loud in the open "lobby" area. Had we known, would NEVER have gone. The new dolphin show was so silly and cheesy- like a Disney production. I guess we Americans don't like anything that is strictly educational so... More

Visited during a conference in Atlanta in May 2013. I thought the aquarium was very well done and especially enjoyed the whale sharks and the beluga whales. The aquarium was mobbed with school groups during my visit on a Wednesday morning. Perhaps an afternoon visit would be less crowded. However, I spent about 1 1/2 hours and still felt like... More

I have been to a dozen or so aquariums around the country and the Georgia aquarium is clearly the best. Only problem is everyone knows it so crowds can be huge. Try to go at off peak times.
