The aquarium was worthwhile and my kids loved it, but it was too crowded for me to enjoy. I would consider returning again in the late afternoon, after most people with children have already left. more

Keep your ears open when you come here, you may learn something important. After reading all of the negative reviews below, they seem to fall basically into one of two categories - either the attraction is too expensive or the place is too crowded. The latter is easily addressed - GO EARLY. I got there when it opened. Not difficult... more

We came here in the middle of the day.... bad idea, even for a Monday. We found out later if we had gone in the morning, it wouldn't have been so full. It was literally shoulder to shoulder people and it was hard to enjoy some areas. We got our tickets online ahead of time but be cautious, if you... more

I love aquariums and have been to the New England, Chicago, New Orleans, Monterey and lots of other aquariums around the country. After two visits to Atlanta I must say it's my least favorite. Our fort trip to the aquarium was shortly after its opening in 2005. Having heard all the hype about the "world's largest" etc.our expectations were way... more

If you are into fish this is the place to go. If you like to touch things the touch exhibit is great. If you are with the elderly or have a stroller this is a great place to go because they can still get right up to the tanks or on the automatic walkways. I recommend bringing the camera for... more

The Georgia Aquarium surpassed all of my expectations. I took my 5 and 11 year old daughters. They were delighted and amazed with all that there was to see. I was told to go online and get the tickets and was glad that I did. Also, we got there when it opened and avoided the crowds that came later in... more

This is a place where the whole family will enjoy. There are so many things to see and do. What I liked most was the ocean voyager; a acrylic tunnel where you feel like a scuba diver under water. The kids also enjoyed the touching pools were they had many stingrays, horseshoe crabs, etc.... more

Our family had a wonderful time at the GA Aquarium. If you're staying in Atlanta for more than a day, get the City Pass - well worth the money to do the attractions. Our City Pass got us a behinds the scene tour of the aquarium so we got to see the feeding of the whale sharks. What enormous, gentle... more

We went with our 3-year-old and 2-year-old. They enjoyed every part of the Aquarium, especially the kids area with the whale slide. We were disappointed that the whale and penguin areas were closed. We were told we could do a behind the scenes tour for an extra $50 each if we wanted to see those areas. We thought that was... more

My daughter and I took a trip the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta Georgia, and had a wonderful time. Their many exhibits were amazing, we even got to pet manta rays! Walking through the tunnel with all the different types of fish swimming all around us was a very neat experience. more
