Georgia Aquarium - Atlanta, GA Reviews

We recently visited the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta while my son was here visiting from Spokane. We had a wonderful experience! The "tunnel" was absolutely amazing! It was quite an experience to see the unbelievably large whale sharks so gracefully gliding through the aquarium.

The balugas were very playful and one particular female was quite the ham & had all the young children quite intrigued.

We visited the open pool which contained small sharks and rays that you could touch. The hands on interaction was great and the children all seemed to thoroughly enjoy it & so did the adults!

When the Georgia Aquaium opened in 2005 it claimed it was the largest aquarium - with size, number of species, and exhibits - but it also claimed it was the world's most engaging aquarium. Both claims are true, but one rquires effort on your part. The aquarium implements programs to keep itself the largest aquarium with plans to expand and by bringing in new animals every couple months. They do their part with engaging customers by having 4,000 volunteers take classes on their exhibits and walk around the aquarium exhibits asking and answering questions, sharing fun facts, asking them to play conservation...

I went to the Georgia Aquarium in November of 2008. The price was a little steeper than what i was used to, but was willing to pay it since it was a vacation. We went on a Friday and did not expect it to be as packed as it was. There were so many people and kids running around that it was a little more than I could take. I really couldn't enjoy the marine life as much as I wanted to due to the crowds. The food was over priced, and the seperate shows inside the Aquarium were not included in the price of admission and were not really worth the extra money. I think it would have been more enjoyable...

I have only been once, and I do not care to go back. There are way too many people and hardly any room to move around. There are no big sharks, which was not good to me. It was way too much money and not enough to see. It may be the biggest building, but I do not think it is the biggest aquarium per se. The aquarium in Chattanooga, Tennessee to me is much better than this one in Atlanta. There is way more to see. There is more room to move. There are actually sharks there. I would not recommend anyone go there if you have already gone to the one in Chattanooga. You will be disappointed. If you...

We live in Atlanta.  We purchased season passes to the aquarium it's second year.  It's just a wonderful place.  We love it.  Our 3 year old loves it.  And we have taken many out of town guests who loved it.  Everyone loves the Beluga whales the best.  The aquarium is clean and has amazing exhibits.  Probably the BEST place thing to do in Atlanta.  The cafe in the aquarium is great and very reasonably priced.  They have lots of variety too which is nice when you have young children.

No complaints about the aquarium!

I have been to the Georgia Aquarium twice, both times it was extremely crowded. I enjoyed my time there, don't get me wrong but it was crowded. There should be some kind of cut off point of how many people are allowed inside; especially with all of the little kids running around. There is so much to see and numerous places to go so that's exciting. With unattended kids running around, it takes away from the exhibit. It's definitely the best aquarium I've ever been to. I hope to go back someday, mayde during an "off" time, if there is such a thing at the aquarium.

I really enjoyed the Georgia Aquarium. My brother took me there when he was here for a visit. The seal life is wonderful. I have reservations about whale sharks in captivity but it was still awesome to see them up close. I have physical disablity and they provided a wheel chair for me. I was really pleased for that! We went there on a week day so the crowd was very lite. Great place for children to enjoy the beauty of the oceans.

I recently visited the Georgia Aquarium located in Atlanta Ga. The experience is unforgettable. I saw creators that I've only read about.For instance, the seahorses. They was so enchanting. I also got to see fishes from the amazon rivers, and tropics. And who could forget, Niko, the belugas whale. I would definitively encourage anyone who has the time to go and visit. It is fun for all ages. You will not be disappointed.

The aquarium is a great place to spend the day with your family.  We took our 3yr old and he thoroughly enjoyed every moment he was there.  The food court is also a hit with much better than expected fare.  

The Georgia Aquarium is a nice place, but considering it was paid for by a mega rich guy, Bernie Marcus (owner of Home Depot), why do they have to charge so much to get in???

If you are going, make a day of it and get the combo passes for the aquarium and the Coke museum. They are right next to each other since the Coke Museum has been redone.

If you can afford a yearly pass, and will go many times then more power to ya!

There is alot to see and a place where your kids can play on a ship. I really enjoyed it. Go during the week when it is less crowded and go while school is in session if you can...
