We thought the aquarium in Tennessee was much better with a smooth flow to the layout. The one in Atlanta had too much wasted open space in the center and not enough space in some of the aquariums. Some of the displays reminded me of zoos yrs ago where animals were in cramped spaces. There was a display of African Penguins that had little space ...

No beluga whale....!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/11/09
It's too costly highly crowded too little exhibits. Worst of all no beluga whale for display
although a little crowded everyone was great very helpful(staff). prices in the gift shop werent bad and the aquarium was awesome.we will go back again i am sure.
This is a great aquarium and you can have a terrific visit with a little bit of planning. Yes, it does get very crowded later in the day. Arrive before opening to get in line and then visit the most popular attractions first (Ocean Voyager and Cold Water Quest). Afterwards, have an early lunch before touring the rest.
I disliked the lack of room also it was a large price for a little seeing. Wish there would have been something to make worth while.

So much to do and see for kids!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/25/09
Great number of childrens activities but not so much for adults.Lots of variety of fish and underwater sea life.Great place to take the kids and let them explore.Was a little more pricey than I would like to have paid.Still a must see if your going to Atlanta.
We went to see penguins but did not know you have to buy extra behind the scene tour to see them . About 70 per person. Person who work touch pool very rude to 6 year old who moved shell in the bottom of the pool. Was nice but not for the price.
an enormous aquarium.take 1 full day for 1st time visitors.the best attraction in Atlanta.

Ten bucks to park......long walk from parking garage......long lines (even for advance tickets)....Very crowded.....Nice exhibits.....Cheesy 4d video......Titanic displays interesting.....$3.85 hot dog......$2.70 coke....Exit through gift shop....One hour to get out of parking garage.....Overall, nice exhibits to view, but lacking in the educational value....
