The Georgia Aquarium opened in 2005 as one of the largest aquariums in the world. Located in downtown Atlanta, it is undoubtedly a breathtaking experience for all its visitors. A generous endowment from Bernard Marcus, the co-founder of Home Depot, makes this dynamic aquarium possible. It showcases exotic sea creatures such as giant groupers, beluga whales, and whale sharks (which have never been seen outside of Asia). With 500 species, you will see something new and different no matter when you visit. In addition, the Georgia Aquarium offers an expansive educational program for students of all ages. Check their website for tours, special events, extended hours notices, and group discounts.

WE MADE A BIG SPLASH!
By Brenda, 11/11/09
Awesome and really fun! I really enjoyed walking through and seeing the cool fishes and walking under that big tank tunnel. I also enjoyed the 4D movie and i coudn't go in the titanic little tour or whatever because we ran out of time.:( but it cost at lot of $ bbut well worth it. It can get a bit boring if you go there twice. I hope to go back to see the dolphins like in 2010 or something and see the cute dolphins.

Not sure if we will go back.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/06/09
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 for example. I say use the wasted space in center to increase some of the cramped displays. Children were running and jumping in front of people. Some of the displays were awesome like the aquarium tunnel. We paid a total of $34 per person so we could see a shark exhibit along with the aquariums. I hope that in 2010 when they complete the Dolphin section that they do not raise the price any more. The employees were friendly and informative.

Ok, but would not recommend!
By Kristi, 09/07/09
A lot of money to enter only to find out that there are more charges inside for the two movies (3D and 4D) that they offer.

Plan ahead for an amazing experience!
By Marsha, 08/15/09
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. Later in the day, if you can afford it, the behind the scenes tour was really interesting and informative. The group was under 15 people and it went to all the uncrowded locations behind the scenes. We definately plan on returning. The Georgia Aquarium is new, modern and has many things that you won't see anywhere else. They are also in the process of adding on a large dolphin exhibit in 2010 (which is why the penguins are currently off of public viewing except for the tour). For what you get to see (things that cannot be seen anywhere else) it's not that expensive. And that's also why it gets so crowded.
 
 
 
 
 
Not worth It
By BobK, 08/03/09
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, 06/26/09
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.
 
 
 
 
 
Do not want to go back
By mom, 06/05/09
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.
