It was easy to navigate and could be done in 2 to 3 hours. One tip is book the shows right away using the posted QR codes. The holidays are best to visit because of the decor. Great aquatic display.

I'm not one to write reviews but the experience was excellent it takes you about 3 hours to go through the whole aquarium the ticket page was the cheapest and it was fine I was afraid to buy but everything is legal. The parking cost me 25$ that's apart from the ticket get there early because after 12 o'clock many people arrive and it's harder to see all the attractions!

Although it seemed expensive it was absolutely good value for money. So extensive that we spent well over 2 hours there. Great environments created for all the residents and I'm not a fan of zoos etc. The stars were the Beluga Whales of course but also the sea otters put on a lively show and the Manta Rays are just surreal.

An aquarium like no other!

Visit the Western Hemisphere's largest aquarium, Atlanta's public aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium. Spend the day exploring the nooks and crannies of this gigantic aquarium, including 7 different zones and its interactive 4D theater. Learn all about whale sharks, manta rays, beluga whales, African penguins, common bottlenose dolphins, and more, as you watch them from behind the glass. Walk through the clear underwater tunnel that stretches through the giant tank, lending close-up views.

Do it like the Dolphins

Enjoy the exciting energy of dolphins at the Dolphin Presentations. Wave at giant Pacific octopuses, Japanese spider crabs, and California sea lions - species unique to this aquarium. These rare sightings are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can capture during the visit. See one of the largest living reef exhibits in the world before heading home, again it is something that you would've never seen before.
