Wonderful aquarium! Lots to see & do! Staff was very informative & friendly. We did the Sea Otter Experience!! It was the highlight of our day! Definitely recommend seeing the sea lion and dolphin shows, they are free. Parking garage was easy to navigate.









































We enjoyed our day at the Aquarium. Many shows to see and things to do. The dolphin show was my favorite, and the Harbor seal experience is a must. They have a cafe and a few gift shops. They have everything from sharks to whales to blow fish and alligators. Sea turtles were the biggest I've ever seen in person. It's definitely an experience for the entire family. Tickers can start at $47.00 and go up, so plan ahead of time for a smoother experience. Also I recommend arriving early for parking so that you can experience all they have. It will definitely take you almost an entire day to see everything.



















































Visited on a weekend. Parking is very challenging. Read the instructions in the tickets and drive to the exact parking spot. From the parking garage to enter into aquarium is another challenge. We didn’t have spot to park the car inside and drove all the way to the top most level on open space. Book for dolphin 🐬 show and sea lions 🦭 show in advance and it’s free included in the ticket. Go in 30 minutes advance to both the shows. If you go in time they will close the gate and will not allow you inside. The security didn’t allow us because we were in time and when went to dolphin show entrance it was 2:16pm and show starts at 2:15pm. Poor queue management in the entrance. Inside the aquarium it’s beautiful 🤩 lights, decors, details and all the sea exhibits were amazing 🥲. We had great time. Easily can spend 5-6 hours here. Plan and visit accordingly. Aquarium and walk in the downtown is the best.





























We had a blast here. I was expecting mediocre based on some of the reviews, but it was so above and beyond. All of the exhibits were fantastic. We got to see whale sharks being fed and so much more. We did see the dolphin show and we're pleasantly surprised that it was short and sweet. We love somewhere that we have been shown dolphin shows since elementary school field trips and this was so much better than those. Really really glad we went













































One of the best aquariums i have ever been to. Much better than Dubai's Sydney's and many other places. This aquarium truly does justice to being the world's 4th largest aquarium. It houses plenty of species and that too in bulk. The sea lion and dolphin shows are the ones that can't be missed when you visit this aquarium. It has fish and water species from around the world.
Recommend purchasing tickets online in advance before visiting. Parking and food facilities definitely need to be improved, esp on weekends and public holidays.

We had a really good time here. We ran out of things to do on our last day and figured we would stop. Happy we did... everything was neat, clean and well organized. They have multiple areas to explore... you could spend a full day here if you wanted to... they have a food court are and a place to eat inside. The aquarium is located to other attractions in the area. Be sure to check it out!



















































I loved this place! I knew I would. I saw some amazing animals and it left me very excited to learn more. I'm already in the field studying so this was icing on the cake. I took loads of pictures. I would say I wish the dome area was cleaner, but there were other areas for pictures. I think next time I'll try scuba diving or snorkeling options. I wanted to see what that experience looked like before buying it. You don't interact with the whale shark but you can at least try to get closer to observing it.





















I was very impressed with the aquarium. The shark tank was amazing. It was so large and filled with lots of different sharks and rays. The other two stand out tanks were the beluga whales. They were so playful and fun to watch. The other one was the whale shark. It was really cool to see. The otters & penguins are always fun too. We didn't watch the dolphin 🐬 show, but I'm sure it's a family fun thing. We also did not go to one other area. I think it had a touch tank area for the kids. There was a special car show that was included the weekend we went. That was a bonus item that was not expected but great.











I am really surprised to see such positive changes at the aquarium! Things I had never seen before made this trip the most memorable!
Parking was great using spot hero and the line to enter was really quick on Sunday.
The Ocean Voyager section was the most memorable. We could have sat in front of that glass wall for an hour and not been bored. Looking at the whale sharks and tank the turtle was amazing but seeing the size of the sting rays was incredible.
I really enjoyed the dolphin show which I didn't even know existed! The shark section was also really amazing with multiple viewing windows.
Lunch was really quick and easy! Just pick up a tray and grab whatever! The fries were pretty well cooked and we enjoyed that!
Overall we had an amazing experience and I'm really happy to have seen the updates!
We used a city pass and it made it so much more affordable to visit here as well as other major attractions!

What a beautiful place! We loved seeing all of the exhibits here at the aquarium. We most anticipated the whale sharks and manta rays, and they didn't disappoint!
It was quite busy when we went—even on a Thursday. However, even at bigger exhibits, if you waited and watched for a bit, you could get a good view for some beautiful pictures and spectacular views.
Parking was pretty scarce too. We were able to find some but had to go up quite a few levels. That makes sense given the business of the aquarium though.
Overall, it was a great trip and the people and parking situation never took away from the experience.

This was one of the best visits in Atlanta! It was an incredible experience from start to finish. The place is truly fantastic, and the variety of spectacular animals is simply countless. I had the opportunity to attend a dolphin show, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The attention from the staff was unbeatable, and the facilities were impeccable. They offer super complete services, providing all the amenities you need for a comfortable visit. Without a doubt, it is a place I would love to visit again.
Here are some recommendations for future visitors: Bring water and stay hydrated throughout your visit to fully enjoy all the attractions. Be sure to check the calendar of activities in advance and consider booking in advance to secure your spot for any special shows or events.
Overall, I had an amazing time, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Atlanta.

Love this place! Really nice exhibits to see, with great educational materials describing the exhibits. My kids love the sea lion show and the dolphin show. I got the annual resident pass in 2023 and it was well worth it! I love brining my kids any chance we get!





Don’t let the negative reviews here put you off of visiting this absolutely amazing place. We try to go every year! It’s such an educational experience, even if you don’t have kids. I love that the sea lion & dolphin’s shows mention facts about what they do & how the rescue and rehab sea animals. There’s interesting information in every exhibit about the animals in that area. The cafeteria food is a price you would expect, but it’s nice portions & flavor, lots of space to sit. The crowds do get bad, so it’s better(in my opinion) to go in the morning. But even when it’s crowded, it’s still lots of fun if you have the patience to wait. Just like when you go to Disney. Buy tickets before hand online! It makes getting in a breeze. The kids were absolutely happy and amazed by all the sea animals, even though they been multiple times they never get bored. We’re already planning our next trip. I think the price is fair for the absolute quality of this place. The restrooms are ALWAYS super clean, all of them, and there’s a lot of restrooms throughout the building, so that’s a plus. Almost all of the employees were super nice, including the cleaning ladies.
