  Amazing! This is one of the best aquariums I have visited within the United states. Located downtown Atlanta next to other sites like the Coca-Cola plant and the park. Many nearby hotels within walking distance. Set up into different water environments. Hosts many different species including dolphins, seal, sea lions, beluga whales, and tropical fish. And as if that wasn't enough wonder, the main event here is the amazing deep ocean view that includes the gigantic whale sharks (of which they have 4), sharks, large manta rays, huge groupers, and a sea turtle. Also, the shows are wonderful, and you will get wet if you sit up front. Fun 4d movies. Great gift shop. Food is good at expected prices. Easy to see it all in a half day. But we went through each area several times and saw the dolphin show twice. Each show was surprisingly different.

  Its just ONE of the most fascinating experienced EVER! It's an absolute must do when you make it into Atlanta Georgia. There is so many amazing animals and activities to enjoy the dolphin show and so much more while you're there. It also sits next to the Coca-Cola that you can tour and there's a lot of difference places to shop and just have a wonderful family experience while you are visiting in Atlanta Georgia. The first time we went my great nephew was just walking and it was so much fun to watch his facial expressions with all the different aquatic animals and shows and as you're leaving a must-do is coming through their gift shops it's very reasonable as far as price and I know that they also offer seasonal I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and I did you'll have a blast the bottom line priceless

  Loved it, but it lacked a direction. Enjoyed 4d shark show and sponge Bob. Sea lions were great, no pics allowed. The tank where the whale sharks are is great... Wish was bigger... Filled up in there and people don't seem to know what personal space is or the words excuse me. It was 30$ for one pic but you pay 40$ and u get all of them and a book... Didn't go for it. Overall I really enjoyed it. And get the cross Atlanta off bucket list.

  We love the Aquarium! There is something enchanting about walking through spaces where the tanks are on the ceiling. It allows you to feel as if you're joining the creatures of the deep on the ocean floor. There are both fresh and salt water fish here. The kids could watch the penguins for hours as there is a crawl space that allows them to see the birds up close. It is my goal to inspire my children as stewards of the planet they live on. This place has so many lessons to offer about why we need to protect our oceans and how they protect us.

  I cannot express to you how much fun I had at the aquarium. I suggest doing the 3 Way pass on Groupon that takes you to the Civil Rights Museum, the Coca-Cola factory, and the aquarium just to have a full day of nothing but fun. The aquarium is a very large place but everything is accessible through either stairs or an elevator. I would suggest looking at the aquarium map before fully diving into the aquarium to get an idea of where you want to go and win. I suggest going to the petting part of the aquarium first to get tickets and to make sure they are not sold out, unfortunately we didn't follow this information and were unable to pet the Penguins. But it was all good the day was filled with a lot of other amazing interactive activities. The staff is extremely friendly as well. Though I went during spring break and it was 100% hectic, the staff kept a great smile on their face and very kind. Before you go into the aquarium you will be given the option to take pictures I suggest taking a few and buying the $40 pack first before going through the whole aquarium as well. This way you don't have to deal with everyone trying to buy their photos while they're leaving and stuck in a huge line. Wheelchairs are available inside but you must give a photo ID to take it out. The gift shop is amazing and there are two, one near the food and one by the exit. I went to the one by the exit since it was larger and a little less hectic
