Haley HigginsJuly 31, 2010No possible way this is the largest aquarium in the world... Beautiful though. <3 the Belugas!
Donna LApril 2, 2012The dolphin show is a disappointing travesty of musical theater. Zero educational value.
christian bovineJanuary 1, 2011Secret Tip: Check out another great view of Oceans Voyage in the Oceans Ballroom
Nicole Greenberg StreckerMarch 1, 2012Don't bring your lighter! They make you leave it at the gate and you'll never see it again :-(
Kody WoolbrightJuly 2, 2011Go really late when it's not as crowded, and check out the otters when they are playing.
Check out the Journey with the Gentle Giants program. A once in a lifetime experience.
HISTORYApril 19, 2010It's the world's largest aquarium housing more than 100,000 animals of 500 different species. The aquarium was built as a gift to the city of Atlanta from Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus in 2001.
Neal Robert AndersonMarch 24, 2012Awesome place...will have to get southwestern consulting here next conference
Lauren BeasleySeptember 1, 2013So crowded. Leave the kids at home, they won't be able to see anything.
Kristin BrooksFebruary 26, 2014Maybe it was an off day, but our visit wasn't good. Loud music inside, rude people at security, and very poor signage when it came to accessible ramps. We ended up all over the place.
Jamie HJune 10, 2012The dolphin show is so so. More like sad captured dolphins meet Atlanta's sassy off Broadway featuring Bernnie & Bili's Liberace nightmare.
David GrinerJune 26, 2011Pre-paying for lunch saves time and money (don't even have to go to a register). Eat upstairs if you have more than 2 people.
randell feverNovember 25, 2009Get here early on a weekday and have the whole place to yourself. That way you can spend hours in the tunnel.
missheavy chevyDecember 19, 2010Make sure you pet the stingrays, hammerhead shark & starfish!!!! :-)
Touch the fish, just the tips of the fingers. Just to see how it feels.
Oakland CemeteryOctober 12, 2010Stop by the petting tank under the lighthouse to touch some bonnethead sharks and cownose rays.
