#### Discover thousands of sea creatures at the world’s biggest aquarium.

The Georgia Aquarium has more square feet and water than any other aquarium in the world. Dozens of displays contain about 10 million gallons of water and more than 120,000 sea creatures. You’ll see dolphins, rare whales, dangerous sharks and tropical fish — just to name a few.

Plan to spend about two to four hours at this downtown attraction. It’s one of Atlanta’s most popular venues, so arrive when the museum opens to get a head-start on the crowds. Buy tickets in advance online to avoid standing in long lines at the entrance.

The biggest display by far is the Ocean Voyager. This saltwater tank is 284 feet (87 meters) long, 126 feet (38 meters) wide and 30 feet (nine meters) deep. It’s home to whale sharks, manta rays, grouper fish, sharks and stingrays. Watch them as you stand in front of a window that’s 60 feet (18 meters) long and 27 feet (eight meters) high, or walk through a clear tunnel that runs through the middle.

There are six exhibits in total: Beluga whales and sea dragons are kept in a cold-water display. Coral and tropical fish make up the reef exhibit. At the open tank, touch stingrays, crabs and sea stars.

A 30-minute dolphin show, held twice a day and up to four times on Saturday, is great fun. Trained dolphins interact with actors in a show featuring elaborate costumes, lighting, special effects and a dramatic musical score.

The aquarium is open every day of the year. General admission tickets include the dolphin show, 4-D Theater and any special temporary exhibitions.

There are several areas for parking, but these tend to fill up early in the day. Consider catching the train, which stops nearby at the Philips Arena/CNN Center station.

I came to Atlanta to celebrate my daughter’s 21st birthday. The front desk clerk Allen A was phenomenal and he made our time there delightful. He gave us recommendations on places to visit shop and eat. He set the tone on our stay and it didn’t disappoint.

Great aquarium with many shows and attractions. Try to avoid busy times (weekends, holidays).

### 5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

This was our second visit to the aquarium, I will be back, but I don’t recommend going during the Christmas/New Year break. It was overly crowded after 11, to the point of a wait line for exhibits.

### 4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Honestly, I've been to better aquariums, but this was a solid mid-level experience. LOTS of construction going on, so it may be quite enhanced come 2020.

### 5/5 - Excellent

Enjoyed this place very much and it was a out 17 minutes from the hotel which is convenient.

### 5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Great tile to arrive is around 3pm. We got to see 2 impressive shows (dolphins & sea lions) with ample seating that were very entertaining. Along with all their very well done exhibits. In the 6M gallon tank, we saw huge sharks and whales swim overhead along with stingrays and much larger manta rays. A group of divers were in the tank with them (what an experience that had to be!). It is located in a perfect part of town (Centennial Park) which also held the Coca Cola Museum, along with others and a large Ferris wheel and across the street College Football Hall of Fame. The park also had this amazing fountain set to music... really cool and mesmerizing.
