The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is one of the largest and most engaging aquariums in the world, offering a wide variety of marine exhibits and immersive experiences. Its standout attraction, the Ocean Voyager gallery, features whale sharks, manta ray... read mores, and a 100-foot underwater tunnel that allows visitors to walk beneath thousands of sea creatures. Other major exhibits include Cold Water Quest, where guests can view beluga whales and sea otters, and Sharks! Predators of the Deep, a state-of-the-art shark habitat that provides panoramic views of these powerful predators.

Visitors can also enjoy interactive presentations with dolphins and sea lions, which are included with general admission but require same-day reservations. The aquarium hosts additional experiences like animal encounters and opportunities to swim or dive with whale sharks for those seeking something more adventurous. With daily hours from morning through evening, the aquarium offers flexible scheduling options, and ticket prices vary based on time and availability, with special discounts for children, military members, and evening entry.

Parking is available at designated locations near the aquarium, and public transit is encouraged to help avoid delays. For the best experience, it’s recommended to visit on weekdays or after 4 PM to avoid crowds. The aquarium has its own mobile app for schedules, maps, and digital tickets, and visitors typically spend about three to four hours exploring the exhibits. Dining is available on-site, and strollers are allowed but may be difficult to maneuver during peak times.
