A lot to see here. We saw the new shark exhibit. Wished they had a guided tour to explain what we were seeing. There is a lot of written descriptions but it would have been nice to have someone live. We did the behind the seas tour which was great. Its about 30 minutes long and you go behind (on the other side) of the tanks and see where they feed the fish and how they keep replenishing the water that the fish swim in. Definitely worth the extra $15 for this tour. When trying to book it on their website it appeared as though the tour was sold out but make sure to click on the box with the tour time and a drop down will appear with other available times. For $35 my husband and I also got a cartoon sketch of ourselves in color. Takes about 15 minutes once you get in the chair. It came out great! Some real talented gentlemen doing this work. We prepaid for parking on the aquarium website. There is a special entrance for the prepaid parking. Just look for the signs that say prepaid parking as you approach the aquarium. We redeemed our prepaid parking at the exit because I wasnt able to redeem it at the kiosk because although its prepaid you still need a ticket to exit. There was an employee working at the garage exit and he was able to help us redeem our prepaid ticket. Turns out the reason I wasnt able to redeem the prepaid ticket at the kiosk was because my phone was in dark mode and the scanner couldnt scan my prepaid ticket from my phone.

The dolphin show was the best of all the shows. Loved it. Other than that, all the other attractions are worth visiting. Would definitely recommend going to this place at such a less price.

We enjoyed it so much. A great afternoon with the fAmily. Safety amid the pandemic was definitely top priority here The staff were helpful and friendly. So much to see,learn and be awed by!God’s creations are truly magnificent!

A fantastic aquarium. The exhibits are expertly designed and there are a number of rare and interesting animals to see. At the time of our visit all exhibits had animals and plants that were engaging. The whale shark tank observation areas were breathtaking.

The new Shark exhibit is fantastic! All 3 of my kids 7 and under loved it! They also have a great time seeing the other exhibits. Best time to go to avoid the crowds is between 8-1030. After 1030 its too crowded with COVID.

This spacious and well designed aquarium is a great place to bring friends and family. It has a wide range of exhibits and animals, highlighting many different ecosystems.Plan on several hours to see everything.If you are able to do the behind the scenes tour I highly recommend it. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, and will take time to answer your questions.It has numerous small conservation messages throughout as well, with ways that people can help preserve these amazing creatures.

They did a good job keeping everyone safe with their masks on. Lots of hand sanitizer stations around. The exhibits are really well maintained and educational. The kids loved the otters and the beluga whales. The young beluga kept blowing a bubble ring and chased it. The whale sharks are just huge and amazing.

To be able to have the opportunity to relax from ones own life, to briefly observe the movements, the daily regimens and livelihood of the underwater creatures, was simply rewarding! I was immediately engulfed by the scenery before even entering the Aquarium—which gave me a preview of what was in-store! I am glad I had the chance to visit the aquarium B.C. (before COVID)

Very educational place. Each habitat themed exhibit provides ample information for the visitors. They also have 3D shows but we didnt go in as we visited during the Pandemic. Maintaining social distance is left upto the visitors and most times once people are inside they really do not care. Especially, when it comes to photo opportunity, people are practically shoulder to shoulder.When you purchase your ticket online, you must select a time of the day when you want to visit...its the top of each hour. However, we arrived 15 mins late and it appeared that time we picked did not affect our entry with the long line of admissions.The whole aquarium took us a little over 2 hours with a 2yo toddler.

Great place to take the family. The variety of exhibits are amazing. Some of my favorite exibits are the jelly fish, the octopus, the otters and the penguins. Would definitely recommend The Aquarium for a family outing. Thank you for wowing us once more with all the incredible exhibits.

The aquarium is beautiful, well labeled a lot to learn and easy for kids. Under the stress of COVID all sanitary measures kept

A beautiful place to explore sea life. We enjoyed the moving sidewalk. Its a great way to see the whale shark and giant stingrays.

If you are looking for something to do in the city with your kids, nieces, or nephews, this has got to be on your radar. Its also a great date spot. The Georgia Aquarium is one of the highlights of Atlanta for those that live in and out of town. It has a spectacular collection. Children will love it, and it will make you feel like a kid again. Check this place out!

So amazing. The whale sharks did not disappoint and the beluga whales may have made a place permanently in my heart. Covid protocols in place. Absolutely incredible facility!!

Great experience, not as big as I had imagined but very nice displays. Employees seemed happy and engaged visitors often, that’s usually the result of good culture. I loved hearing how a lot of the animals there were rescued.On COVID-19, they kept reminding people to wear the mask over their mouth and nose and to keep the distance. There is hand sanitizer available everywhere.

This place has some of the most astonishing nature & animal displays ever. The glass tunnel with the moving floor that takes you through their biggest tank is a must-see.This will probably make you think about how powerful and creative our Creator is.There’s a wide variety of exhibits. Most notable besides the one mentioned would be the dolphin show. You haven’t truly experienced this Aquarium until you’ve seen the dolphin show. They do jumps, flips, tricks with their trainers, and even splash you! Must-see through and through!

The Shark Exhibit is now open and what an addition to the Georgia Aquarium!! My six-year-old son who is fanatical about sharks absolutely loved exploring this underworld of hammerhead, tiger, sand and black-tip reef sharks! In addition, theres so much one can learn about these fascinating and mysterious creatures at the exhibit. To take in all that this exhibit has to offer, I would suggest picking a day and time that is not as heavily populated as a Saturday afternoon!

This is one of the best aquariums I’ve ever visited. The dolphin show is fun (be sure to sit in the splash zone! Or not) and it’s included in the admission, you just need to make sure to reserve a time. The Home Depot tank/conveyer belt is awesome, they have THREE whale sharks! The beluga whales are also very fun to watch.

Even on a busy Sunday afternoon, people still were courtesy and understanding of the social distance markers. The dolphin show was so much fun. You truly do get soaked if you sit in the first ten rows,especially in the middle section. Another amazing family weekend.

Due to Covid we knew there would be restrictions on activities but the staff were competent and followed procedures in order to limit exposure. Whale sharks have been on my bucket list since I was a little girl and my daughter share my fascination/love for marine life. The Georgia aquarium did not disappoint the open ocean exhibit is not like any other exhibit I have seen and I have been to the biggest name aquariums through the US. We will back once the kids get a little older to do some of the interactions that are closed due to covid.

Nice clean place with a layout that lets you see all the exhibits fairly easy, even with a crowd. the price is expensive if you ask me, a 4 year old ticket is the same 35 dollars as an adult ticket. I didnt feel they had as much to see as other aquariums Ive been to.

Amazing aquarium. From giant whale sharks to the tiniest fish and coral, the excitement and education is ever present here. Impressive dolphin show. Taking extra safety measures for covid outbreak. Felt very safe.

Love the new shark exhibit. Very nice atmosphere. Enjoyed my visit once again.

It was very nice. Social distancing was put in place and attendants were making sure procedures were being followed. You were also able to take your time looking at the exhibits. We really needed this mental getaway in the city!

I say, just go!! We had an incredible day. Its a great place to get pretty close to sea life without getting in the water.Wonderful to learn about these animals, sea life, conservation, and its becomes personal.Dont miss the dolphins and the sharks but see everything!

Whale sharks are my favorite animals and its always so exhilarating to see the big tank! I love how well the staff take care of the animals here. They are also extremely knowledgeable and open to answer any questions.

Fun and educational! Not many places where you can see a whale shark in person! Not only that, the aquarium houses a wide variety of sea life that arent normally featured at other places. The staff is also very knowledgeable and friendly, eager to answer any questions you may have.

Wonderful aquarium. They have done a great job keeping the social distance guidelines, temp checks and ensuring proper safety. Although, the atmosphere is lax once inside in regards to social distancing(zero effort to prevent people from taking off masks). The experience within the Dolphin show was the best example of effort amid the pandemic for these guidelines. Exhibits were amazing, clean and safe for the animals. I was impressed to see the level of care to represent real-world habitats and maintain a wonderful equilibrium for all of the different species involved.

If you are visiting Atlanta, Georgia in the near future I highly recommend visiting The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia. It is absolutely amazing and breath taking. Give your self a few hours to really experience this amazing Aquarium. It would do no justice to rush through all the exhibits. Definitely looking forward to returning in the near future. The Aquarium is located beside the Coco -Cola Museum also. Very easy to find due to its proximity of being located near centennial park also. A must visit when passing through Atlanta, Georgia. It should be noted I am originally from Dublin, Ireland , Served in the United States Marines, And lived in quite a few places in the United States. I definitely know an amazing aquarium from all my travels. Per the above I will definitely be returning to visit this amazing aquarium.The Georgia Aquarium rates ten stars ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ ️ and more! You won’t be disappointed when you visit. I guarantee you will plan on returning after your visit.

Breath taking. The aquariums are gorgeous!! You walk in and boom whale sharks. There are several spots where you walk around a corner to a 30 foot wall aquarium. Cant wait to get my dive certification so i can be in with these beautiful animals. The dolphin show was so spectacular. The staff was amazing answered all our questions to a T. I love every second of it and will definitely be back.

The aquarium was great! Lots to see and my kid loved it! All the exhibits were definitely something to see. I gave it three stars though because admission was by appointment time slots only but the Venue was overcrowded both inside and out. I assumed that time slot appointments were to mitigate that outcome. There were floor signs advising people of social distance spacing but because of the overcrowding people were not really able to maintain it. It was a scary considering what’s happening right now. Overall I loved the exhibits and highly recommend anyone who wants to visit but also ask the aquarium try harder to enforce and maintain the restrictions imposed to protect us.

I would highly recommend visiting here at least once in your life! It was worth it to see the manta rays and whale sharks. All the creatures here were quite beautiful and majestic. As with many places I wish the enclosures and aquariums were bigger especially for the whale sharks and beluga whales. They did not seem to have adequate space. However it is a pretty cool place worth a visit. The reticulated hillstream was one awesome fish that I never knew existed that was quite adorable to see.

What an amazing Aquarium experience for sureee! There was so much to see and so many ocean animals! I truly felt like a kid again. As an Atlanta native, I did not realize we had such an amazing gem in our city! Loved the new shark tanks

This is by far the most interesting and fun aquarium out there! I highly recommend going. Most aquatic animals in one place at the same time! (Other than the ocean)

We went to the aquarium with my niece and nephews and everyone had a ball! The dolphin show is great and so is the 4D theater. There is so much to see and do. Its very educational as well. I learned a lot too, not just the children. It was so clean & the staff was so friendly and accommodating. I cant walk far so they have wheelchairs there that you can use at no cost.We had a great time & I highly recommend it to anyone that loves animals.

We had a fun day at the aquarium, however I expected so much more. I found it to be an average aquarium. I particularly disliked the fact that once you are inside you have to pay more money just to see the sea lions. The alligators were rather disappointing too-only some juveniles and one other small gator. I recommend the Seattle Aquarium if you find yourself there.

A must see if you are in Atlanta. I am not a big fan of animal captivity but I was curious about the whale sharks. I went in and I was wowed by the enormous tank in which they hold at least 3 of them.The aquarium itself is great, logistics are easy and the staff is friendly but honestly I just sat there looking at these majestic animals for like a full hour before taking a look at the rest of the stuff they had.Gift shop was ok too but pricey.

Really good, just like everyone had said! Lots of room to roam, plenty of different exhibits to see. You can tell they care about the fish, everything was very clean! Would visit again! However do not park there, it’s very expensive! Instead park across the street to save your self $5!

After talking about visiting here from Fort Lauderdale We finally made it! What an amazing place! The Beluga whale with her baby was so precious to see! The huge sharks were something else! The beautiful fish and penguins oh my! Very reasonably entrance fee but food was pricey.

UH---MAZING!!!Definitely a day to remember. The beautiful and graceful whale sharks will make you understand there is a higher power. This aquarium during covid did a on outstanding job reminding everyone of the things to keep us all safe while having a good time.Its definitely a contender with my Omaha Aquarium and has the big water species that we dont have. What an experience for me and the kiddos...KUDOS to the Georgia Aquarium

Way Beyond What I was expecting!The massive 6million gal tank has some many angles and viewing areas, the tunnel with the moving sidewalk being the best.The tropical divers gallery had an amazing coral Reef wall that alone was worth the visit for any coral enthusiasts.Great outing, very family friendly.The staff was just as great, super friendly and knowledgeable. We even got a tour of the support system for the coral wall, which was just as cool as the wall itself.

Extremely well organized to handle physical distancing. We booked ahead of time and the reservations make everything smoother and more efficient. Its a great aquarium and you must see the belugas, the dolphin show and the whale sharks!

Really nice facility w plenty of knowledgeable staff to answer questions. Admission is ~$36 per person & there are special shows available inside; additional fee required for some of these. The only negative IMO is having to pay additional for some shows. Exihibits & facility are clean & cafeteria is onsite too.

All my life I have frequented aquariums in various states. I have always loved coming here when I was younger but in recent months I have dedicated time and energy to really researching and educating my self on aquariums and their impact on the quality of life for the animals inside. I am not saying we should outlaw aquariums but I would urge you to please do your research on a facility. There are a ton of articles and accredited sites that explain what different marine life needs and what aquariums are doing to them. I understand how pretty it all is from the outside , I agree , but I urge you to find out what else is going on here.

Excellent place to spend a good day, highly recommended, if you pass through Georgia you should not miss it

100/100 recommend. Beautiful aquarium with multiple exhibits. The animals all appeared to be happy, healthy & well taken care off. The staff were very kind & informative. Food was good, 2 gift shops. Fun activities were included in the general admission ticket, like the dolphin presentation & Polar Express 4D Experience. We felt safe with the cleaning that was ongoing & sanitizer at every corner. Areas were sectioned off with plexiglass at exhibits to take turns being up close but keeping safety in mind with social distancing. We came all the way from Oklahoma & it was so worth it! We plan to visit again someday.

We had a great time! It is huge but there is so much to see and do inside. The dolphin performance was very entertaining and the trainers kept the audience engaged. We also tried the virtual space experience. It was a fun experience but afterwards I was nauseous. Overall, it was so well worth it.

The aquarium was great would have did 5 stars, but due to covid everything wasnt open like it should have been. They still had the area were you can touch the sting rays kids live that. Maybe bring your own snacks cause they cost. Great time will bring the kids back.

GA Aquarium is fun and adventurous for the whole family and friends. All of the sea animal exhibits were educational as well beautiful sights to see. And the Dolphins Show was an exciting learning experience as well. The Dolphins can dance, jump out of water and spin in the air, plus a whole lot more tricks we couldnt imagin. My family and I will be back for more fun and excitement.

One word. AMAZING! My whole family loved the whole site! I could have stayed there all day! Great sights and very informed staff who can teach you amazing things about the ocean and all the aquariums inhabitants!

This was my second trip to the aquarium and each trip is just as exciting! Huge tanks! It looks like the marine life is cared for. We loved seeing the baby otters during this visit and the new shark exhibit was really cool!!!This was my first visit during the COVID pandemic and there hand santitizers located throughout and masks were required. There are some plastic separators on the viewing tanks but overall social distancing is not enforced- you have to take precautions for you and your family. Going on a Sunday was less crowded, so I would definitely recommend that if that is a concern. Also the dolphin shows are socially distanced- every other row is blocked off and each party must leave 4 seats from the next party.

One of the best aquariums Ive ever been to! Dolphin show is a must! Prepare to be splashed!!! its all worth the price! The kids loved it all! Word of advice eat before you go! Food prices are outrageous. Other than that i highly recommend visiting!

A freakin mazing!! It had been years since I went to an aquarium & this Georgia Aquarium tops them all. All aquarium employees were super friendly & helpful as well!

Just to let you know! You have to purchase your ticket to get in online first! They will scan your phone. Once we got through all that!We had a wonderful time! It was all so beautiful to see. Oh you have to see the sea dragons Awesome!And if you park in the garage theres another fee as you go out.

Such an incredible aquarium. I throughly enjoyed all of the exhibits. A definite must do if you are in the Atlanta area!

Wow. This place is Amazing.. Iv never seen a Aquarium like this before.. Its a Must See.. Great for kids and the family.. consider checking out my YouTube channelA TECH PCs....subscribe :)

This is definitely a must in Atlanta. This place is kept up very well and the 26+ feet whale sharks and manta rays are awesome to see! Definitely an item to add to the bucket list if you are in Atlanta =]

It was a great experience, we loved the dolphin show! Definitely worth the visit if you’re traveling! I definitely recommend coming here!

Had a great time here. They are doing a great job for social distancing and keeping everything clean. All animals look healthy and jts a great place to walk around. I highly reccomend going and buying your tickets before getting there.

We all know this is a huge attraction in Atlanta, but I specifically wanted to leave a review because theyre doing a great job with pandemic safety. I felt good about inviting my (not young) folks on a tour here.

This Experience was amazing. Ive been to every Aquarium in the US and this was our last stop. Do not miss out on this experience!

A variety of river and ocean fish and mammals. Very thorough Covid precautions. Lots of space due to ticketed time entrance. Loved the dolphins!

Nice aquarium. Great for the kids. Enjoyed. Will be back

We visited the aquarium during Covid on a Sunday, and we had a great experience. The place was not crowded at all. Everyone was wearing a mask and they tried really had to have people spaced out. The only thing that messed up our trip was that we didnt know you have to reserve a spot for the events now. I wish I would have known that, because we missed all the events they had going on that day. So if youre planning your trip just make sure you reserve the events you want to go to before you attend.

Not very big. Can do it in under 2 hours easily. But has great great exhibits. The Shark experience is a must.

Very clean and orderly. Staggered entry and reservations went off without a hitch. Felt safe with the bag checks, metal detectors, temp scans. The whale shark, mana rays and belugas were amazing. The dolphin show was very cool.

My son loved it here. Cant wait to come back. Plenty of fish and other things to check out here. Highly recommended

Its a good aquarium with a few creatures you wont see at another aquarium in the US. That said its mostly on one floor and the number of exhibits are currently limited. The ones they have look great.The staff around making sure people are wearing their masks is a bit overkill. A person about around every corner. Really? Our tickets are paying for these jobs.The lady in the main atrium shop was really nice and patient with my wife finding things she wanted. The lady in the exhibit atrium shop with most of the t-shirts was rude amd out of line.Overall not a bad experience, but i only see a need to go here once.

Never get bored of this place They are implementing new protocols to keep visitors and employees safe. Somehow I even liked it better this time than the last time when it used to be packed. Social distancing is pretty much maintained in all areas, which would give visitors more space to take photos without having photo bombers. Everything is just as great as it has always been, but in a new look amid the pandemic. Great job Georgia Aquarium and shout out to all the staff for what they are doing to keep the place open to the public.

Must visit!! Bring some time, because there is quite a lot to see. Very important: Also bring warm clothes, since temperature is kept low against your expectation in Hotlanta (and I say that as German being used to cold weather).And I tell you: Only sit in the front 5 rows at the dolphin show, if you got some change clothes in your back.unbelievable fun to communicate with the dolphins. Even visiting it alone is fun. Absolutely recommended.

Such an awesome place. Been wanting to go here for awhile now, finally did and must say Amazed!

We came up from Odessa, Florida and stopped by here on our second day adventuring through Georgia. We couldnt have been happier with the experience. Facility was clean and HUGE! Our son loves Sharks and there Whale Shark tank was intense! The giant manta rays were so majestic and the exhibits were all amazing. You MUST stop in here if you have 3-4 hours in the area. They are doing an amazing job at keeping everything clean, so dont be afraid to venture out and explore this place. We will be back!

Well set up for easy flow of visitors. I loved seeing the whale sharks and giant rays. Due to COVID, the touch stations were all closed and in addition, a sizable piece of the aquarium is being renovated and is therefore closed. I look forward to coming back to see the new exhibits.

The Georgia Aquarium is a fantastic place where you can experience the wonder of wildlife while supporting conservation worldwide.They are on top of social distancing and safety so you can get out and enjoy while remaining safe!We love finding time to pop in and see some of our favorite animals and we always manage to learn something new!

The Georgia Aquarium is top notch and the best aquarium I have been to. Everything is in pristine condition- so clean and there are employees to help and guide you located all around. They have several interactive exhibits and shows. A must see and do place if you are interested in animals or have kids. You will spend all day there so be prepared to do lunch on site as well. There are places to eat inside the aquarium and gift shops too. Very impressed and thought it was reasonably priced too. Parking was a breeze. Will go again and again.

I could spend hours in just the cold water area alone, but we went for the new shark exhibit and it did not disappoint!! They had sanitizer everywhere and were diligent about keeping an eye on social distancing and everyone wearing their masks!

One of the best aquariums I have ever been too ! The dolphin show is good. It is really fun place for the weekend if you like sea life Also you can see the beluga whales

We went to Lookout Mountain Tennessee to celebrate my sons birthday & on our way back to Florida we stopped in at the Aquarium and I am SO GLAD WE DID!! This by far has been the best Aquarium our family has been to. I am a mother of 3 & I am always finding things to do, indoor & out and this was Perfect ending to our LONG trip. We love that we could walk through the aquarium tank area & felt like we were in the ocean with them.My family absolutely LOVE the Shark head whales and Manta Rays.They were massively huge & beautiful. We saw scuba divers in the tank with all the animals. Of course during this pandemic we have going on the Aquarium has a mask policy which I am extremely thankful. They made us feel safe and did what needed to be done during this craziness. My son who is 8 and love anything sea life was in AWWW & we will definately be back soon!!

Always an absolute delight, the Georgia Aquarium hosta multiple main permanent exhibits. Theres a freshwater river exhibit, a cold water exhibit, a deep sea and tropical exhibit, and multiple ocean exhibits!Perfect for kids, dates, and tourists - even a cafeteria on site if you prefer not walking a block or two. There a few seasonal hands-on areas for kids (and adventurous adults), and theyll also switch out certain exhibits every year or two.As of fall 2020, all COVID and CDC recommendations are being followed vehemently, and guest numbers are limited by mostly online ticket sales. There was a new alligator exhibit upstairs, too, so be sure not to miss anything tucked into the corners!

The fish are so beautiful. I had a great time. Theres so much to do and see.

Unbelievable place. Kids loved it. Hopefully youll be as shocked as we were when we saw how massive the whale sharks are. The Belugas though were our favorites. This place will not dissapoint.

The Georgia Aquarium is everything it promised to be and more. The acrylic tank walls are HUGE, giving you a feeling of being truly immerged in the ocean. The various exhibits are well set up with lots of viewing space, and the GA has made partitions to ensure social distancing. However, the failure to enforce social distancing and letting in to many people lost them one of my stars. People walked into the partitions we occupied on several occasions, forcing us to leave prematurely. Ending on a positive note, the Sea Lion encounter was kept to a smaller group and very entertaining. The animals were allowed to come within only a few feet of us (about 7) so very cool.

Had such a great time the staff was so helpful. That all made me feel so welcomed. Did as many of the shows as we could.

Im 57 yrs old! Been to many aquariums. Georgia aquarium is the BEST! Those animals are so Happy!

We really enjoyed taking our kids. Be warned that if they are seriously selling less tickets for social distancing purposes that I would not want to see a regular aquarium day outside of the pandemic. It was packed and very crowded. People on top of one another. We bought our tickets in advance and had hoped to bypass a crowd as they stated that less tickets were being sold. I just cant imagine that based off what we saw. It was hard to get through it and enjoy it with that many people fighting to see everything. What I can say is that these people are complete MASK POLICE. They made sure everyone was wearing a mask properly and constantly were sanitizing. Employees were making rounds to spray all high trafficked railings and other frequently touched surfaces. As well as seeing hand sanitizer stations every so many feet. They were every entrance and exit and at every corner. The lady who worked the sting ray exhibit on Sunday (09/06/2020) was very rude and her demeanor made the exhibit uncomfortable for us and most guests that were surrounding us. Very unprofessional and wasnt friendly. It seemed like she enjoyed making people feel uncomfortable and embarrassing them and calling people out. We saw her do this to several people. Luckily we werent one of them. We witnessed it a final time and left the station as it made us feel very uncomfortable for everyone involved.

The new shark exhibit is awesome. I feel very comfortable bringing my 1 year old daughter here. Sanitary precautions at being taken and there arent that many people at the aquarium at one time.

My first time here. I enjoyed myself. Im one tired lady. You got to be in shape to do all this walking. This extra pandemic weight got me out of breath. But it was totally fun.

Had a great time. And the social distance practices put in place are great.One suggestion: the staff needs to check the hand sanitizer stands more often, especially in the more popular exhibit areas; a few were empty...good thing there are several spaced out throughout the aquarium.

This place is simply magical. I went as a child when they only had two whale sharks, but I promised myself that I’d be back. I came back yesterday, over a decade later, and to my amazement there were four whale sharks. The Ocean Voyager habitat is my favorite, but there are so many others to see. We saw everything in about five hours. We also ate lunch at the aquarium. The food was terrible when I went as a kid, and it has improved.As far as COVID-19 safety precautions, the aquarium is doing its best. There are spots on the floor marked off 6 ft. apart, but not everyone adhered to these guidelines. The Ocean Voyager habitat had plexiglass barriers in front of the acrylic, so you could wait your turn to get a spot for optimal viewing. I was disappointed to see how many people were not adhering to social distancing guidelines, but there was nothing the aquarium could do to prevent that.

Easily the biggest and one of the best aquariums that I have been to. The best attraction by far is the whale sharks. They are simply humongous!

The best aquarium Ive ever been too...beautiful facility, knowledgeable employees and a great variety of animals.

Everything here is breath taking. There is so much to see. Plan to be here at least 3 hours. The tanks are huge, and all the animals are very well taken care of and loved.

Awesome place...just AMAZING!!!.Cant wait to go back.️️

We planned a trip to the aquarium and was NOT disappointed. (Oct. 2018) It was on a week day and there were several feild trip groups from local schools there but aside from waiting for a few extra minutes to use the bathroom, you wouldnt have ever known it. We ate in a room that had viewing windows to the beluga whales, which was awesome. They were very playful and interacted with viewers the entire time we were eating. One in particular enjoyed playing with my son. He even got to pose with a diver as he was cleaning one of the tanks. We enjoyed every minute of it and will definitely be back.

Staggered parking and temperature screenings upon entering. Crowded in the popular exhibits despite efforts to maintain spacing. Concessions available. Great new interactive area for kids with games etc. and you can peek behind the scenes at the whale sharks. Dolphin show needs a more engaging story and/or host. One touch pool still open with stingrays and starfish.

Americas biggest aquarium? Oh definitely This place is huge. Such a range of species on exhibit - Its not even funny. If you want to capture the worlds marine flora and fauna in one snapshot, then run through this Aquarium in Georgia. They have it all - Sting Rays children can play with; Walk through under water; Big glass halls that look onto some fascinating Tiger Sharks even as you look for that Great White..! What an experience this place!

We visited the aquarium for our anniversary. We were some of the first guests to see Sharks! The employees were friendly and went above and beyond for us. We wanted to do the Behind the Seas tour but only 1 spot was available. The employee we spoke to had the tour manager come talk to us and he ended up opening another spot so we were able to take the tour. The free dolphin show was fantastic. We went twice and both shows were different. The only drawbacks were the size of the sea lion habitat and the gift shop. The gift shop needs more variety of merchandise and bigger sizes of shirts.

I really enjoyed our visit here! Tickets & gift shop items are fairly & reasonably priced. Most of the staff was friendly & accommodating.

Dont bother. It was incredibly overpriced, over hyped, and extremely packed. The exhibits were small, and there were so many people we couldnt see anything. Despite the pandemic, there were no limits on people in the exhibits, and social distancing was not enforced. Honestly, I wouldnt even want to come when there wasnt a pandemic. Chattanooga aquarium is so much better in every way.

Amazing!!! You can spend the entire day in there. The dolphins show is great... a lot of fun and a lot of information to learn.
