Attraction - Georgia Aqaurium Review

Thought it would be bigger

4*

---

We visited in the afternoon, after 4pm when the tickets are $26.95 [as of early 2020] which is $6 cheaper per person than standard ticket price. Although it was quite late the aquarium was still full of people and there was a bit of a queue just to get past security! I had heard that the attraction is one of the largest aquariums in the world however I think that this knowledge meant my expectations were too high as I did not think it was that big. It wasn't difficult to cover most the areas inside the attraction in a relatively short time. Nevertheless, the exhibits were good, the tanks all appeared to be clean and well maintained, and the supplementary information was good; not too much but not too little. I liked how the areas were themed by habitat as this made the layout easier to understand and thus navigate. We watched both the sea lion show and the dolphin show, again, despite both shows being rammed, they were still good. I was quite amazed that they could provide a proper dolphin show inside the venue as I have only ever witnessed these types of shows in outdoor settings. Certainly, this is a fantastic place to bring children, but even older generations would enjoy it, the fact that there is a cafeteria means you could spend all day here if you wished, however, for myself and my partner, we covered everything in about 3 hours and left towards closing time.
