Georgia Aquarium

Get up close and personal with the ocean’s largest, loudest, fuzziest, most magnificent animals at Georgia Aquarium. From a big-bellied seahorse to a lumbering whale shark, playful beluga whales to endangered African penguins, you'll encounter the fascinating variety of creatures living in and around the world’s most massive waters.

The Destination Dolphin presentation included with admission celebrates the connection between humans and the amazing bottlenose dolphin, a species found in temperate and tropical bays, estuaries, lagoons, and offshore environments worldwide. The Saltwater Showdown features the Aquarium’s California sea lions and their trainers in a demonstration of how they work together with expert commentary on why it matters.

Atlanta CityPASS includes:

Anytime General Admission – Entry includes all galleries, a dolphin presentation, and a sea lion presentation.

Highlights

  1. 01.

    Feel like a SCUBA diver in an endless blue sea, mesmerized by thousands of fish swimming overhead as you walk through our 100-foot underwater viewing tunnel in Ocean Voyager. Home to over 100 different species including whale sharks, manta rays, and our resident 450 lb. green sea turtle, Tank, Ocean Voyager has 185 tons of acrylic windows for you to explore.

  2. 02.

    Marvel at beautiful beluga whales and spot curious animals such as Australian weedy sea dragons, Garibaldi damselfish, and Japanese spider crabs hanging among rocky ledges and kelp forests in Cold Water Quest.

  3. 03.

    Walk through a gallery of living art in Tropical Diver, which has one of the largest living reef exhibits in the world (and a crashing wave overhead!). The 200 species of coral house thousands of colorful fish, including clownfish (aka Nemo), tropical seahorses, and fairy basslets. You can also watch translucent moon jellies drift past, seemingly weightless as if floating in space.

Advice for Visitors

Tips

Dolphin and sea lion presentations are included with admission but require reservations. We suggest you make presentation reservations online as early as possible on the day of your visit, as seating is limited. Please note that only same-day reservations are available. If you are unable to make reservations online, you can reserve your time when you arrive at the Aquarium.

For the lightest crowds, visit Monday-Thursday, either in the early morning or later in the afternoon/evening. You may reenter the Aquarium on the day of your visit; get your hand stamped at the guest relations desk before you exit.

Download the Georgia Aquarium app from the App Store or Google Play. The app has updated gallery content, the animal guide, audio tours and webcams, and show and presentation times.

Atlanta CityPASS
Exceptional Value and Time Saver to boot!
There simply is no other way to hit the hot spots in Atlanta than with CityPASS.
Summer Fun
Had an amazing "staycation" with my daughter. We were able to experience Atlanta the way it should be. CityPASS is an amazing deal. I will certainly be doing this again!!!
Highly Recommended
I do not just recommend the Atlanta CityPASS; I highly recommend it. This would be our first time vacationing in Atlanta, and it was great. I had no previous knowledge about a CityPASS, but it turned out to be a game changer. We visited all the main attractions without going BROKE!
Great Value!
Over three days, we viewed 5 great attractions, each of which made us all say "wow."
Atlanta CityPASS
We loved it. We were party of seven and this was the best way to see the city. It helped us plan and see 'must-see' places in Atlanta. It actually helped us connect with few other Atlanta pass holders who were also out of town visitors like us.
Atlanta CityPASS is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 7249.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Valentine’s + Atlanta CityPASS = memories 🫶 Our first Valentine’s together was absolutely amazing thanks to Atlanta CityPASS! We were able to experience so much in one weekend without feeling stressed about tickets or planning. From the Georgia Aquarium to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, everything was seamless. It made our trip feel intentional, fun, and meaningful. Highly recommend for couples who want a mix of adventure and quality time!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worth it! I bought a city pass for my trip from Rockford Illinois to Atlanta. Our only goal was to go to the aquarium but ended up buying the city pass, went to the aquarium, zoo and world of Coca Cola! It was easy to purchase, and easy to use. 10/10 recommend.
