From coral reefs to crocs, meet more animals than at any other aquarium!
The Georgia Aquarium stands as one of the world's largest aquariums, housing over 120,000 animals representing more than 500 species across 10 million gallons of fresh and marine water. Your fast track ticket grants immediate entry to this spectacular underwater world in downtown Atlanta, where you'll encounter everything from gentle whale sharks to playful beluga whales.
Spread across seven galleries, each exhibit recreates specific aquatic environments from around the globe. Walk through the massive Ocean Voyager tunnel as whale sharks and manta rays glide overhead, or watch the mesmerising movements of thousands of schooling fish. The aquarium combines conservation education with hands-on experiences, making it equally engaging for marine biology enthusiasts and families seeking an educational day out.
The aquarium opens daily at 9:00 AM, with closing times varying by season between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Weekend mornings and school holidays see the heaviest crowds, so arriving at opening time or visiting on weekday afternoons offers the best experience. Plan to spend 3-4 hours exploring all seven galleries thoroughly.
Located at 225 Baker Street in downtown Atlanta, the aquarium sits within walking distance of Centennial Olympic Park and CNN Center. The nearest MARTA station is Peachtree Center, just a 10-minute walk away. If you're exploring more of Atlanta's attractions, consider pairing your visit with the Atlanta CityPASS for additional savings on multiple venues.
For those planning a fuller Atlanta itinerary, the CNN Studio Tours are located just across the street, making for an excellent combination of educational experiences in the heart of the city.
