Tips before you go:
🎟️ You need to buy a timed ticket ahead of time. (certificate link)
The Georgia Aquarium offers a daily 10% military discount with a valid military ID, alongside free admission for active and former service members during select Military Appreciation Days. They also give free admission on your actual birthday to Georgia residents. Show your license or a birth certificate for a child.
🅿️They have a parking garage attached. You take an elevator/steps down and still walk a little bit to the main entrance. Buy Parking ahead of time as they sell out quickly. If you have a handicap pass you can still get a spot if it says sold out.
🐟 Sign up ahead for seats for the Sea Lion and Dolphin show.
🐟 You scan tickets after you get into the building.
🐟 You first enter the welcome area if you want a photo taken. We always try to walk around when they change families for the pictures.
🐟You will go through TSA type security. No lighters for smokers!
🐟Cafeteria (with restrooms in the back) is upstairs. Make sure you look at the station for your ticket number after you order as each station has different tickets they are filling.
🐟 Outside Tropical Diver is a machine to buy a phone charger or exchange your charger Rod.
♿ They have a few wheelchairs to borrow but no scooters to rent. Each big viewing window in the exhibits have a blue carpet for you to wheel your chair up to see.
🐟 I would suggest narrow strollers as with crowds it gets tight to get through. They have stroller parking outside the shows.
🐟 They do have locker storage to rent.
The main floor is divided into sections. Click here to download the map. I suggest you first book Sea Lion and Dolphin shows and work around those times
The Gerogia Aqaurium is an amazing place for kids and adults of all ages.
