"Best aquarium I have ever been to"
October 2024
The aquatic experience at Georgia aquarium is really awesome. They have kept all aquatic faunas in great display, be it as small as sea horse or as big as beluga whale. Their dolphin and sea lions shows are a must watch. You will be amazed. Reservation of these shows are recommended as they get houseful early. It's a great experience for kids too. I to went there second time and still loved every bit of it.

We think is the first time we see so clean and sharp sea lives in a wonderful environment. The dolphins show and the seals show are remarkable for the warm beauty.
