Its galleries hold more than 42,000 m3 of recycled water
Tickets
Georgia Aquarium first opened its doors in 2005, with the vision of encouraging both education and economic growth.
It’s the largest aquarium in the Northern Hemisphere, holding almost 12 million US gallons of recycled water.
Georgia Aquarium has seven major galleries where hundreds of species and thousands of animals live in. The aquarium’s notable specimens include Beluga whales, California sea lions, manta rays, and tiger sharks, but its main asset is the 6.3 million US gallons whale shark exhibit. The majority of these animals came from other aquariums, zoos, and fish farms or were rescued from endangered living conditions.
Receiving around 2.5 million visitors in 2018, Georgia Aquarium is not only a big entertaining attraction but a major promotor of ocean conservation efforts and animal care. By combining field research with the study of on-site animals in a controlled environment, the Aquarium is contributing to the understanding of the underwater world and applying new discoveries to the conservation of marine life.

Inside Georgia Aquarium there are hundreds of species and thousands of animals, but the ones standing out would be the tiger sharks, the whale shark, beluga whales, and also alligators, otters and tree boas.
You will be able to gaze many creatures while walking through a 100-foot underwater viewing tunnel surrounded by sharks, manta rays and sea turtles at the Ocean Voyager Gallery.
You can walk around the Georgia Aquarium in about 3-4 hours and get a good look at everything without rushing.
Photography is allowed without flash, but not in the animal presentations.
One of the best times to plan a Georgia Aquarium visit is in the middle of the week (Monday – Thursday), as weekends are usually the busiest times.
You’ll also avoid most of the school groups on field trips if you go in the late afternoon.
If you really have to go in the morning, try to get there early and plan your route so you move quickly, before the crowds catch up and definitely pre-book your tickets to skip the regular ticketing lines.
