A Great Place to take the Family!

Looking for a summer getaway, but can't quite make it to the beach? Want someplace in Atlanta where you won't have a sunburn for a souvenir? Want to see HUGE creatures like whale sharks, beluga whales, and even sea lions?

Well aren't you glad the Georgia Aquarium, located in the heart of Atlanta and not too far away from Georgia Tech, CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park, the new World of Coca Coca -- and plenty more great attractions! -- is open and waiting for you!

Here's a taste of what you'll find at the Aquarium, along with a few tips on how to get there!

The Aquarium's not Just Cool, it's (Bio)Shocking! 

Check out this awesome Bioshock Cosplay done at the Aquarium!

This picture (and many other awesome ones like it) are from this excellent Bioshock Cosplay done at the Aquarium before opening hours! These photos were taken from the Ocean Voyager and Tropical Diver exhibits, and are nothing short of gorgeous!

The best part? They're just an example of the great things this aquarium could set off inside your imagination! It's really something amazing to behold...

Best Ways to Avoid Paying Full Price 

Well, we never said the Aquarium was cheap... Here's my advice for getting the best deal!

  2. Find a Big Group to Go With! Group Discounts Abound!
  3. Buy a Bundle! Bundle your Aquarium Tickets with a trip to the new World of Coca-Cola, or bundle with the Aquarium and the Atlanta Botanical Garden, or the Aquarium and Six Flags... You can find a bundle that's perfect for your trip plans!
