If you’re thinking about going to the Georgia Aquarium, you have a good time in store for you. This Atlanta institution draws millions of visitors per year.
In this article, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about the Georgia Aquarium.
Georgia Aquarium: What To Know Before You Go
I recently went to the Georgia Aquarium in downtown Atlanta to give my support as well as get out of the house. When I went, they still hadn’t reopened all of the exhibits due to the coronavirus pandemic, but plenty of them were available.
The Georgia Aquarium was supposed to undergo a major renovation. It was getting some bigger tanks. Well, sort of. The downtown Atlanta landmark was set to expand.
Released renderings and drawings show a new building on Baker Street adjacent to Centennial Olympic Park. The project will cost an estimated $100 million.
When you arrive in the parking deck, you will have to walk across a bridge to the ticket area, but it’s not a long walk.
What Are Georgia Aquarium Prices?
Georgia Aquarium prices are reasonable if you consider all the attractions you get to enjoy. When I went to the Georgia Aquarium, the prices were:
- $32.95 for a single adult ticket
- $28.95 for a single child ticket
Sometimes you can save money by catching an early-bird special, but those sales come and go.
