Spring Break Travel Tips from Georgia Aquarium
Engage them with education before your trip….at home!
- Get your family excited about a trip by visiting the attraction’s website to explore activities that you can print out and do together.
- Everybody loves coming to the Aquarium, but there’s a way to wiggle in education. Harness that excitement and put it towards a learning experience before you arrive. Kids Corner is a different way to approach the trip and make it a learning experience.
- Use tools to plan.
- Build your experience beforehand to maximize your time at the attraction. Most attractions have an interactive webpage to help make planning your visit a seamless process. The Aquarium’s Plan Your Visit page helps youresearch the experiences the Aquarium has to offer and make ticket, parking and add-on program purchases.

Georgia Aquarium Insider Tips
- Pay for parking online ahead of time.
- Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are the least crowded times.
- Visit early or late in the day to avoid the busiest times.
- Plan your visit around free activities offered throughout the day.
- AT&T Dolphin Tales: choose your seats no later than 20 minutes before the show, the best seats in the house are at the top of the lower half section.
- Interactive Dive Shows : Tropical Diver and Ocean Voyager galleries have divers that answer visitors questions while underwater
- Animal Feedings: Check out computer screens outside each gallery with daily feeding times for marquee animals.
Have a hands-free experience.
- Give your technology a break and live in the moment. You can still manage to capture the memories by taking fewer but more impactful photos.
- Georgia Aquarium provides a beautiful backdrop for photos that are perfect to help your social network follow your trip!
- “One For the Grandparents”: the Pacific Barrier Reef Window inside the Tropical Diver gallery has great lighting and livens up your photo with colorful fish.
- “Look Where I Am”: Off Baker Street Entrance, just near the newspaper stand, you can capture the full Georgia Aquarium façade.
- “The Perfect Silhouette”: It is no surprise Ocean Voyager provides an artistic backdrop for a photo; many movies have chosen this gallery to feature in their films.
- “Just Another Fish in the Sea”: Many of the exhibits feature windows where children can get up close and almost look as if they are inside with some of their favorite animals. Try making a scary face inside our Piranha exhibit in River Scout!
- “Bird’s Eye View”: Make a pit stop after you exit Cold Water Quest, to capture the World’s Most Magical Aquarium from a second floor vantage point.
Make the most of family time.
- Break out the map - make the most of your visit by researching which “must-see” locations are close.
- Planning ahead will help minimize parking fees and reduce travel time.
