Georgia Aquarium is a public aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It exhibits hundreds of species and thousands of animals across its seven major galleries, all of which reside in more than 11 million US gallons (42,000 m3) of water. It was the largest aquarium in the world from its opening in 2005 until 2012 when it was surpassed by the S.E.A. Aquarium in Singapore and the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in China; the Georgia Aquarium remains the largest aquarium in the United States and the third largest in the world.
A $250 million donation from the foundation of local businessmen and The Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus provided the bulk of the funding needed to build and stock the new facility.
The aquarium's notable specimens include whale sharks, beluga whales, California sea lions, bottlenose dolphins, manta rays, sea otters, and tiger sharks. Its centerpiece is a 6.3 million US gallons (24,000 m3) whale shark exhibit.
If you have kids, do be wary of going through the tunnels that go through the bottom of the aquarium. When I was there with my 6 yr old niece, she complained about the view. I got down on one knee to talk to her, and looked up..whoa.. the viewing angle from the height of a young child is very distorted due to the manufacturing of the tunnel and how light hits it at a different viewing angle. It nearly gave me the same headache my niece was alluding to. So, just be careful to check on them and feel free to pick them up to have their eye level be the same as yours.
Great tip, thanks Scott!
Good to know.. It might be easy to shrug it off as an adult..
Thanks for that tip!
@@Spadoosky my pleasure! Wouldn't have known myself except I had a part time job at a kids store, and I would often kneel down to talk to them at their level, and I instinctively did that for my niece..
thank you for info 👍
A few years ago I did the whale shark dive there that you can sign up for, as long as you’re a certified diver of course. It was awesome, I dove with the whale sharks, manta rays and more in their main tank. They had us wave to the tourists behind the glass and interact with them. They also gave us a small behind the scenes tour too prior to the dive and furnished everything from the wetsuit to the mask with the dive. The price wasn’t bad either.
That’s awesome Heath & Marcia! We hope to go back and do some other experiences next time!
Great video, and amazing place to visit. Thanks for the information.
Our pleasure Tomas!
Wow! Fantastic video. Thanks.
Thanks Michele!
Amazing video and narration! God bless you!
Thanks Marcos! We hope it helps people planning a trip to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta!
Awesome guide!!😀
Wow this is totally awesome.... Would love to see it ...thank you
Our pleasure, hopefully you can make it to the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta someday Sandra!
Thanks for this!
Our pleasure Nancey!
Yay! I’m so glad y’all made it to my home state! Atlanta is a pretty neat place with lots to do.
We plan to come back again someday soon! The kids wanted to do World Of Coca-Cola but ran out of time. I actually just bought 2 tickets to a christian conference in ATL this September!
@@AdventureIsOutThere I look forward to seeing that video.
This place just looks phenomenal! If only I didn't have a fear of flying 😭🤣
Very nice video and info as usual 👍👍
Thanks Roger, we hope it is a helpful guide that saves people time & money when they visit the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Yes. I agree. I live here and still have not been but now I know more info thanks to your channel 👍👍
I gifted a Beluga Encounter to my daughter for her 16th birthday and she absolutely loved it. She got to have a close encounter with a seal and get in the water and interact with the belugas. Enjoyed your vlog!!
Thanks Julie!
What a cool place.Ive never been but wanna go there. Nothing like Ripley's aquarium...this looks a whole lot better.thanks for sharing.
This was massive, glad we had a chance to check it out! We hope to go back on a weekday and try one of their experiences!
I was an intern here in 2022 with the sea lions and seals, and let me tell you, the view of whale sharks and manta rays never felt "normal". Best lunchbreak view ever.
The speckled coat guy was a harbor seal, named Toby!
Awesome! I bet it was a great place to have a lunch break!
Ryan and Brie,
Your videos are always so informative and full of great information. They are also always very enjoyable. This looks like a great aquarium. I really enjoy the Ripleys Aqauriuam this one looks just as good. That whale shark is huge. God's glory is seen through His Creation and His amazing creatures. Thanks for another great video. Keep pushing the plow brother.
We hope it helps save people time & money planning to go here, or just enjoy a virtual tour for those who can't. I have been on many diving/snorkeling trips growing up in FL, but this was the first time I have every seen a whale shark in person! God Bless Smoky Mountain Man!
Very informative
Happy to help!
That aquarium is absolutely amazing!!
The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta is really neat!
Ryan n Bre, the Atlanta Aquarium It really super nice, It's so big, I would love to go to that one, Hugs n Love to you all, God Bless, Thank you for sharing this awesome Video
The Georgia Aquarium is really unique! Thanks MsSusie!
Like the reefs and whales that was cool!!
They were!
That is a harbor seal, not a sea lion at 8:04 ;) Sea lions will have solid colored fur and will have visible ears and a overall slim look. Harbor seals often have spotted fur and look like chunky water sausages. Great tour of the aquarium, appreciate the in-depth video!
Thanks!
That's ranked number 1. Reminds me a little of the one Pro Bass built in Springfield. Very cool.
We have been to that one, but that was before we were consistently recording for the channel. I would love to go back to Branson & do a full tour of that place & let the kids experience it too!
@@AdventureIsOutThere We love fairly close to Branson so we go a lot. A fun place but Pigeon Forge wows us.
Love your video! Very informative. Can you share the hotel you stayed at?
Thanks Rosemary! Here was were we stayed: ua-cam.com/video/snxLrk_Q1os/v-deo.html
I dont get a lot of opportunities to travel outside of seeing family. My husband and I are celebrating our first year wedding anniversary to go to this aquarium next month. I'm a aquarium/ocean fanatic and have my own tanks at home. I've been dying to come here for years and its finally gonna happen!💙🐟🐠🐬🐋🐳
Love your videos have you ever been to Springfield Missouri to the Wonders of Wildlife Museum and Aquarium thank you for all your videos my wife and I love them thank you Wayne Underwood
We have but didn’t film it. Would love to go back with the kids & do a full tour video there too! Thanks Wayne!
We love Beluga whales. Those and Manatees are my wife's favorite! I'm partial to Walrus, myself. They crack me up! This aquarium looks amazing. We're going to have to make a trip, maybe next year.
It really is a nice aquarium.
I grew up snorkeling with Manatee's a lot in Florida, I am trying to talk Brie into going down & doing that with our kids someday soon (it's the cold water I have to talk her into 🥶😆)!
@@AdventureIsOutThere crystal river FL has that natural warm spring.. I got certified there in 1992, but I think it might be restricted now.
@@AdventureIsOutThere Wow, that sounds fun. Yeah, you'll have to go in August or September, in which I would assume the water is at its warmest. I snorkeled with a sea turtle in Hawaii...but I'm not good about keeping the water out of the snorkel. I'll stick to looking behind glass at the aquarium, haha!
@@keyman6689 Febuary is peak for when they all head inland to the springs that are warmer, but still chilly water for us (wet suit helps).
Went there on the 17 of January while visiting my grandparents and other extended family and got to dive with the whale sharks I had a lot of fun doing that and would do it again and coincidentally enough I bought that exact same whale shark plush as something to remember swimming with those giant sharks and this aquarium is honestly really incredible as a Georgia native I’m so glad that I get to have something like this in my home state because I’m living in Denver and the aquarium there is complete garbage it’s old, tiny and dirty and is nothing compared to this magical underwater experience
Wow, we would love to come back & dive with the whale sharks! Thanks for sharing Nathan!
HI, thanks for your video! What hotel did you reside in during your vacation and would you recommend it? I'm traveling on spring break God willing and getting over my fear of traveling.
We stayed here: ua-cam.com/video/snxLrk_Q1os/v-deo.html
One other piece of the Aquarium to mention is the Oceans Ballroom upstairs! It’s usually less crowded, has tables and chairs for eating and resting AND has a big window for the beluga whales!
Great point ZM...thanks!
I’m wondering if you could go on Christmas Day or something and have the whole place to yourself. Because it’s normally sooo busy!
I dont know about now but 10 years ago there was a fantastic fish restaurant not far away from the aquarium. I wonder if they have an arrangement with the aquarium?
Not sure?
The World of Coke is wonderful. I haven’t been to the Aquarium but I would like to.
We really enjoyed the Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta! We wanted to try World of cocoa cola, but didn’t Have time this trip. Hopefully next time!
I didn't see any fish sandwiches or sushi offered at the restaurant. 🤔
I’m looking for hotel recommendations, what hotel did you stay at that you were able to walk to the aquarium? How did parking work for the hotel, was it valet? Thanks
Hey Lee Ann. We did a quick tour of the hotel we stayed at. It's in our Atlanta video playlist here: ua-cam.com/play/PLRq0zJxf6i1F2DPmHNbZPQpFBlCvIK0_e.html
Thanks so much!
@@user-bk8od1nw6w 👍
I wasn't expecting to see waterfalls there. I take a lot of pictures and videos of waterfalls and fountains.
👍
No mention of the tiger sharks? They also have multiple whale sharks and mantas
We mentioned the manta rays and sharks in general, we didn't see any tiger sharks at the time.
I been before the dolphin show is so good so if you go you need to sign up
👍
It's been several years since I have been to the Georgia Aquarium. I see it has changed and things added that I haven't seen. I know one year we went there on one of my daughters birthday and she got in for free. I wonder if they are still giving free admission to birthday people on the day of their birthday? Did yall go in the World Of Coke while in Atlanta? I have been in there once. However I will say, when the World Of Coke was located by Underground Atlanta way back, many many years ago, I liked the layout of it better than the one there now. Of course if one has never been to the original one by Underground Atlanta, they would never know the differences in the two.
We thought about going by the World of Coke before going to the NFL game we went to, but would have had to rush through it. We are going to go to that next time we go back to Atlanta TCD.
Now going to dolphin coast can you also go up the stairs?
I believe so, not 100% sure.
At the end of our visit at the ocean, Voyage we saw the whale shark, the manta ray and the green sea turtles all together first, we saw the Manta ray next, we saw the whale shark and last we saw the green sea turtle
👍
Do they allow Mobility Scooters?
They don’t provide them just wheelchairs, but it looks like they don’t disallow them.
😊
I don’t live in Georgia, but I have a trip to the Georgia aquarium
👍
I Came Today To Enjoy My Visit of the Georgia Aquarium so We Will See What These Guy's Have To Offer.
Would love to hear your thoughts after your visit!
The ocean voyage has whale sharks and manta rays
👍
Was the deep sea exhibit only on the second floor, was it quite small? Im tryna write a book on a new deep sea exhibit with all things bioluminescent and alien looking. But I imagine it as a big exhibit with real deep sea creatures like the blob fish. Anything you can tell me on the bioluminescent aspect of the aquarium and how big it is/ what it looks like and ur opinion. Thank you!!
I don't think it was too small...i think it was just more informational areas as I would think it is hard to keep deep sea creatures in captivity very well.
Is the Georgia Aquarium parking fee per hour or per day?
It's a $20 rate for the day.
ive seen the Series and it must be Horrifying to end a Live if its to Sick and even in my Experience with Cats if they be Old it is Heart breaking but i Know its different in a such Job
👍
Btw the sea lion wasn’t there, that’s a seal
👍
We live in Georgia but my son has never been to the Georgia Aquarium.
We really enjoyed it Tisha!
The preferred show seating is a joke
god’s creatures?
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1. We didn't come from the goo to the zoo to you. All of creation has a creator.
I am not impressed
We loved it!
@@AdventureIsOutThere I felt it had a strong commercial/business theme to it.. I wish it had more of a nature inspired decoration and less artificial structure...and Maybe more glass area... Any way this video saved me a long drive and money, I felt like I was there with you guys, well done thanks...I keep going to my fav Dallas world aquarium
