There was a long full line no way to avoid the crowd. Luckily the people allowed me to walk through the crowd to find any helpful guide. The guides were at the far end of the line one should have been at the beginning of the line to direct or to make sure Skip the line payee's were able to move forward The anxiety level rose when I needed to park ,walk and seen the line so long I just knew I was going to be turned away if we were 10 mins late a stipulation on the website What was special ?, we were able to get inside and my grand children and great granddaughter enjoyed the exhibits

Good: I really liked the sharks, beluga whales and jellyfish. The exhibition is very nice, it's best to download the map for orientation directly at the info point. Bad: The "land animals" penguins will never see the sun or smell real air in their lives. The flamingos looked "sad"

I really enjoyed the ease of being able to book my ticket to the Atlanta Georgia Aquarium from the Delta Airlines flight while flying back from Johannesburg, South Africa, on the direct flight to Atlanta, Georgia. I was over the Atlantic ocean planning my 6-hour layover break. I was able to easily make my way from the International terminal on the internal airport tram to ground transportation, get to the Georgia Aquarium on Baker street, from the booking, and skip to the front of the line for a picture and easily enter the aqarium using the booking barcode. Of course, the aquarium information desk was very helpful in directing me to the main exhibits and I was able to see all and get back on time, for my direct Delta flight on to San Diego. What a magical experience!
