The Georgia Aquarium is the world's largest Aquarium. Interactive exhibits thrill all ages, you're sure to have the experience of a lifetime.

Great place to go at night

by bbqbilly at Citysearch

The Friday night program at the aquarium is the way to go. There are no crowds, you can buy a wolfgang puck prepared picnic for two for not a whole lot of money, and there is a cash bar at just $3 a bottle for beer (the sign said premium but they "were out."

  • Pros: everything
  • Cons: only domestic beer

  • Pros: Great animals
  • Cons: rather small
