3. Take tips from tourism experts.
b. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are the least crowded times.
c. Visit early or late in the day to avoid the busiest times.
d.Plan your visit around free activities offered throughout the day.
II. Interactive Dive Shows : Tropical Diver and Ocean Voyager galleries have divers that answer visitors questions while underwater.
III. Animal Feedings: Check out computer screens outside each gallery with daily feeding times for marquee animals.
4. 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!
"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.
5. Make the most of family time.

ReplyDeleteWhenever you return back home Alli make sure to visit the Georgia Aquarium.
DeleteI am a huge planner, so I completely agree with you about researching beforehand - just to get everyone pumped up!
ReplyDeleteI'm like you, I always do my research beforehand when I'm planning my trips.
DeleteI second Danialle above: Plan, plan, plan!!! That is the only way to travel -- whether you are alone or plus one -- but when you have kids in tow, that is the ONLY way to go!
ReplyDeleteYou got that right Courtney, especially when you're traveling with children.
