Adult $47.75
Child (ages 3-12) $34.75
Senior (age 55 and up) $39.00
damn thats expensive just to see some fishies! they better have some rides or some shit! haha
well if you go twice then you've basically paid for your season pass...if you go 3 times then you're saving money...just think if your parents come into town and wanna go....or you go with your g/f then a few months later your friends wanna go....you can keep going back for one price
true..it better be good tho
how you been man anyways? hit me up sometime
lol it should be....it's supposed to be insanely advanced and it will have fish that other aquariums don't have...i forgot what the theme is though...like tenn has some non fish species like otters there and then the ones in florida are all about the deep sea and crazy saltwater fish so i dunno what georgia's gonna have...maybe tanks full of bream bass and catfish
coming to an aquarium near you!
oh and other than almost dieing from home depot exaustion i am great
so you workin at the depot now?
yep me and Arthur are like this ---
Cool. I didn't know that they had one here. I may go. Cool. Thanks for sharing that, Cliffy.

lol me & kristi were walking to the arena last weekend for the game and i saw the aquarium but i ddint know what it was...i was like why the hell does that building have a 'g' with a fish tale...yeah i felt like a jackass

ahahahahahhahahahahaha
I believe they have 2 Whale Sharks which are the first ever in captivity...
If you know what a Whale Shark is you know how fucking ridiculous it is going to be to see them up close. They're like 40 feet long.
they just got 2 beluga whales also...and yea the whale sharks will be 2 of the first ones ever in captivity and that will be reason enough to go to the aquarium...not many people get to see whale sharks in their lifetime and we will have 2 in our city
The fish, one 15 feet 6 inches, and the other 13 feet total length, were considered suitable for transport to Atlanta, and took an 18-hour ride on a UPS plane to their new home at the Georgia Aquarium. The fish were flown more than 8,000 miles, under the care and supervision of Georgia Aquarium professional staff, on a UPS B-747 freighter from Taipei, Taiwan, through Anchorage to Atlanta.
oh and the Aquarium will have a restraunt and ballroom (nudge nudge next ia halloween party) so that would be awesome cause i assume it will be very nice, expensive and the aquarium glass will be the walls for the restraunt which will be a cool environment....anyways it would make a good anniversary date place
actually sounds pretty cool..def gonna check it out...oh and tell arthur to hook me up with some falcons tix!!!
will do...i think we are going out with some friends of his and the falcons cheerleaders next weekend...i'll be sure to drop your name drew...btw are box seats fine?
i wanna swim with the whale sharks!
fuck box seats..i wanna stand on the field!
hmmm i may need to wait until he get's some liquor into him before asking that one...arthur really doesn't like people on his front yard
Wolfgang Puck is in charge of the catering and the restraunt at the aquarium
Large viewing windows into the Aquarium’s aquatic habitats are found in the 16,400 sq. ft. Aquarium ballroom, which anchors the Aquarium event space. The ballroom can service 1,100 for a seated dinner and up to 1,800 for a reception. More intimate spaces are available for private gatherings, and the entire Aquarium accommodates up to 10,000 for larger events. WPC will maintain a full-service catering operation, including a kosher kitchen on site.
Chuck Banicki, formerly General Manager of the American Museum of Natural History for Restaurant Associates, will oversee the 250-seat Café Aquaria, located on the Aquarium’s atrium level. According to Banicki, Café Aquaria will have a selection of “Best in Class” café stations featuring local and national favorites and appealing to a broad range of tastes.
“Each food station will have a signature item, kid’s meals will be served in fun Café Aquaria bags and guests will enjoy an open kitchen at each station,” Banicki said.
The food area will include:
The Grill, featuring hamburgers and chicken quesadillas
Naples Pizza and Pasta, with signature pizza and pastas
Buckhead Bread, Buckhead Life Restaurant Group’s spinoff of its popular Buckhead Bread Company concept, featuring soups, salads and sandwiches crafted on fresh baked bread
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, including a signature “Deepo” cookie honoring the Aquarium’s lovable mascot.
This thing will be definitely worth it. I have been inside of it twice already and it is amazing. I also have passes through my job. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
damn you guys almost talked me into gettin passes...will be able to get into the restaurant without paying admission
Drew if you've ever been to the Tennessee Aquarium and seen how awesome that is you should just imagine that one was built what about 15 years ago or more...it's that old and still awesome and this one will be the baddest one and all advanced technology and newly discovered species...and species that are just beginning to be able to be kept in captivity....dude this is def worth the price
i got 2 season passes for 43 bucks each.. : )
Season pass? no.... it's an aquarium, not a water park. i plan on going once when it opens... maybe going again sometime if they have something new and cool.
on a side note... i want to see a damn blue whale, dont suppose they have any of those in a fish tank do they? lol
^^ LOL..One of those would probably break the damn tank
My step dad was one of the big wigs in charge of building that thing, I am geeting to go b4 it opens to the public...I have seen pictures from the inside (tanks b4 fish and such) it looks awesome, and I cannot wait for it. I will definately buy the seasons pass, if nothing else it will be good to go and clear y head if needed, ya know.
