Best time to visit the Georgia Aquarium

Weekday vs Weekend

Mondays to Thursdays are less crowded, especially from January through April, so if you want to get more time to interact with the animals and immerse yourself in the experiences at the aquarium, weekdays would be ideal. Gates open at 9am, so starting your underwater journey early in the day would give you enough time to see the exhibits at your own pace as well. Saturdays and Sundays tend to get crowded, especially during the summer months, with families and children visiting to see the live shows and interactive displays.
