Skip the Line Tours

How long are the queues at Georgia Aquarium?

Georgia Aquarium is one of the most popular aquariums in the world, welcoming 2.5 to 3 million guests per year. The waiting time in ticketing lines during peak season can cross an hour. Without a pre-booked ticket, you will have to wait at the ticketing counter, followed by a security check to enter the aquarium.

The Georgia Aquarium skip-the-line ticket puts you directly at the security check and fast-tracks your entry to the aquarium so you can begin your day of exploration as early as possible.
