What travellers are saying
- Andrew NHendersonville, NC211 contributionsThe best aquarium we have been to. Huge variety of marine life and the exhibits are absolutely amazing. They have staff in certain areas talking about the marine life and available for questions which is a nice touch. All of the exhibits were great. The tanks are all huge with multiple viewing areas including underneath which gives you a fully immersive experience. Take your time and be sure to take in the view from all the various viewpoints.Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kate AltickAugusta, GA174 contributionsThe Atlanta Botanical Garden is GORGEOUS, I can't believe I have never come here before. I went for the Alice in Wonderland special exhibition because I am a huge fan of the story and characters, and it was absolutely amazing. I will definitely be back. There is so much to see, and after 4 hours there we still didn't see everything. It was so peaceful but was also exciting enough to hold our attention. Truly a delight.Written 3 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Andrew NHendersonville, NC211 contributionsA lot of interesting history and memorabilia. The tasting area where you taste beverages from around the world was the best part. We were there around Christmas time and it was beautifully decorated.Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jerrys01Bel Air, MD652 contributionsMy wife, daughter and I attended a performance of 'Twas the Night, presented by one of the Cirque du Soleil troupes. I loved the classical appearance of the theater. The lobby area reminded me of some of the European opera houses. We sat in the orchestra area, which was enormous. The seats were pretty comfortable, and the legroom was reasonable. My only complaint is that the theater has to use Ticketmaster for getting tickets, so the surcharges were very high.Written 17 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GeorgiaPeach!Columbus, GA41 contributionsIt was a gloomy day with the rain and the snow melting but it was very lovely. The carousel was $3 and the train ride too.

- smokeylinksMarco Island, FL51 contributionsI would say that there was very little of politics and a lot of factual history presented in a dramatic and entertaining way. It is very well done.Written 2 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CharlieV2011Chicago, IL2,318 contributionsThis museum has a ton of interesting exhibits and information to learn from. Visitors can easily spend over 3 hours here. Once tickets were purchased, I did a stroll through the beautiful gardens, then visited the Swan House, which was beautiful (I wrote a separate review for the Swan House). Then, I went inside and had coffee at the nice coffee shop and then visited the exhibits inside. Inside are great exhibits on the history of Atlanta and the Civil War. Lastly, there is a gift shop that sells nice souvenirs. I was greatly impressed on this museum and really enjoyed my visit!Written 28 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RC_luv2trvlWaxhaw, NC32 contributionsGood history. Well designed library makes for easy viewing. Lovely surrounding grounds. Easy parking. Good value. I visited on a weekday and there were maybe 5-10 others visiting. Also, I just happened to visit one week before the unfortunate passing of Jimmy Carter :(Written 11 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KevinMountain View, CA292 contributionsWe stopped by for a little bit after visiting the Atlanta Botanical Garden, which is right next door. Lots of people around, and got some nice pictures of the scenery. Definitely a good place to stop and relax.Written 1 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
