If you're short on time, you can experience the best of the Georgia Aquarium in about 2 to 3 hours. Cover the must-see exhibits like Ocean Voyager, where whale sharks glide overhead, Cold Water Quest with its playful sea otters, and Dolphin Coast for a thrilling dolphin presentation.
Plan a full day, say 5 to 6 hours, for a more immersive visit. This allows you to explore additional galleries, catch multiple live shows, and even participate in interactive experiences like the Shark & Ray Encounter. Be sure to take breaks and enjoy the café—there’s a lot to see, and pacing yourself makes the experience even better!
