- D. H.11 contributionsEveryone desires prom at the Georgia Aquarium, but if your school prom can't be as awesome as mine, please don't miss an opportunity to spend an amazing day in this aquatic sanctuary. Ticket prices are reasonable. Try to catch the shows and unique petting experiences.Written 15 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A must.Written 15 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We even thought about scrapping it and losing our money. But, our day plans left us with a gap and we decided to try it. So glad we did. It was great for young kids with no expectations and a blossoming appreciation of Legos. It is not Legoland like the parks in CA and FL, and if you’ve been to those, this will be a let down. But, it’s a fun 1-2 hours of Lego themed experiences with two rides, a building/race track area, a climbing area, a virtual reality experience and an awesome city display of Atlanta and the surrounding area. Our kids loved it. I’m glad we gave it a shot.Written 1 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- 2bostons2pplTampa, FL61 contributionsWe visited the Atlanta History Center and it was nice. The main center had some nice exhibits. The Cyclorama was good. They play a 12 minute video that goes over the history of the Cyclorama and it's changes which was very good. My only complaint was that they did not have any museum maps and instead refer you to just look for signs or use the QR code to bring up a map. I tried a couple of different locations for the QR code and neither worked. I've used QR codes before so I know how they work. I had to just bring up the map on my cell phone from their website. The signs were not very specific as to where to go to get to the other buildings though so it would be nice if they could improve that. I liked that the parking was free. They have a cafe located in the museum that seemed very busy with locals that sold a couple of premade sandwich options and soups. I was hoping to grab a quick lunch there but the turkey sandwich came with jalapeno mayo which is how I found out the sandwiches are pre made as I asked for it without and was told they couldn't do it. I passed on the soup since it August in Hotlanta. We went on a Friday and it wasn't very busy. There were lots of places to sit and rest.Written 8 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Clement_H1234Sarasota, FL22 contributionsExcellent experience, but they used to give a Coca Cola bottle made on-site at the end but they no longer are doing it. Disappointing as you can’t even purchase one if you’d want to.Written 9 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DJKAcworth, GA396 contributionsWhat an awesome place, we came here for the Luke Combs concert. We had floor tickets and other than having to enter in entrance 1. It was actually easy to get our wrist band. I would recommend to go up over level for more food choices and drink choices. They did have drinks and food for floor section. Just very limited, not impressed. Up one level, had such an incredible selection of food and alcohol. Fantastic sound and views of the stage!Written 5 August 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MemphisZGermantown, TN265 contributionsThe Atlanta Zoo is working hard to use the land they have acquired, and modernize exhibits. They have a few great exhibits: the Giant Pandas, the space for the baboons, the Sun bear overlook. The new elephant center was fantastic even though we never saw an elephant there.
This was first week of March and for some reason the giraffes and elephants were not out. No orangutans out. No rhinos. But the baboons, lions, tigers,red panda and giant panda were all visible.
The Zoo has a good selection to see beyond what I mentioned. Reptile house, monkeys, and play areas for example.
We went back in June and everyone was out and active!Written 20 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- davidLone Pine, CA4 contributionsWe had a great time at Truist. Food options are great and staff helpful.
One issue we had was shuttle service from N29 parking. No clear signs about where to go to board shuttle.Written 14 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Historical information presented in a fun fashion that all ages would enjoy.
