Skip the ticket line at Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta and explore eight galleries, whale sharks, touch pools, plus dolphin and sea lion shows.
“I took my granddaughter to the Aquarium, and she enjoyed every bit of it...the food was very expensive thought I paid $50 for a pizza, chicken tenders, fries, and a drink the price should have been half that amount.”
Skip-the-line entry to Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, with dolphin and sea lion shows, eight galleries, and major species up close.
“As always you may think that it is expensive to enter the aquarium, how ever once you enter you will understand how beautiful and organized they have this facility. First things first, book the shows ASAP and plan your route around the shows.”
Florida Aquarium ticket in Tampa: free-flying birds, a 500,000-gallon reef gallery, 3 touch pools, and MORPH'D. Skip the line.
“We had a good time but 110.00 for 3 people is a lot of money for what we saw we walked thru it twice in 1.5 hours. We stopped at multiple exhibits and stood for minutes listening to the guides. That’s a lot of money for 1.5 hours of self guided tour they do have a place to eat and a gift shop to burn up more time and money but I think that 20-25 is a better cost for self guided tour per person. I’m mean students over 13 had to pay adult prices. They should have a student k through 12 price and give parents a discount”
Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay: 360 tunnel, shipwreck scenes, stingray touch pool, plus Undersea Explorer VR. Tickets $29.
“it was a great Aquarium but maybe the VR experience should include the sea creatures that were in the actual aquarium”
Florida Aquarium Tampa general admission for about 2 to 3 hours, from Wetlands Trail otters to Stingray Beach touch pool.
“Definitely less expensive than buying elsewhere online! Took a little while to get started, but went smoothly”
Skip the ticket line at Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. See 12,000 animals across 500 exhibits, plus penguins, sharks, and lorikeets.
“We've been members since the aquarium opened. We send you an additional contribution every year. I could find -NOTHING- on the website that gave members any special options, so I just bought 4 tickets. At one time Members could get in for free. Is that over with?”
Skip-the-line New England Aquarium with African penguins, a giant coral reef tank, sea lions, and an optional Simons Theatre film.
“Really enjoyed our trip to the Boston Aquarium. Enjoyed viewing the different varieties of fishes and other creatures who live in the ocean.”
Skip the line at Boston’s New England Aquarium and explore penguins, jellyfish in the Giant Ocean Tank, and coral reef exhibits for $39.
“Really enjoyed our first visit to the New England Aquarium. There were lots of people there yet to didn’t seem too crowded. Would recommend purchasing tickets ahead of time to avoid the long line.”
Madame Tussauds and SEA LIFE Orlando combo: wax celebrities, DC Justice League fun, Florida’s 360-degree tunnel, and a sea touch pool.
“the combo was excellent especially if you want to both would recommend. The aquarium was brilliant at the end you get to touch starfish madame tussauds was good.”
One pass for up to 5 days of Chicago icons, including Shedd Aquarium plus SkyDeck Chicago, 360 Chicago, Navy Pier, and tours.
“We spent 5 days in Chicago and only had to pay for one thing we wanted to do. Everything else was either covered by the Go Chicago Card or free.”
Go City Chicago All-Inclusive Pass with 30+ spots like 360 Chicago, SkyDeck, Shedd Aquarium, and an architecture cruise, save up to 50%.
“The card was nice to have. However, it didn't get us through any quicker on our trip to the Ledge. And one day is not long enough to do enough activities to pay for the card. We paid $99 and only spent $47 on activities. But if a person starts early, they can take in three activities and get quite a discount, plus you get a discount at some restaurants.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
