Nothing special in my opinion. We thought it was going to be really big by the description, but is's very small, nothing exciting.

We have visited the aquarium with our kids (aged 8, 5, 3). We all loved it. Family ticket cost us €34. After reading previous reviews I was a bit unsure if the place is really worth visiting, but now I can say for sure: it is. And I will return.
The kids loved it. Touching the fish, feeding it and...

This is a great place for kids on a wet day. Although it is quite small, you can easily spend a couple of hours in it.

The environment was very laid back because it isnt usually very busy, but the workers were very helpful. It was nice to be able to take your time through an aquarium unlike America

Helps children of all ages appreciate the natural resources of the sea life all around us. On the way in to Salt Hill where children can then climb down to the sea and continue the discovery on their own.

the price is very unreasonable for what they provided. The aquarium is very small and it's not worth the amount of money they ask. Get a coupon if you go.

I had been to the Atlantaquaria before a few years ago but went this time for my sons birthday party. It was a great day. The tour guide showed us around all the exhibits and made the tour both fun and informative. He was friendly and great with the kids. The children loved touching the fish in the ray pool...
