Wow, we had a banner weekend of Atlanta museums. Friday at the art museum, and then Saturday at the Atlanta Aquarium. Not too shabby!
Our new friends, Mike and Erin, had a couple free passes that they let us use so we decided to finally check it out. Luckily the passes also let us hop in the members-only line and skip the two-hour wait in the ticketing line, because I'm not sure we would've made it through that.
Once we got inside, it was huge! There were about six themed sections branching off of the two-story main lobby area. We didn't know where to start, so we just dove in to the exhibit closest to us. We got through about three exhibits in an hour before calling it quits. Partly because we were on a time crunch and partly because I'm pretty sure every child in the state of Georgia was in the aquarium on Saturday. It was a complete mad house.
My suggestion? Definitely leave plenty of time to visit the Atlanta aquarium if you're in the area. But go on a week day during the school year, not a Saturday in the middle of the summer. Unless you have kids and understand or enjoy that kind of craziness. I'm sure we'll appreciate it someday :)
