Had not been here in several years, so my husband and I went to celebrate his birthday. We knew…read morethere would be lots of children (even on a Tuesday), but I just kept reminding myself that it was great to see kids getting excited about nature. It was a mostly good experience, but our appreciation of the amazing animals was really compromised by several things: 1. The aggressive marketing for Margaritaville (the dolphin show sponsor). Throughout our experience, we were approached by people representing this company - often sort of disguised as aquarium guides. By the time we got to the dolphin show, we had just had too much... then when we walked out of the theater, we really wanted to go over and see the spoonbills, but we were MOBBED by Margaritaville people. We literally ran away from them, almost screaming. After paying over $50 for a ticket, we really did not appreciate this at all. 2. The OUTRAGEOUS prices for on-site food. You order on a kiosk in a cafeteria setting. We were hungry, but we just could not bring ourselves to spend that kind of money on mediocre food and drinks. 3. My criticism of the aquarium after its grand opening still stands: there is just not enough information about the animals in the tanks. In many cases there's just one sign identifying one species, or screens showing slides of some of the species. And there are often docents hanging around who can answer questions. But I always really want to know more about ALL the species in a given tank, and I've never been sure why that information is not more readily available. Aside from things like this, it's a great place to see beautiful animals.

I was fortunate to find a code so admission was free but I had pay to feed the animals which was reasonably priced. However with little ones we ran through those tokens so fast because they were overly excited once they realized they could feed the fish ducks and goat. The goats are where most of our time was spent lol. You can pay $20 or 10 tokens to hold animals in different locations. There's a gift shop in the back which I was thankful it was tucked away and not having to walk through it while leaving so tantrums were avoided. Like other reviews yes it's fairly warm but I just figured it's to keep the animals comfortable and I dealt with it, it didn't make or break my experience just bring some water with you. Also yes the smell as soon as you walk in punches you in your nose but you go nose blind after awhile. Every staff member from the front desk to those walking around has awesome customer service interacting with My kids and I and explaining what they were doing with the animals. We will definitely be back soon!

Hot and smells. SeaQuest is located at Stonecrest Mall. We arrived at 1 and the line was pretty…read morelong. The smell coming from the farm animals really just hits you right in the face when you enter. I wore a cardigan over a tank top and was sweating. There's so many people and very little air conditioning. Yikes. You can smell everyone's body odor. I purchased my tickets online and received my wrist bands. We also bought 15 tokens for about $32 so my kids can interact with the animals. It's cheaper to buy from the token machines inside. Save your money, don't get tokens at all. The amount of animal feed you get is very little. I'm talking about 1 tsp size. Like 2 pebbles for the farm animals, but I understand why they do this. The animals are getting feed all day long. Our first stop was to feed the catfishes. When I say there is a lot of people. There was A LOT of people. I feel like the SeaQuest was really understaffed. Parents were allowing their kids to run around in the turtle inclosure. There was no staff in sight. Poor thing was getting chased by kids. Same thing for the iguana. The only animal interaction my kids enjoyed was the parakeets. It was 1 token per person and you spend about 2-5 mins inside. I would not come back and do not recommend.

Loads of photogenic spots to get great ig shots!! It's too busy to really sit and read the cool facts in the secret recipe section but regardless it was fun to check out. They do a nice introduction before you go into the museum and play a movie to warm you up wich I found touching and a great way to welcome you into the Coca Cola world! There is a cool sniff exhibit where you test your sense of smell and another where you write letters to coke! The gift shop is overflowing with all sorts of things to bring home to remember your time! Photos there are expensive. Is this a must do in Atlanta? Sort of. If you have the time and money do it, if you're pressed and have to make choices don't.

Yes, I know all the negatives:…read more It's a testament to obesity and pre-diabetes. It's a shrine to unchecked capitalism and leans into imperialism (the net effects of Coca-Cola throughout the world are... not great. The literal world). The propaganda that makes up 50-70% of the museum is Orwellian in its hypnotic suggestive effect. I know this. I know all of this. My left-wing principles cried out to experience what I claim to despise. But. BUT. BUT!!! All that goes out the window when you're faced with all-you-can-drink Coca-Cola products from around the world. Maybe those initial addictive* ingredients are still a part of the secret recipe. Maybe there's something about the smell/sound/sight/fizz/taste that lights up ones lizard brain and won't be satisfied with anything other than a distended belly full of sugary corn syrup. Perhaps nostalgia can override cognition. Who knows. All I know is that when I got to the end of the tour and saw station after station of brown, black, red, purple, blue (!) liquid and knew that the only limit to my gluttony was the capacity of my human body... something... broke? I had to try them all. Pokemon had nothing on me. And a taste wouldn't do. Not even if I didn't care for it... not even if I had had it before (somehow, somewhere)... I needed a cup. A full cup. Berries. Apples. Ginger. Florals. Appertifs. Genuinely horrible tasting stuff. I.Had.It.All. and I wanted -- no -- I demanded more. (Point of order: I can fully attest to the bad decisions I made (I regret nothing) but I'm a grown-a$$ man. To the parents bringing your kids in here to run around, get hopped up on God knows what and begin a descent into altered brain patterns that will show themselves more clearly in the years to come... shame on you. What are you thinking? There needs to be a test prior to parenthood.) Long story/review short: 'Taste It' will change your life and become the only leg you'll need to stand on. Man, I'm thirsty.

The best pricing for a party of four was on Groupon, so that's what we used. The ride includes four rotations. I was surprised at how quickly the ride moves, even though it was a reasonable pace. The pods are temperature controlled, and have an emergency call button in case someone needs to exit early. The button alerts the staff on the ground, and they will stop the ride to let you off on the next rotation. It was pretty empty when we were there. They have upsell items that we were not interested in: a single rose for $10, a teddy bear for $15, and souvenir pictures on a themed backdrop. To exit the attraction, you walk through the area where your pictures would be and a patio where there are stands to buy snack foods and sweet treats.

Today I called multiple times and got either a busy signal or no answer. I was calling because I live 40 minutes away and wanted to know if they had the fish I wanted in stock. I finally got through this afternoon and asked if they had the particular fish. She repeated the name of the fish and said I don't think I have those in stock. I told her thank you and was about to hang up, but heard another employee in the background say that they did have some in stock so she said yeah, we have a few. This is a schooling fish so I needed to know if a few meant 3 or 8. By her reaction she was obviously exasperated that she had to go look. She put me on hold, came back and to told me they had 5 or 6. I asked the price and thought that would be that, but she responded with "I don't know. We are really busy and helping customers in the store so call back later and maybe someone can help you". I hung up thinking, no ma'am, I won't be calling back because I'm not going to support a store that treats their customers like it's a burden to help them.
