We are currently looking at 10am on Tuesday, 4-14 (although we are not locked in to this day and time.) If anyone has any tips or suggestions re the Aquarium (such as the best day of the week or time to go, etc.) I would love to hear them.Thanks,Mike Randolph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 I always take my son during the week just in time for the aquarium to open.It is not many people around this time.However around 11:00am it get crowded. I ask one of the staff on the aquarium what other time would be a good choice to come with my son (autistic) they say around 4:00pm and 10:00am they don't have many people as other times.We always start with the touch pools first right on your right when you come in at the Aquarium.This way he can touch the stingrays and bonnethead shark without fitting for space with other people. After that I like to go to the tropical diver on the other side. We go to the Aquarium about 10 times during the year. Take Care! A.Simon, "I know God promises not to give me more than I can handle.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 HI, We went and had a ball. It did get really crowded after 11:00 but luckily we got there early and saw most of the exhibts before lunch. The movie for us was worth it. We were not sure how our son would do but he ended up loving it. Some one told me that the seals can get kind of loud and to avoid that area. We did see the seals but on the day we went the seals stayed in the water. Hope you have a blast Subject: Georgia AquariumTo: autism-georgia Date: Monday, March 30, 2009, 2:57 PM My wife and I are thinking about taking our 2.75 year old ASD son to the Georgia Aquarium.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 We went last week. The seals exhibit has been removed due to construction and now you can go on a small tour (check at the Customer Service desk )and see them at the back. It was not noisy. It does get more crowded from Friday-Monday so try to avoid that ad try to be there before they open. Also buy your tickets online the day before you go so you don’t have to line up for tickets that morning with everyone else.
