Love this place

The only thing that would make it better is if I could live here

Fantastic fish and fun!

This was the best experience! I would advise you to arrive as soon as they open as it can be a bit crowded as the day goes on. The exhibits are well lit, so much to see and read. There is something for kids and adults here. Be sure to buy the dolphin experience tickets when you buy your entry ticket to the aquarium. Wear comfortable shoes, by the time we left I had walked almost 7,000 steps. It was a fun way to spend a few hours with family. Definitely download the app, makes checking in at the entrance better

App is broken

After login the app crashes and just displays a cute sea lion photo with Opps. Refresh doesn’t do anything. Have to uninstall and reinstall app to get out of the OPPS crash page but every time I login the app crashes again. Useless!!!

Response from developer

Thank you for letting us know, and we’re really sorry for the frustration you experienced. That definitely wasn’t the experience we want anyone to have (even if the sea lion is pretty cute). This issue was caused by a login bug that has now been resolved in our latest app update. Please make sure you’re running the most recent version of the Georgia Aquarium app, then log in again — everything should work smoothly now. If you continue to have any trouble, our team would be happy to help at hello@georgiaaquarium.org so we can get you back to exploring without interruption. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to see you back in the app soon!

Broken functionality

The app is great….until you log in. Then, it stops working altogether and just displays an error, “oops”

Response from developer

Hi there — thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry you ran into this issue after logging in. That “oops” error was caused by a login bug that has since been resolved. Please update to the latest version of the Georgia Aquarium app and try logging in again. If you continue to experience any trouble, our team is happy to help at hello@georgiaaquarium.org so we can get things swimming smoothly again. Thank you for your patience, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!

App is really buggy

Got my aqua pass and first reservation and now the app is stuck on the oops screen and won’t reload at all! It’s been glitching so bad as of late that I almost gave up getting my pass.

Response from developer

We truly appreciate your patience and are so glad you chose to become an Aqua Pass holder. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Error every time now

Can’t login to the app anymore, checked to make sure it’s updated, and just keep getting an oops error and told to refresh. Very frustrating

Can’t login… or do anything anymore

It was useful for the sake of booking a single reservation as an Aqua Pass member, then immediately after booking it kept showing an “Oops” page and wouldn’t let me load the app again. After closing and opening the app multiple times (and trying on a different phone!) it still continues to show the same page. While I’m sure it offers some utility beyond just making reservations, I won’t know because I can’t even access the app anymore. It definitely needs UI/functionality updates if the app continues to exist altogether.

Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the frustration you experienced. We understand how disappointing it is to successfully make a reservation and then lose access to the app entirely.

So easy to use!

The new app is amazing! It’s so easy to use and I love being able to manage my tickets and Aqua Pass reservations in one place now and see an itinerary for my day when I have a visit scheduled. This update is soooo much better.

A must-have for every Aquarium visit!

The redesign is beautiful and the app feels faster and more intuitive. The personalized itinerary and quick access to reservations make planning my day so much easier. Huge improvement!

was able to buy ticket

i was able to buy my ticket

App is the least functional app I’ve used

The app is impossible to navigate. You simply cannot buy tickets on the app. Then once you buy them without the app, there is literally NO WAY to connect your tickets to your app so adding excursions and everything else doesn’t work. Forget about it.

Newly Optimized

I think most of the negative reviews are just old the app works great now

Worst app I’ve ever use

App and the mobile website are the least user friendly I’ve ever used (I am gen z and technically literate). Can’t find the shopping cart but it doesn’t matter because your tickets didn’t save to the cart anyway. Cant edit user account information, frequently caught in a loop to buy tickets. 0/10

Horrible APP

I bought a year pass 06/20024, installed app so everything would go smoothly. First off, it doesn’t stay logged in, when you do get logged in, it doesn’t even remember you have an annual pass. Found the barcode, had it scanned, still had to prove I had pass by showing my email. Brought family, couldn’t get the discount for them. Scanned my parking pass to get discount, it didn’t work but an attendant was able to give pass holder parking discount not with my barcode though. Hopefully it works next time because I can’t find the emai. I checked for an app update and there was none. This review is only for the app. The Aquarium animals & employees are awesome!

Just White Screens

Works great when I download it but the moment I try to login to my account it just white screens and I can’t do anything else even after closing and reopening the app

Doesn’t work

Your app is not working. I’ve deleted and downloaded it. Turned my phone off and on. It just goes to a blank white screen. I have an iPhone 12 Pro.

Doesn’t work, so can’t access tickets

The app worked earlier last year, but late last year started going white screen as soon as I log in. Can’t access anything, so I’ve decided to spend my membership money somewhere else and I won’t be renewing my membership.

Calendar bug

The app is full of bugs - the calendar is wrong, you choose a date and in the end there is another date to buy

Horrible App

I tried to register. It allows me to add all my information. However I click submit; nothing. Just frozen. Tired 4 times. I deleted this app. You’d think as much as it cost to visit this aquarium they would have a decent working app.

app showing a white screen after login

having the same issue others are reporting - i log into my account and i just see a blank white screen. tried deleting and redownloading and i tried logging in again it’s still doing the same thing. disappointed.
