One of the best exhibits - The aquarium and insectarium are small, but their exhibits are some of the best I’ve ever seen. The butterflies are breathtaking—there are so many of them flying freely around you. You can explore and see so much there. I would allow about 3–4 hours for a visit.

Excellent choice for a natural adventure - Outstanding experience and well worth the admission fee. I would do it again. It rivals the Atlanta Aquarium but New Orleans has some really nice smaller exhibits and the insectarium was amazing.

Good price- saved us some dollars!! - Viator saved us over $40 on a family of 4 adults and 2 small children. We spent about 2.5 hrs touring the aquarium and insectarium. Pictures are taken as you enter, but can be purchased after the Insectarium with "bugs" background or after the aquarium with fish and sharks background. Pictures are $30. We enjoyed ourselves immensely!!

Viator is my new best friend! - The aquarium was great and there was much to see. Went here on a date and I think my date liked it more than me lol! It was perfect and finding these tickets cheaper on Viator was a steal! So happy I kept looking for discounts. These tickets gave me no trouble at all which was something I was worried about, but the QR code worked just fine. 10/10 do recommend!

Audubon Aquarium - The Aquarium is a great adventure, air conditioned, and definitely worth visiting. I actually enjoyed the insectarium, and thought the marine exhibits were well displayed. And there are two restaurants !

Not Atlanta - Very small aquarium. I love the interactive part with stingray and shark. They start off with you having to go through a shop and finish with you having to go through a different shop. Thought the insectarium cafeteria was very creative but also eew . Cafeteria forgot to make our food . Then left out items.
