by Michelle S. on I attended a private event function at the Georgia Aquarium. We had access to most of the exhibits at the aquarium (not the 3D show). According to the website for the facility, an adult general admission ticket is $26.00. That seems pretty reasonable to me. The exhibits were beautiful, easily viewed by many people at one time and the facility was clean and quite stunning in scale and scope of presentation. Even with hundreds of my colleagues milling around in a party-type atmosphere, the place has a calm feel to it and I think it would be worth the price of admission to just hang out for awhile. (Of course, it WAS a private event, and there were no children in the place at all, so take that into consideration.) The big tanks - and there are several - are very impressive. There are snippets of information about the species posted on the walls but it didn't come across as overly "educational", rather as a calm retreat. I think it's worth the time to make at least one visit to the Georgia Aquarium. Say you've been there, done that.
by Lisa B. on This place has to get five stars because its an Atlanta landmark. If you come to Atlanta to visit this is one stop you have to be sure to make. I have been here once, not sure that I will ever make it back again, but I had the most fantastic time. This place is run down and quite a freak show, but that is what makes it entertaining. Even more entertaining is the women's rest room. It is literally just one toilet with no privacy and a sink. Everyone can see what you are doing. This is not for those who are shy or who have not had ample alcohol added to their blood stream. There is a line and yes, if I am in line in front of you you may give me a dollar and I will let you pee before me. This almost incited a riot when I was there but I don't care. If you gotta pee bad enough you'll give me a buck to cut in line...or you can be like the total skank who just decided to pee in the corner on the carpet. And if you need a light for your smoke, that's also going to cost you a dollar. But if you are drinking and need that nicotine it's gonna be worth the price. Ahhhh...fun times at the Clermont...
by Heather Colan on I was telling my therapist yesterday that I was really pissed off that I couldn't seem to meet a man. She asked me how I was going about it. "oh the usual," I told her, "love spells, candle lighting, chanting, you know, that kind of stuff." "okay," she sighed with her blank slate face, "that's one way to go about it, but you might also try leaving your apartment." "leaving my apartment?" "why not?" she asked me. "hmmm, why not?" I answered So, I decided to cast a love spell and leave my aparment and meet my future husband. I said goodnight to Dieter and headed for Harry Denton's Starlight room. I mean, where else would one go to meet the future husband? So, I get in and am immediately greeted by a 60 year old German man. "My dog is German!" I tell him, "where are you from?" "Berlin," he tells me. "oh," I sigh, "Dieter is from Leipzig." "Can this Dieter, can this dieter buy you a drink?" he asked. "no, dieter doesn't carry money around with her. she doesn't like purses." "Well then I will buy you a drink!" he tells me. I then proceeded to drink the nastiest martini ever. I got so mad that I left. I didn't even get the dude's name. But I can't wait until our wedding.
