by Ayumi S. on I went last night..and noo it isn't my first time, but it's ALWAYS a good time at Highlands! Except one night..it was like Middle Eastern night (no offense) but it really was. It was some celebration or something, that..I didn't enjoy much because they also played that music..and idk how I'm supposed to dance to that.. ANYWAY..last night was PACKED. And, if you're underage..and you're drinking..and you're making it obvious..they're going to kick your ass out and wont let you back in for whatever reason. It wasn't me..but just a warning haha. So don't be stupid. They played good music..the crowd was mostly Asians..of course..and I had a pretty damn good time! Met some guys from Japan who couldn't speak any English..so my friend and I got all excited and started conversating with them in Japanese..yeah we're cool haha. Thursdays are the best days to go :) Go check it out!
by Ami M. on I don't know how they can claim that they have "the biggest aquarium in the world." We went there thinking that you needed more than a day to enjoy the whole place. But, we were done in less than 3 hours. I think it's TOO COMMERCIALIZED, what with all the ads of Home Depot, UPS, etc. There was more info about the sponsors rather than the species in display. For a "biggest aquarium", they sure lack the capacity to accommodate large crowds of visitors. I found it difficult to maneuver a stroller around so I'm thinking it must also be difficult for folks in wheelchairs, too. There was something about the lay-out that makes you feel as if you're being rushed to finish viewing the marine creatures. It's impossible to stop and stand to appreciate because other guests just keep on coming and blocking the view. It's not their fault; it's the only way that they can get through toward the next exhibit. It certainly isn't a take-your-time kind of aquarium like Shedd Aquarium in Chicago or Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. Those were truly educational ones and clearly, one day isn't enough to soak up all the information they have to offer. Sure, the tunnel is cool but I've seen better tunnels in other aquariums such as the Shark Reef in Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas. They have this theater-like viewing room, which is unique but I still think it could be improved. For the hefty admission price that they charge, you'd expect shows, demonstrations or the lot. But no, once you enter, you'll find yourself spending even more on their food, souvenirs, and possible claustrophobia. Georgia Aquarium may have the largest species of fish but it has the smallest rating for aquariums from me. Last visit: 4/07
