October 15th - December 31st Me & Mommy Georgia Aquarium Tickets for only $20

Location: Georgia Aquarium - Blackout dates apply.  Blackout dates are Nov. 28, Dec. 26 and Dec. 29-31.

We know it’s not always easy for moms (and dads and caregivers!) to take everyone on an exciting adventure (hello, gas prices!), and the Georgia Aquarium wants to help. We have put together the best Aquarium offer ever, and we have reserved it just for you!

 

For only $20, the Me & Mommy ticket includes Aquarium admission for one adult, free admission for children 5 and under and free parking ($10 value). This offer is valid Monday-Friday, Oct. 15 - Dec. 31, 2008, and can only be purchased online. Blackout dates are Nov. 28, Dec. 26 and Dec. 29-31. You also have to bring the little ones along to take advantage of this great offer. So take a day and come see everything at the world's largest aquarium, big (beluga whales, whale sharks!) and small (clownfish!).
