MARTA to the Georgia Aquarium

The Georgia Aquarium is one of most popular tourist attractions in Atlanta,  and there are several options for getting there on MARTA:

1. Take a red or gold line train to the Peachtree Center Station and take the Harris Street exit off the train platform then follow the signs to Peachtree Street West.  At street level turn left on Peachtree Street then left again on Baker Street.  The aquarium is about four blocks down (see walking map). The area is generally safe with mostly office buildings.
2. Take a blue or green line train to Dome/GWCC/Philips Arena Station.  Take the Philip’s Arena exit out of the station after going up the tall escalators, keep right and walk straight ahead on Centennial Park Drive and through the park to reach the aquarium.
3. Take bus 32 from the Civic Center Station on the red/gold rail line.   This a great route because it will also take you to the Zoo Atlanta, so you can hit both attractions on the same bus line.
