Nickelodeon Parents' Pick for Best Local Blog in Atlanta
What: Me & Mommy (or daddy or nanny) Deal
When: Now through Nov. 12, 2010 (but they often extend it)
Where: Georgia Aquarium
Cost: $25 for one adult, free admission for children age 5 and under (max 4 children per paid adult)
Bonus: FREE Parking!!
The Georgia Aquarium has a great deal going for Moms (or caregivers) of young children, but the best part, in my opinion, is the FREE parking that goes with it.
So what exactly is the deal you ask? Now through Nov. 12, $25 gets an adult and up to four children under age 5 admission to The Georgia Aquarium and includes parking. The offer is valid Monday – Friday, tickets can only be purchased online here and you have to have the little ones with you when you go.
So grab your child’s best friends and head to the aquarium. My favorites are the otters, the seaweed looking fish and those HUGE crabs that look like something from a sci-fi movie. There is also the Deepo 4-D show, but it requires purchasing an additional ticket. When my youngest was in pre-school, he got a bit spooked at the Deepo 4-D show. Keeping the 3-D glasses on him was bad enough, but when the rain came down and the chair jumped under him, it was a bit too much. That said, the older kids loved it.

Sounds like a great deal. I have 6 children and only two of them are under 5. So, what about a deal for older children? I homeschool them, so a homeschool day ??!?
Jamie, I believe your 2 children under 5 would get in free and you would have to pay for the other children. So, you would get yourself (the adult) 2 children under 5 and parking for $25 and you’d have to pay the regular admission for the other kids. I know that still adds up, but it’s MUCH cheaper than it would be. If you go soon, bring bathing suits and hit the Centennial Olympic Park Fountains. They aren’t busy this time of year and my kids (even the older ones) love it.
Hey Jamie!
Funny finding you on Sue’s blog!
Another great tip is that this weekend, the GA Aquarium is having Pirate Days and children 12 and under (yeah!!!) that are dressed like a Pirate get in free!
Now, I THINK this may be tied to one adult-one child, but maybe you could wrangle up 4 more adults to help get your other four kids in for free!
I posted about this a while ago on my blog, but I’m sure you could Google it or visit the Aquarium’s website to get all the details!
Good luck! We may head down there this weekend since the kids will be free.
