Of course, Atlantis isn't known for being a bargain, so nothing is free, but some things you can do without a day pass, though your options are limited. If you are traveling to the Bahamas, I recommend a day trip to visit Atlantis.

You cannot access the primary attractions of Atlantis Paradise Island for free; however, you can visit specific "public" areas of the resort without a pass. In 2026, the general public is welcome to stroll through Marina Village, which features colorful Bahamian architecture and high-end shops, and visit the Atlantis Casino, where you can view famous Dale Chihuly glass sculptures. However, to see the world-famous Aquaventure water park, The Dig aquarium, or the private beaches, you must be a registered resort guest or purchase an Atlantis Day Pass, which typically ranges from $190 to $250 per adult depending on the season. A "pro-tip" for those on a budget is that guests at the nearby Comfort Suites Paradise Island often receive full Atlantis access included with their stay, sometimes at a lower total price than individual day passes. Access to the massive marine habitats and lagoons is strictly monitored by staff checking for guest wristbands.
