Georgia Aquarium

The Georgia Aquarium is the biggest in the Western Hemisphere, and it was the largest in the world until Singapore's aquarium surpassed it. This magnificent aquarium, located near Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta, is a must-see.

The aquarium, which is home to thousands of marine species such as whale sharks, beluga whales, sea otters, and rare fish, strives to maintain, protect, and teach visitors about the ocean system's remarkable variety.

Live presentations at the aquarium include a dolphin show that emphasizes the link between animals and humans and a 3D underwater display that emphasizes the need for marine animal preservation. Visitors may get up and personal with some of the creatures, such as dolphins, sea otters, and penguins, through special interaction programs.

The largest, the 6.3-million-gallon Ocean Voyager, is home to millions of species, including whale sharks and manta rays, and has a 100-foot-long glass tunnel that visitors may stroll through while surrounded by moving fish. Courageous guests can even dive alongside whale sharks and manta rays in the Ocean Voyager.
