Georgia Aquarium

Those who are looking for something different, and love fishy tales should pay a visit to the largest aquarium in the world – The Georgia Aquarium. This aquarium was opened to the public in November 2005. Imaginatively conceived the exterior of the building was designed to resemble a giant ship breaking through a wave.

As guests enter the huge atrium inside the building, they will be led into the facility by “a wall of fish” guiding them inside. They then have the choice of entering five galleries. Each gallery is easily identified by an icon and signage at the entrance: Georgia Explorer has a light house; River Scout displays a cascading waterfall; Cold Water Quest has an ice covered cliff; Ocean Voyager offers a peek window into the huge habitat; and Tropical Diver has two video screens displaying the perspective of a fish on a reef. There are 60 habitats at the Georgia Aquarium with 12,000 square feet of viewing windows. Once inside the aquarium you will feel like a scuba diver let loose in an endless blue sea of marine life.
