Georgia Aquarium

Georgia Aquarium, the world's largest aquarium, housing over 100,000 aquatic animals in over 10 million gallons of fresh and saltwater. While the displays' sheer vastness may appear intimidating, they are arranged into different topics to make visits more focused and enlightening. Cold Water Quest is a documentary that looks at cold-water life around the world, containing strange organisms like Australian sea dragons and Japanese spider crabs.

Trainers interact with social California sea lions in Under the Boardwalk, and albino alligators, piranha, and emerald tree boas live in the River Scout exhibit. The largest, the 6.3-million-gallon Ocean Voyager, is home to thousands of species, including whale sharks and manta rays, and has a 100-foot-long acrylic tunnel which visitors may stroll through while surrounded by moving fish.
