Georgia Aquarium is a public aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It exhibits hundreds of species and thousands of animals across its seven major galleries, all of which reside in more than 11 million US gallons (42,000 m3) of water. It was the largest aquarium in the world from its opening in 2005 until 2012 when it was surpassed by the S.E.A. Aquarium in Singapore and the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in China; the Georgia Aquarium remains the largest aquarium in the United States and the third largest in the world.
A $250 million donation from the foundation of local businessmen and The Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus provided the bulk of the funding needed to build and stock the new facility.
The aquarium's notable specimens include whale sharks, beluga whales, California sea lions, bottlenose dolphins, manta rays, sea otters, and tiger sharks. Its centerpiece is a 6.3 million US gallons (24,000 m3) whale shark exhibit.

If you have kids, do be wary of going through the tunnels that go through the bottom of the aquarium. When I was there with my 6 yr old niece, she complained about the view. I got down on one knee to talk to her, and looked up..whoa.. the viewing angle from the height of a young child is very distorted due to the manufacturing of the tunnel and how light hits it at a different viewing angle. It nearly gave me the same headache my niece was alluding to. So, just be careful to check on them and feel free to pick them up to have their eye level be the same as yours.

A few years ago I did the whale shark dive there that you can sign up for, as long as you’re a certified diver of course. It was awesome, I dove with the whale sharks, manta rays and more in their main tank. They had us wave to the tourists behind the glass and interact with them. They also gave us a small behind the scenes tour too prior to the dive and furnished everything from the wetsuit to the mask with the dive. The price wasn’t bad either.

Went there on the 17 of January while visiting my grandparents and other extended family and got to dive with the whale sharks I had a lot of fun doing that and would do it again and coincidentally enough I bought that exact same whale shark plush as something to remember swimming with those giant sharks and this aquarium is honestly really incredible as a Georgia native I’m so glad that I get to have something like this in my home state because I’m living in Denver and the aquarium there is complete garbage it’s old, tiny and dirty and is nothing compared to this magical underwater experience

It's been several years since I have been to the Georgia Aquarium. I see it has changed and things added that I haven't seen. I know one year we went there on one of my daughters birthday and she got in for free. I wonder if they are still giving free admission to birthday people on the day of their birthday? Did yall go in the World Of Coke while in Atlanta? I have been in there once. However I will say, when the World Of Coke was located by Underground Atlanta way back, many many years ago, I liked the layout of it better than the one there now. Of course if one has never been to the original one by Underground Atlanta, they would never know the differences in the two.
