We don’t normally get to see the creatures of the sea in our everyday life.  The Georgia Aquarium recently set the new world record for the largest aquarium in the world.  Here you can see many of the creatures that lay beneath the surface of the ocean and other fresh water sources.  

The Georgia Aquarium holds over 8.5 million gallons of fresh and salt water, and displays 120,000 animals that represent 500 species.  Among these amazing animals are four young whale sharks, two beluga whales and two manta rays, unique and beautiful creatures that you would never see on your average trip to the beach.  Designed around its huge whale shark display the Georgia Aquarium is the only institution outside of Asia to house the world’s largest living fish species.  It is one of only two aquariums in the U.S. that exhibit great hammer head sharks and one of four that display manta rays. 

The animals are split into 5 different displays corresponding to different habitats.  The exhibits are: Georgia Explorer, Tropical Diver, Ocean Voyager, Cold Water Quest and River Scout.  The Ocean Voyager exhibit contains a 100 feet underwater tunnel that features the world’s second largest window and gives a unique view of the creatures that feels like you are inside the tank with them.  The aquarium, which has been the world’s largest since its grand opening in November of 2005, is currently working with Georgia Tech, The University of Georgia and Georgia State University to help save endangered species through education and research programs.  

The Georgia Aquarium offers the experience of a lifetime and countless different ways to enjoy and learn about different species that cannot be seen anywhere else in the United States!
