Georgia Aquarium

The Georgia Aquarium is a must-see gem when it comes to Atlanta's top tourist destinations! More than 100,000 marine friends, including enormous whale sharks and cute sea otters, call this one of the biggest aquariums in the world home. The most well-liked exhibit is called "Ocean Explorer," and it has an extra-long underwater tunnel that makes it feel like you're strolling through an underwater world, complete with manta rays and whale sharks swimming gracefully overhead.

I spent two hours exploring the place alone, completely absorbed in the experience. It's so vast and full of things to see, it can be tiring, so I recommend wearing comfortable shoes!
