This is the best aquarium to take selfies with whale sharks, manta rays, sea otters, and a lot other sea creatures. The walk through the aquariums tunnels, the dolphin shows and all other exhibitions are so spectacular and gives a sense of how nature is interconnected in its vastness.
The Georgia Aquarium is a shocking place with a variety of marine life. I especially like the giant sink, which can see whale sharks and dolphins up close. The interactive experience is rich and very suitable for family tourists, especially children. The facilities are modern and the viewing experience is smooth.
As a mother of a child, I would like to recommend to you the Georgia Aquarium. It's so rare to have an air-conditioned indoor playground in hot Atlanta summer. Children can interact with aquatic organisms, watch performances, 4D movies, especially large fish watching areas from the ceiling to the ground. They don't want to leave when they sit down. Go in at 10:30 in the morning and play until 17:00 in the afternoon. Some projects have been played twice. Next time, I still want to go!
It's worth going! Here is the largest fish tank in the world. There are many kinds of fish in the fish tank, big and small, which give people a lot of impact! ___________ The smallest primitive species are beginning to be available! Give people a refreshing feeling! Suitable for children to play with!
Last year, the children with me went very well. They can broaden their horizons and understand them very well. There are jellyfish and Haixin in it. It seems that there is an animal cloth that knows whether or not it is. It's a pity to catch up with the Shanghai Dolphin Embryo Show that afternoon. There are also programs that are suitable for children to watch in the underwater world. Everyone has the opportunity to come to Atlanta and take their children to visit. There are many other programs that I can't say.
It must be admitted that the number one aquarium in the United States is really not a fictitious one, either in size or type. Here you can see whale sharks, beluga whales, dolphins that are rarely seen elsewhere. You can also enjoy 4D movies, VRs and experience many interesting popular science games.
