World's Biggest Aquarium
Today we visited the world's largest Aquarium, both in square feet and litres of water, in Atlanta, Georgia. The Georgia Aquarium is located right downtown across from the Olympic Centennial Park.
We also had tickets to the Deepo's Undersea 3-D Wondershow. They throw in a few surprises to make it a 4-D show. It was short but very good.

The first stop was the Coldwater Quest.
This was one of the touch pools, we were allowed to touch the starfish and sea anemone.

We were at the aquarium for the opening and we were one of the first visitors to view the beluga whales.

The next area was the Georgia Explorer area of the Aquarium.
Another touch pool was the shrimp pool.

They also had a stingray and shark touch pool.
There were two types of stingrays. This was a Southern Stingray.
They had Bonnethead sharks, these were full grown.
Here is a Cownose Ray.

The next stop was Ocean Voyager.
You can stand on a moving walkway as you go through the tunnel. The big attraction are the Whale Sharks. There were four of them in the tank the size of a football field.
