The biggest aquarium in the world (so they say).
If you have a day or two in Atlanta then this place is a must-see. Six different habitats (Georgia coast, Barrier Reef, Jellyfish, Tropical etc, one of them a walk-through, and one huge theatre-size auditorium).
You could spend several hours in there easily. It was funded by Bernie Marcus, the founder of Home Depot and no expense has been spared.
Book tickets online or walk up. It can get a little crowded at times, but is by far the best visitor attraction in Atlanta.
