I finally got around to loading a selection of pictures and videos of our trip to the Georgia Aquarium a couple of weeks ago. It's the world's largest aquarium!! We had a really great time there! It's absolutely beautiful. If you get a chance, definitely check it out. Buy tickets online and go first thing when they open to avoid the crowds. That's what we did and it worked out perfectly. We got through about half of it before it really started to get crowded. Here's a link to the album. There are several videos, but they're all pretty short., less than 30 seconds. s123.photobucket.com/albums/o314/babygeige/Georgia%20Aquarium/

Wow, incredible pictures! ;D
I loved the Sea Dragons & Garden Eels (I find them both fascinating)
The freshwater "Amazon River " tank with Discus, Festivums, Cardinals, & rummynose was also peaceful and beautiful & shows the beauty of a freshwater tank too
I also found the gentle flowing schools of fish in the saltwater video (2nd down from the top) very peaceful too.
Thanks for sharing.

Those are stunning pictures/vids! They look like they're from the actual ocean.

I went Scuba diving in that tank! I swam right beside those gentle giants! The huge whale sharks! I wish I could post my video I got from it. It was awesome!

We've been talking about taking a vacation to Georgia to see this aquarium for a couple of years now.
I recently read in an article on the largest aquariums in the world that the Georgia aquarium is one of 2 to house whale sharks in captivity and in terms of water volume, it is by far the largest aquarium in the world.
In fact, the Georgia aquarium has almost as much water as the #2, #3, and #4 largest aquariums COMBINED.

Yes, it's a huge place. The tank where they have the whale shark is crazy, a giant wall of acrylic. I'd love to go back. When we went before, we were in GA for a wedding. There's another wedding down there this fall, but it's the same weekend as another commitment I had already made, so it doesn't look like I'm going to make it.
If you go, head over there right when they open. That's the best time to go. We went pretty early and by the time we left it was jammed. If you go early, it's nice and calm.
