Today I finally made it to the Georgia Aquarium. It was a pretty amazing display of underwater wildlife. This is especially true being that it is so far from any body of water that is worthy of note. The closest thing we have in the Atlanta area is Lake Lanier, which is noteworthy primarily for the fact that it is rapidly disappearing.
The Beluga whales stole the show, they resided in their own section of the aquarium as opposed to the famed whale sharks who were mixed in with what seemed like an entire ecosystem's worth of species. The whale shark display was breathtaking, but did not allow for the same viewing experience as the beluga exhibit.

The overall layout of the aquarium was excellent as well. I have visited both the Chattanooga aquarium and the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, and neither had the appeal of the Georgia Aquarium.
The Shedd Aquarium does have the dolphin exhibit, which was amazing. Check out this shot of the dolphins in the air.
The aquarium is such a useful tool for the schools not only in Atlanta, but throughout the South. The school systems are in serious trouble here in a lot of places. Georgia is ranked 49th nationally, and anything that can help get the children interested in learning is undoubtedly an asset to the state.
This is a picture I took that I really liked, so im adding it as well, check this one out...
