Georgia Aquarium Overview
Located in downtown Atlanta across from Centennial Olympic Park, the brand new Georgia Aquarium is the largest indoor aquarium in the world. It boasts an impressive 8 million gallons and 505,000 sq ft, and features more than 100,000 freshwater and saltwater fish and mammals representing 500 species from around the globe, divided into 60 different habitats. The largest one holds over 6 million gallons of water and was specially designed to house whale sharks alongside tens of thousands of other coral reef and open ocean creatures. Another striking feature of the aquarium is its 30m (100ft) long tunnel, one of the largest aquarium windows in the world with views into whale shark habitat. The second largest habitat (800,000 gallons) was specially designed to simulate the natural habitat of beluga whales. Facilities include shops, a cafe, a learning zone, a 4D theater, and meeting and conference facilities
