Georgia Aquarium

You are in Atlanta and you have stuffed yourself with all the seafood you have seen, but did you ever stop to wonder where your meal came from? If you think it came from the kitchen or the delivery guy, you may want to take a trip to the Georgia Aquarium, where you will meet all the creatures that call the Atlantic Ocean home. There are so many things to do at the Georgia Aquarium that a person could easily spend an entire day there. But if you have other places to, you may want to plan ahead and see the highlights.
