Exploring the largest aquarium in North America can be an all day event. There are so many amazing animals to see and even a dolphin show. #blue
The parade of aquatic life that was part of the Ocean Voyage Exhibit of Atlanta's Georgia Aquarium was entirely mesmerizing.  My husband and I sat for at least 15 minutes watching one species after the other effortlessly float by in the largest aquarium habitat in the world (6.3 million gallons of seawater).   Arrive early to make the most of all this suburb site has to offer.  Check out our entire visit via my blog at http://www.aplacecalledroam.com/home/georgia-aquarium-atlantas-must-see-underwater-world .

These two whale sharks call the Georgia Aquarium home. The Georgia aquarium is the worlds largest aquarium with over 8million gallons of water. the aquarium boasts 3 beluga whales, 2 whale sharks, penguins, otters, and 120,000 animals of 500 different species. If you go to Atlanta it is a must visit. The coke-a-cola museum is across the park and you can get discounts for getting tickets for both.
