Georgia Aquarium

We went to the Georgia Aquarium with friends Ellie & Sarah today. When we first walked in, we went over to the large Ocean Voyager tank, which is a 6.3 million gallon tank! We were looking in one of the huge windows and there was a very large fish swimming around in there. I said "I wonder what that is?" and Daniel said "It's a whale shark." I asked my friend Ellie "Do you know what that big one is?" and she said "I think it's a whale shark." Sure enough - Daniel was right! Thanks to Octonauts, he knew what it was! We went through the large tunnel under the Ocean exhibit and toured the other exhibits, including tropical fish, amazon river, otters, and penguins. The penguin exhibit was one of my favorites. There is a tunnel that you can crawl through and then you pop up in a bubble in the middle of the penguins. I didn't get good pictures of it, because the glass made it hard to get pictures. We finished off with the amazing dolphin show! We all had a great time!
