A Great Place to take the Family!
Looking for a summer getaway, but can't quite make it to the beach? Want someplace in Atlanta where you won't have a sunburn for a souvenir? Want to see HUGE creatures like whale sharks, beluga whales, and even sea lions?
Well aren't you glad the Georgia Aquarium, located in the heart of Atlanta and not too far away from Georgia Tech, CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park, the new World of Coca Coca -- and plenty more great attractions! -- is open and waiting for you!
Here's a taste of what you'll find at the Aquarium, along with a few tips on how to get there!
Image lovingly lifted from the good folks at Volpin Props and Dim Horizon Studios. You can see the originals by clicking here.
The Aquarium's not Just Cool, it's (Bio)Shocking!
Check out this awesome Bioshock Cosplay done at the Aquarium!
This picture (and many other awesome ones like it) are from this excellent Bioshock Cosplay done at the Aquarium before opening hours! These photos were taken from the Ocean Voyager and Tropical Diver exhibits, and are nothing short of gorgeous!
The best part? They're just an example of the great things this aquarium could set off inside your imagination! It's really something amazing to behold...
