The gigantic aquarium in downtown
Atlanta features some of the world’s most amazing exhibits where from the
tiniest sea creature to the bus sized sharks swim around in complete harmony
to its surroundings. This huge ark like facility built on a twenty-acre plot
has very strong layout and interior design enthralling the immense visitors. This entertaining Atlanta aquarium
boasts five exhibits, all arranged uniquely different than the other,
portraying scenes of the real ocean creatures. Added with the clever
lightings, the visitors are given the experience of a lifetime, beckoning
them to roam around the amazing array of exhibits. Visitors on entry get to
walk the long plank towards Georgia Explorer gallery that exhibits a special
touch tanks filled with an array of critters like horseshoe crabs, starfish
and stingrays, including a fascinating and gentle turtle. Next is the
Tropical Diver section, where you will be hypnotized by the huge treasure of
colorful tropical fish as well as other non fish creatures such as sea
dragon, the exotic little seahorse, squiggly jellyfish, all living
harmoniously in a real life coral reef. Another array of exhibit is found in
River Scout, designed cleverly for the audience to feel as if you are
actually floating in a river. Here you get to witness a great
number of deadly piranha, those sleek eels, whiskered catfish, and arawanas,
not to forget the eerily glowing electric fish. The other gallery that
exhibits the lovable and entertaining sea otters is the Cold water Quest;
there are also the jackass penguins and a huge octopus. Here the five beluga
whales are the main attractions, where people can watch them gulping up
herrings; no wonder this beautiful animal weighs about two tons each.
Finally the most captivating is the Ocean Voyager with its wide window,
which is home to some eighty five thousand fishes, including the only two
whale sharks found outside Asia. |
