Atlanta is a city steeped in history, culture, the arts and music. While being a very sophisticated metropolis, it also offers a lot in options for families.
1. Explore the Georgia Aquarium
Traveling through underwater tunnels, touching baby sharks and stingrays, watching penguins as they feed and dive, being awed by the unique beauty and gracefulness of jellyfish, standing at a wall of 6.5 million gallons of water like Moses as he crossed the Red Sea, the Georgia Aquarium is a place of wonder and adventure for both children and adults alike.
Located in downtown Atlanta, the Georgia Aquarium touts itself as the world’s largest with over 8 million gallons of water and a panoply of 120,000 animals from 500 species. They’re the only aquarium outside of Asia to have whale sharks (two of them!)
Our family enjoyed recording our attempt at whale songs, ‘petting’ sea anemones, star fish, sting rays and baby sharks, and watching the grace and beauty of giant manta rays as they swam in 6.5 million gallons of water.
Tickets start at $19.50 for children and $26 for adults, but well worth the price. Be sure to go early so you can spend the day exploring the world of wonder under the sea.
