The largest aquarium in the world, the Georgia Aquarium offers truly amazing oceanviews and opportunities to get up-close and personal with some of the most incredible marine life ever seen.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I was long overdue for an <a title=\"Atlanta vacations\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/App\/PerformSDLPDealsContent?deal_id=atlanta&amp;cnt=PKG\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta<\/a> visit and returned to the Aquarium last week. As with every visit, I\u00a0 was quickly reminded why it&#8217;s such an amazing place to see and experience, especially for families. The spring and early summer seasons here in Atlanta offer great weather and scenery, and on the day of my visit families were out in full force enjoying not only the Aquarium, but also the surrounding <strong>Centennial Park.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Aquarium itself offers multiple exhibits that cater to everything from small river fish to deep sea mammals.\u00a0 There\u2019s no way to describe everything\u00a0 &#8212; and I won&#8217;t spoil your visit by giving it all away &#8212; but I will point out a few\u00a0 favorite exhibits that you won&#8217;t want you to miss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Show-Off\u2019s<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Who knew there were penguins in Africa? Enter the Aquarium and you&#8217;ll discover this is true at your first stop, the African Penguin exhibit. The fun begins here, too, as adorable little guys love to\u00a0 play and interact with the audience.\u00a0 The Asian Otters also know how to show-off, but are so focused on playing and swimming with each other that they seem to hardly notice the swarms of people watching their every move.\u00a0 Speaking of show-off\u2019s, tucked away in the back corner of the aquarium is one of the largest exhibits.\u00a0 Here, resident Beluga Whales, Beethoven and Maris, captivate audiences with their size and personality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kid-Friendly Fun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Aquarium is obviously built for family-fun, learning, and conservation education, so it\u2019s no surprise that you&#8217;ll find several interactive exhibits and play areas. Kids seem to really enjoy the colorful Coral Reef Exhibit in the Tropical Diver room &#8212; a magnet for those searching for Nemo and Dory!<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIG Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have I mentioned how big the Georgia Aquarium is?\u00a0 As if the listing in the<strong> <\/strong>Guinness Book of World Records isn\u2019t enough, the Ocean Voyager exhibit backs it up with 6.3 million gallons of water and<strong> six whale sharks<\/strong>!\u00a0 To see the largest fish in the sea up close and personal is an amazing experience.\u00a0 Trixie, the largest whale shark at the Georgia Aquarium is 23 feet long\u2026 and still growing.\u00a0 She shares her tank with her fellow whale sharks, giant grouper fish, and Tallulah the Manta Ray, the largest ray species in the Ocean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Insider tip: <\/strong>To stay close to the downtown neighborhood and within reach of the Aquarium, book on of these favorite Atlanta hotels: <a title=\"The Ellis on Peachtree hotel\" href=\"..\/..\/hotel\/United_States--GA\/Atlanta\/The_Ellis_on_Peachtree\/\" target=\"_self\">The Ellis on Peachtree<\/a>, the <a title=\"The Westin Peachtree Plaza\" href=\"..\/..\/hotel\/United_States--GA\/Atlanta\/The_Westin_Peachtree_Plaza,_Atlanta\/\" target=\"_self\">Westin Peachtree Plaza<\/a>, and the <a title=\"Atlanta Marriott Marquis\" href=\"..\/..\/hotel\/United_States--GA\/Atlanta\/Atlanta_Marriott_Marquis\/\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta Marriott Marquis<\/a>.
