The Georgia Aquarium, located in Atlanta, Georgia at Pemberton Place, is billed as the “world’s largest aquarium” with more than 8.1 million US gallons (31,000 m³) of marine and fresh water housing more than 100,000 animals of 500 different species.
The aquarium’s notable specimens include four young whale sharks, three beluga whales and two manta rays.
Funded mostly by a $250 million donation from Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus, the aquarium was built on a 20 acre (81,000 m²) place north of Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta. Marcus credited his 60th date dinner at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in 1990 as among the inspirations behind his desire to physique an aquarium in Atlanta. Great trip advisor for family vacations.
