If you ever get a chance to go to the Georgia Aquarium, just do it!

Remember that scene in Finding Nemo where they reach "the big blue"? That's what walking into Ocean Voyager feels like. Whale sharks glide overhead like underwater blimps, manta rays do backflips, and schools of fish swirl around like living confetti. The tunnel walkthrough is wild – imagine being inside a glass bubble while 6.3 million gallons of ocean life swim circles around you.

Explore the dazzling world of the Indo-Pacific, where vibrant coral reefs teem with life. Spot playful clownfish darting through anemones, mysterious garden eels swaying in the sand, and ethereal jellyfish pulsing through crystal-clear waters. The showstopper? A massive living reef exhibit where thousands of tropical fish swim beneath crashing waves.

Get ready to be charmed by California sea lions in this interactive wonderland! Watch these playful performers flip, twist, and glide through their crystal-clear habitat, viewable both above and below water. "Under the Boardwalk" is a presentation where you'll meet the aquarium's beloved residents, including Jupiter and Neptune - two rescued pups who now serve as adorable ambassadors for their species. While the grown-ups learn about marine conservation from expert trainers, kids can test their skills at the boardwalk-themed arcade, packed with fun games that sneakily teach ocean science.

With 90,000+ gallons of water, this space lets you explore rivers from Africa to South America. Watch playful Asian small-clawed otters splash around, see archerfish show off their hunting skills, and get an up-close look at piranhas (safely, of course!). Kids will love crawling through the tunnels and checking out alligators through the glass-bottom viewing area.

Brace yourself for the chilliest gallery in the aquarium! Here, playful beluga whales glide through subarctic waters while African penguins waddle in their naturalistic habitat, complete with 25 cozy nesting spots. The gallery also showcases creatures like weedy sea dragons and Japanese spider crabs among rocky ledges and swaying kelp forests.

Remember those old dolphin shows where they'd jump through hoops? This isn't that. The 1.8-million-gallon habitat here is more like a dolphin playground where these brainiacs show off what they naturally do best. The "Destination: Dolphin" presentation will make you forget you're sitting in a 1,800-seat theater in Atlanta – it feels more like you've stumbled onto a tropical coast. Between shows, check out the roseate spoonbills strutting around like tiny pink dinosaurs (which, evolutionarily speaking, isn't far off).

Ever wondered how scientists figure out what's going on in the deepest trenches or the most scorching tide pools? Here's your chance to play marine biologist. This fascinating discovery zone lets you explore how sea creatures survive in Earth's most extreme environments. Kids and adults alike get hands-on experience as "Aquanauts-in-training," investigating diverse habitats and learning what it takes to study marine life. You'll meet incredible animals like the Baja blue rock lizard and the wood frog.

This is the newest addition to Georgia Aquarium. Here, you’ll see an three distinct biomes come alive - from bustling estuaries to mysterious saltmarshes and dynamic coastal waters. You’ll see the gentle cownose rays and magnificent sturgeon in two expansive touch pools, or let your creativity run wild at the digital aquarium where your hand-drawn sea creatures swim to life on massive video walls.

Expect to come face-to-face with some of the ocean's most magnificent hunters here. This cutting-edge exhibit features floor-to-ceiling windows that bring you incredibly close to tiger sharks, hammerheads, and sand tigers gliding through their 20-foot-deep habitat. Want an even bigger thrill? Try the cage diving experience to safely observe these misunderstood creatures in their world.
