Georgia Aquarium Opens Next Wednesday

Sunday, 20 November 2005

Located in Atlanta, Georgia Aquarium is set to open on November 23, officially becoming the world's largest aquarium. The aquarium has an amazing 100,000 animals from 500 species, and 8 million gallons of fresh and marine water. Besides in Asia, Georgia Aquarium will be the only aquarium with whale sharks on display. These two juvenile whale sharks alone occupies a monstrous 20-million-litre tank. A visit to this gigantic aquarium would not come cheap. For a family of five, a one-day general admission is expected to cost over $115. But the novelty of getting a glimpse of the world's largest fish is well worth the ticket price. Georgia Aquarium Official Website [via The Globe and Mail]
