The new Georgia Aquarium is the world's largest aquarium! With over 8 million gallons of fresh and marine water, 100,000 animals representing 500 species from around the globe and over 505,000 sq. ft of total space, you're sure to see things you've never seen before! You will get to meet Ralph and Norton, the aquarium's two resident whale sharks, the largest fish on the planet. You will also encounter beluga whales, whose charismatic personalities will touch the hearts of your entire family. For more information, please see http://www.georgiaaquarium.org/.
The Georgia Aquarium has a 4-D theater which features a 3-D film, a live actor and interactive seats. The theater is one of the most advanced in the world, combining digital projection with a high definition 3-D film. But the production is more than just a 3-D film. It employs unique special effects that are built into the theater itself, creating a set of "4-D" effects that are synchronized to the film production, adding another layer of immersive fun for audiences. For instance, you not only see a jelly as they move by in 3-D, you also feel the tingling tentacles as they brush along them. A wide array of special effects will enhance the audience's enjoyment of this underwater spectacular.
