Georgia Aquarium
One of the largest aquariums in the Western Hemisphere, where you can watch whale sharks and manta rays from a giant ocean tunnel. There are also beluga whale and dolphin shows.
The main tank, Ocean Voyager, holds about 24 million liters of water. Through an underwater tunnel and massive viewing windows, you can get up close to whale sharks, manta rays, and large schools of fish. Other attractions include belugas, sea otters, penguins, and a dolphin theater with live shows. Admission starts at about US$50, and you need to reserve a time slot on the official website. You can add an optional dive experience alongside whale sharks. Weekends are crowded, so arrive right at opening time for the best experience.
