I have a fascination and fear of the ocean; it's so huge and I am, well, a very tiny fish in comparison.
Visiting an aquarium seems like the perfect answer for someone like me, who wants to see,
learn and experience the ocean.
Georgia Aquarium
" The Georgia Aquarium is the world's largest aquarium with more than 8.5-million-US-gallons of marine and fresh water housing more than 120,000 animals of 500 different species. Funded mostly by a $250 million donation from Home Depot co-founder Bernard Marcus. Marcus credited his 60th birthday dinner at the Monterey Bay Aquarium in 1990 among the inspirations behind his desire to build an aquarium in Atlanta. "
Oregon Coast Aquarium
"The largest exhibit is "Passages of the Deep". It features walk-through acrylic tubes surrounded by deep water marine animals such as sharks."
Shedd Aquarium-Chicago
"The John G. Shedd Aquarium is an indoor public aquarium in Chicago, Illinois in the United States that opened on May 30, 1930. The Shedd Aquarium was the first inland aquarium with a permanent saltwater fish collection."
