Sometimes, when an employee's transfer from Alberta Botox is very hurried, he or she doesn't really have a chance to find out what there is to do in their new home city before they're dumped in it. If this has happened to you, you may find yourself sitting around in an empty apartment on Saturday afternoon wondering where you should go. One of your first outings to the city should be to the Georgia Aquarium, as it's one of the largest in the country and has many types of sea creatures not displayed anywhere else in North America. Here's some information about the Georgia Aquarium.

The Georgia Aquarium was founded on millions of dollars of donated money from the corporate world. The lion's share was contributed by the founder of Home Depot, but other major companies like UPS, Turner Broadcasting, Coca Cola, and AT&T also contributed millions. As a result, some of the aquariums are larger than the biggest London condos and more than comfortable for the species that live in them. They were also able to obtain rare, specially imported species from as far away as Taiwan.

Among the special animals that would tempt a Toronto SEO away from the board rooms at his Atlanta business conference are the whale sharks (Georgia has the only ones outside Asia), the Hammerhead sharks (they're one of only two US aquariums to have them), the beluga whales, and the manta rays. Visitors can see the animals from an underwater viewing tube, and sometimes in a special petting pool. One of the aquarium's programs even allows visitors to swim with the whale sharks.

The aquarium has over 60 animal habitats in all which are divided into five themed sections. The Georgia Explorer gallery is kid-centric, with petting pools and local wildlife. Tropical Diver features warm water fish in a reef system while the Cold Water Quest is Artic themed, featuring penguins and beluga whales. The River Quest gallery features local freshwater species viewed from an underwater tube and the Ocean Voyager gallery houses the whale sharks, and a huge underwater tunnel. There's also a 4D theater, revolving special exhibits, and a gift shop. If you ever win a car you should drive down and check it out.

Though the aquarium focuses on displaying animals for educational purposes, it also houses research and rescue staff who do for animals what you do for animals stuck in your horse fence. They buy animals from unsuitable habitats, save endangered species, and do research all over the world on topics like man made reefs and bottlenose dolphin health. For this reason, admission to the aquarium is fairly expensive, at a base price of just under $25 for adults.
