Georgia Aquarium set to welcome 10 millionth guest
Associated Press
ATLANTA (AP) – The world’s largest fish tank has hit another milestone.
The Georgia Aquarium is expected to welcome its 10 millionth guest Thursday, less than four years after the downtown Atlanta attraction opened its doors.
The aquarium is home to more than 8 million gallons of tanks, including the 6 million gallon Ocean Voyager exhibit featuring the only whale sharks outside of Asia. The attraction is the only aquarium in the world to let visitors dive with the four whale sharks, the world’s largest fish.
The attraction also plans to open a dolphin exhibit in 2010 that will include shows and conservation research.
