Did anyone else see this? I saw it on tv last night. It opens today, and looks sooo cool!! They house 2 Whale Sharks and even Beluga Whales. It looks absolutely amazing. I've gotta take my kids there. :eek:

I live in atlanta, actually just north of the city limits, and i own one of the construction companys that worked on that building. If you are at all interested in comming to see it you have got to make it a priority. Its absolutely amazing. I got to walk the inside just before it opened and while they were putting some of the finnishing touches on it and let me tell you that its friggin amazing!

Sounds awesome. i love aquariums, i find them to be more interesting than zoos.

I lived in Okinawa Japan for 6 years and we had a very very large aguarium that housed i think 2 or 3 whale sharks, they are amazing animals !!

Cheack out this link.

My son just loves aquariums. We've been to the National Aquarium in Baltimore several times, and the Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. This one looks like it leaves those in the dust! Even my husband is impressed, and unless it's hockey or some other sport that's saying something.

Those were some cool pics Brandon! How long since you moved from Japan?

They're sold out of tickets until Sunday at least. I also live in Metro Atlanta. The tickets are like $27 each for adults.
