Georgia Aquarium -- 98 days / 1 million guests

Guess there's something in that 8 million gallons of water that are bringing 'em in.

Anyone in SEASL been there yet? Interesting that they have stopped selling annual passes (after 290,000 had been sold by January) to avoid the aquarium feeling like a "club."

There was a thread somewhere here on RC that had a bunch of pictues of it... I'd like to go visit it.

Was there last month. The 6+ million gallon tank and the leafy sea draqons were amazing!! Was not impressed with the reef exhibit, but it is still new. I got there when they opened at 9am on a wed. and by noon it was so crowded you couldn't move. Worth seeing if you are in the area, but I don't think it is worth a trip just for the aquarium.

Interesting that the fire marshals say the facility can hold 8,000 visitors while the Aquarium draws the line around 4,800 -- be interesting to note how many were there when you visited.

It'll be interesting to see when they believe they'll have a mature reef exhibit.

Anything in particular that really fascinated you about the main tank and the leafy sea dragons?

Leafy Seadragons are too cool for words.
