From what I've heard... Yes. Do a search for Georgia Aquarium here on RC. Here's a few threads out there with pictures and info.

Thats a trip I cant wait to take

I just took my two boys there the other day for the third time. Truly a magnificent aquarium, but VERY crowded most of the time. Once I went on a friday afternoon and hour and a half before closing and it was pretty empty. The reef tank is quite a sight, and they just added a few small sharks to it, which looks pretty cool. I hope you all get a chance to go!

I am taking my daughter to visit a few colleges on the east coast this fall. She's interested in marine research. I'm thinking I might try to surprise her with a stop at the Altanta Aquarium. I checked out their webpage---Looks amazing!

as far as marine bio schools UNCW in wilmington, nc is top notch. I have been to some of their research post down in the keys. great school for that.

On my way right now, if you go early or late you can avoid most of the gigantic crowds. You won't be disappointed!!!
