One of the top things to do in Atlanta with kids, the Georgia Aquarium features a wide variety of marine life and some very interesting and interactive activities for visitors. One of the world's largest aquarium, it houses more than 100,000 aquatic creatures, including the largest sharks in the ocean: whale sharks.

You can also see rare albino alligators and watch as trainers interact with California sea lions. One unique option offered by the Georgia Aquarium is the opportunity to dive or snorkel in the tank with the sharks. To participate in the dive program, visitors must have SCUBA diving certification.

For those not looking to get wet, the aquarium also has an acrylic tunnel to walk through. This spectacular underwater experience enables guests to view fish, including sharks, swimming on all sides.
