The other week we let the kids skip school and had a family day at the Georgia Aquarium. We took Carter to the Chattanooga aquarium when Audrey was just a couple months old. Since then we knew we wanted to see the Georgia aquarium. Plus it was on our list of things to do before we move. We had a fabulous time!

They loved how colorful the fish were at the tropical tidal wave exhibit.
There was a play area for the kiddos. They went down this whale slide numerous times! We had to make them stop to move on.
They were entertained for at least 10 min. by the informational touch screens. Especially, since Dory and Nemo were on them.
The ocean voyage was the best part. Carter and Chuck had to study all the different fish in the exhibit. It was awesome to see the sharks and whale sharks up close. The kids loved the moving walkway we went through it twice.
Carter liked the fake shark as much as the real ones. Carter also loved all the touch tanks. He touched; sharks, sting rays, sea anemone, star fish, shrimp and a horseshoe crab.
Of course, they make you go through the gift shop to leave. Audrey kept picking out the giant $50 stuffed fish. She even tried putting one in the stroller in hopes it would come home with us.
The kids had a great time and the middle of the week was the perfect time to go. It wasn't crowded at all. I'm glad we went and got to see the whale sharks. Overall, I think I liked the Chattanooga one better.
