The new Georgia Aquarium (GA) in Atlanta is the largest indoor marine environment in the world. Opened in 2005, GA is home to more than 100,000 marine creatures, including beluga whales, whale sharks, piranhas, domestic catfish and even home-grown coral reefs. The centerpiece of the aquarium is the 6.2-million-gallon Ocean Voyager exhibit that replicates the marine life of Central America's Meso-American Barrier Reef. This tank alone is 263 long × 126 wide × 33 ft deep at its deepest point. An instant hit, the aquarium boasted well over 3.5 million visitors in its first year.
