The Georgia Aquarium opened its doors on Nov. 23, 2005 in downtown Atlanta. Much of the funding came from the late Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus.

It spent years as the largest aquarium in the world until 2012 when it was surpassed by aquariums in Singapore and China. It’s also home to the only whale sharks, which is the largest fish in the ocean, living in an aquarium outside of Asia.
