The Georgia Aquarium in Downtown Atlanta is a large, deliberately theatrical indoor attraction next to the Georgia World Congress Center. It is built around a handful of big galleries and one very large central tank, with dim corridors lit from the water and rooms designed so a group of thirty people can all see the same thing at once. That scale and design are why it works so well with children, and also why it feels crowded so quickly. Several of the species are rescues or are part of research work, so the welfare programme is more serious than the showmanship suggests. It is a timed, routed, high-throughput experience: you book a timed entry, arrive at opening or after three, and the smaller galleries, touch pools and quieter side rooms empty out later while everyone queues elsewhere. Planning two or three things you actually care about beats trying to walk the building as a loop.
