Do you like Whale Sharks? Penguins? Dolphins? All of the above? Then the Georgia Aquarium is the place for you! Located just 5 minutes from Georgia Tech, the Georgia Aquarium is a great place to go to escape from the pressures of college and explore the wonders of marine life. I have lived in Georgia for over 10 years now, and have had the pleasure of visiting the Georgia Aquarium on a variety of occasions. Ever since I was a young boy, I have been fascinated with wildlife, especially aquatic wildlife, so I have always enjoyed visiting aquariums. Now, I’m sure most of you have been to an aquarium in your lifetime, but this is no ordinary aquarium. This is one of the most interesting, most interactive aquariums you will ever visit! There are multiple exhibits, each featuring a different group of wildlife, and there is also a 3D theater which is always a fun experience. The five main exhibits are the Ocean Voyager, the Georgia Explorer, the Tropical Diver, the River Scout, and the Cold Water Quest.
The picture above shows a view of one of the largest, if not the largest rooms in the entire aquarium. As you can see, the variety of wildlife that the aquarium is home to is absolutely amazing. The hours of operation for the Georgia Aquarium are extremely convenient, as it is literally open every day of the year. It’s open from 10 A.M. until 5 P.M. Sundays through Fridays, and from 9 A.M. until 6 P.M. on Saturdays. And, as I promised, you can experience this wonderful place for under $50. Ticket prices vary depending on when you buy the ticket, but an adult ticket will only cost you $30 or $35, which is a great deal for the amazing time you will have here. So take advantage of the fact that it is a bye week for the Georgia Tech football team, and come out to the Georgia Aquarium this weekend and explore all that nature has to offer!

This is a great post! I’ll definitely have to check this aquarium out when I have some free time. The fact that it costs under $50 for admission makes it all the more attractive. The convenience of the working hours is also a nice plus.

Overall, I think that your blog is really strong. Stylistically, I think you should consider darkening the body text in your posts because it’s quite hard to read due to a lack of contrast between the text and the background. Also, consider adding more personal experiences in general. Aside from those things, I think you’ve done a very good job getting this information out there.
