New Dolphin Exhibit Set to Start at Georgia Aquarium

The Georgia Aquarium is a major attraction for families around the southeast and now, it’s about to get even better, thanks to the Dolphin Tales exhibit set to start April 2nd.  Technically called the AT&T Dolphin Tales, this is a new multi-million dollar exhibit.   It’s also the biggest expansion so far for the world’s largest aquarium.   I’ll get to enjoy a sneak peek next week, but according to the web site, ” The new gallery includes a soaring, naturally-lit entrance lobby featuring an underwater viewing window through which guests can first glimpse the dolphins. The lobby leads to the AT&T Dolphin Tales theater, a state-of-the-art enclosed facility designed and built as the perfect backdrop for a theatrical performance incorporating not only the talents of the Aquarium’s dolphins, but also live human actors, dramatic costuming and amazing effects. This spectacular story is narrated by the StarSpinner, a mysterious seafaring adventurer who leads the way through an interactive journey across the oceans, with guidance from a cast of dolphins and encouragement from the audience. It’s a timeless tale of good against evil, which also serves as a moving tribute to the beauty, agility and grace of dolphins.”

They had me at underwater viewing window. 

The exhibit took more than two years to put together.  AT&T Dolphin Tales opens to the public April 2 and tickets are already available (it’s suggested you book tickets in advance).  To do that, click here.
