(Vader voice) Impressive. Most impressive. (/Vader voice)

Initially I spent the first half-hour with a sea of people, not fish, in line to get my annual pass, complete with god-awful picture. After that, pure awe. Folks, you have to see it to believe it. I�ve never been to Chattanooga or any other large aquarium, so I don�t ask me to compare. Just know that this is the bestest, most fabulous ever and that�s that.

The aquarium is separated into five sections: Tropical, Ocean, Cold water, Rivers and Georgia. There are two gift shops and a caf�, plus a 4-D theater upstairs. You could spend an hour walking through everything, but you�d have a better time looking at everything and spending hours exploring. There are several ginormous exhibits where you�ll just want to take a seat and watch; it�s that relaxing.
