The first five are aquatic animals categorized according to the geographic area they live in. The 4D Theatre is a 3D movie with some extra effects (water splashed on you…).
Along with seeing the thousands of animals at the Georgia Aquarium, the 3D movie allows you the experience their habitats from the aquatic animals view. It has some fantastic special effects and great interactive experience. When a fish swims on the screen you see it right next to you and also feel a slimy thing touching you. It is great fun for both adults and kids.
