Every state has something that draws people to it.
Arizona has the Grand Canyon. Louisiana has the French Quarter.
According to Thrillist.com, Georgia's top tourist attraction is our aquarium.
"Aquarium" is kind of a deceiving term here, as this Atlanta aqua land is really more like SeaWorld without the animal abuse. Here you can scuba dive with whale sharks and manta rays, play with otters and penguins, work alongside Beluga trainers, or just stare into the world's largest indoor marine habitat. They'll even let you spend the night if you want, just don't expect the sea creatures to break out into a musical number.
If you had to pick one attraction, the Georgia Aquarium is a good one. Luckily, we don't have to pick just one.
Georgia has attractions to draw in tourists with myriad tastes.
Those looking for the offbeat can check out the Jimmy Carter peanut statue in Plains or one of the state's 50 labyrinths, including this one in Rome.
There are plenty more roadside attractions throughout the state, from a White House replica to the Doll's Head Trail.
For tourists who prefer walking instead of driving, here are five trails of varying terrain that everyone in the family is sure to enjoy.
Sun-worshippers have plenty of reasons to come to Georgia, too, including these 10 top beaches.
Atlanta has plenty of non-touristy attractions for visitors, too — from the Beltline to the Fox Theatre.
Why would tourists go anywhere else?
