Georgia aquarium, in Atlanta. They have a great amazon theme area, but best of all they have whale sharks...
Yes Atlanta is definitely on my bucket list, and an ultimate road trip to get there if I avoid the interstates!
Did you check out Ripley's Aquarium in Toronto ? I believe its there . Im not sure since I have never checked it out or even have gone that far for a few years . But I did read some good reviews on it. Happy hunting !
Im gonna represent the Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay hotel here in Las Vegas. They have decent FW section, including arapaima, arowana, giant gouramis, pirahna, and much more. It is a fairly small aquarium overall, HOWEVER,I believe it has the largest single tank (saltwater shark tank) west of the Mississippi.
I'm from ohio. We have the Newport aquarium. Don't know if I'd make a super long road trip for it but it's decent

Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans is the coolest one I have seen ...... With a Mississippi river section (huge gar and paddle fish) and upstairs was a huge Amazon river setup with *lots of FULL grown cichlids. I have not been there since Katrina(in which I heard they had some casualties)so I can only hope it is still there and as cool.
Go two hours north of Atlanta to Chattanooga, TN. The Tennessee Aquarium is WAY better. I went there many times. I only went to Atlanta once. I liked the Baltimore Aquarium mainly because of the rays.
Adventure Aquarium in Camden New Jersey and the Aquarium in Baltimore Maryland are the only two I have been to and they are nice.
The greatest aquarium in the country... The Shedd Aquarium.
