Welcome to the Georgia Aquarium! Today you will see huge fish.

You will see big whale sharks. You will see giant manta rays.

Follow these easy rules to stay safe and have fun. First, use your walking feet.

Do not run near the big glass windows. The floor can be wet and slippery.

Next, keep your hands on your lap. Do not tap on the glass.

Tapping makes a loud noise for the fish. It can scare the whale sharks and rays.

Then, use your quiet inside voice. Whisper to your friends when you see a spotted shark.

Point softly when a flat manta ray swims by. They love to glide in the blue water.

Last, stay with your grown-up. Hold their hand so you do not get lost in the crowd.

Now you are ready to watch the giant sea friends. Enjoy the big blue ocean view!
