ATLANTA, May 7 (UPI) -- The Georgia Aquarium announced Tuesday a partnership with Marineland of Florida to set up a dolphin exhibit described as Atlanta's "next big wow."
The exhibit's predicted cost is $110 million, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. The exhibit will include a 1.3-million-gallon tank.
The aquarium plans to break ground this summer and to open the exhibit in 2010.
"This is the next 'big wow' ... that will continue to bring millions of people to downtown Atlanta and make it the most interesting and most exciting facility in the world," Bernie Marcus, the aquarium's founder, said in a news release.
Jim Jacoby of Marineland, who sits on the aquarium's board, has offered to provide trained dolphins, Marcus said. The aquarium is to donate $1.5 million for a research, rescue and care center at Marineland.
