Place Review Evaluation


For this blog, I would like to review about Georgia Aquarium's review made by Edward Rothstein.
In this review, the author's claim is "Georgia Aquarium is one of the largest aquarium in the world." His evidences is from the number of fish, number of tourists that have visited the aquarium, the number of gallery, etc.
He states his evidences by using statistics of size and number: over 100,000 fish are displayed in five galleries and 60 habitats in the more than 500,000 square foot building. He also states that even with the admission of $22.75 for adults, the demand is still so high that the building is often sold out and a million visitors have come since the opening.

In his review, he also tells about a brief history about the aquarium, its sponsor and how it is built. He also tells that there is also restaurant and ballroom inside the aquarium that can be rented. He also critics the aquarium, saying that it is often too crowded during the weekends.
He also included some photo of Georgia Aquarium in his blog. Therefore, his readers can see what Georgia Aquarium looks like. In his review, the standard that he uses is by counting the number of visitors in one year and also by the attractions the place of interest (Georgia Aquarium) provide. In his review, he writes about some species of fishes as examples. Nevertheless, we can still understand his review even though we don't know the fish.
In the end, I agree with the author stating that Georgia Aquarium is one of the largest aquarium of the world; by looking from its number of visitors, number of fishes, and number of gallery.

Georgia Aquarium is definitely one of the best attraction located in metro-Atlanta. It is surprising to have the biggest aquarium in the world located near our college. The review does support well to the claim and tells all the feature there is. The aquarium is great place to go~
