Sea World Orlando
I would consider that more of a theme park.

But it is an aquarium and generally considered one of the best if not the best in the U.S.
The Florida Aquarium in Tampa is also in the top 10 of most rankings.

I've only been to the Georgia Aquarium and the Aquarium of the Americas. Comparing the two, I would have to go with the N.O. Aquarium. IMHO, The only advantage Atlanta's aquarium had was it's size. Other than that it left that "this is it?" taste in our mouths.

Only ones i've ever been to. Both are great and very interactive.

According to Americasbestonline, Orlando is home to 3 of America's best Aquariums, including Seaworld. Aquariums From America's Best and Top Ten

The only ones on this list I've visited are Shedd, GA Aquarium, and Aquarium of the Americas. Of these three, I'd say I enjoyed Shedd the most.

Seattle is good.

Outside of North America, if you can get to Atlantis in the Bahamas, it's awesome.
