Ditch the shopping and the worrying for a day and take the kids to the Aquarium! Chattanooga is only about 2 hours away and will provide a nice day of holiday cheer.
Catch a wave of fun at the Tennessee Aquarium
Tropically clad “Santa” divers will lead visitors on an adventure through a spectacular coral reef filled with big, toothy sharks and a multitude of colorful fish. Move into the shallows at Shark Island where keepers will be feeding guitarfish, stingrays and bamboo sharks. Relax and reach out. All of the aquatic residents at Shark Island are friendly and welcome the human touch.
The fun extends throughout both buildings at the Tennessee Aquarium. Recharge while enjoying the exotic animals that dwell in the tropical habitats in the Rivers of the World gallery in River Journey. Or check out the high energy antics of the river otters during “enrichment” time. See what happens when treats like ice and toys mix with the Aquarium’s wacky otters. No passports are required to hopscotch the world to see seahorses and seadragons. Enjoy watching these animals from Tasmania to Southeast Asia during an afternoon feeding show.
