Tennessee Aquarium

City: Chattanooga, TN
Region: East Tennessee

Dive into two worlds of wonder and excitement. Begin with the freshwater exhibits housed in the River Journey building. Watch river otters playing in a cove forest. An alligator and giant snapping turtle will thrill in a delta swamp. Gaze in awe at fantastic seahorses and seadragons. The adventure continues in the Ocean Journey building. Explore the chilly world of “Penguins’ Rock” the home of amazing gentoo and macaroni penguins. Big toothy sharks and thousands of colorful reef fish swirl all around an impressive reef. Delight as a multitude of beautiful butterflies flutter throughout a tropical garden. Reach out and touch a shark or ray. Get up close to wonders of nature above and below the water. Experience two aquariums in one great city - Chattanooga.

Practically next door to the Tennessee Aquarium, the massive six-story-high IMAX 3D Theater combines breathtaking crystal clear 3D images with state-of-the-art six channel IMAX digital sound. You’ll feel like you’re diving deep within the ocean or exploring the outer reaches of the solar system. Purchase an Aquarium & IMAX combo ticket to save money!

Climb aboard the NEW River Gorge Explorer and experience “Tennessee's Grand Canyon” as it was meant to be seen - from the water. Located across the street from the Aquarium, this 70 passenger high-speed catamaran is the first of its kind in the Southeast. Aquarium visitors can extend their “mountains to the sea” adventure by cruising into the Tennessee River Gorge aboard this sleek vessel. An Aquarium naturalist will lead you into this protected habitat, pointing out wildlife and historic points of interest along the way.
