Attractions - Tennessee Aquarium

Tennessee Aquarium
Located on the banks of the Tennessee River in Chattanooga and surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains, the Tennessee Aquarium takes visitors on a remarkable journey from the mountains to the sea.
Beneath its six magnificent glass peaks, guests explore three living forests and meet amazing creatures that swim, fly and crawl in natural habitats. Discover giant catfish, crazy otters, prehistoric sturgeon, enormous snapping turtles and baby gators. Or deep sea dive where fierce sharks, stealthy stingrays and colorful reef fish glide through amazing coral formations. Experience a shark and ray touch pool, mysterious jellyfish and a rainforest where visitors are surrounded by hundreds of free-flying butterflies. In Penguins' Rock, see macaroni and gentoo penguins waddle, walk and dive in to the water to rocket past you.
After visiting the Aquarium, relax and enjoy Under the Sea 3D at the Imax Theater.
