The Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga is by far one of the finest aquariums we have visited. We have been to aquariums in Atlanta, (which we will never return to), New Orleans, and Baltimore. Although it is not the largest, it is by far the easiest to get around. The layout is "people friendly." There are plenty of places to sit... more

I have been gong here for the past three years. We make a trip with my kids ( 5,6) They love it and so do we. There is enough space for you to enjoy your time and let your kids explore without having to be right on top of them. Last time we were there on school field trip day... more

This is the main thing we chose Chattanooga for. My 7 yr old wanted to go to a big aquarium and the reviews for this were great. This was the first thing we did on our trip. We went in Oct., so it wasn't crowded at all. We got there when it opened and planned on going into the Ocean... more

What a totally awesome experience!!! I traveled with my mom and we visited both "journeys" and also saw the 3D IMAX feature. We had such a great time and loved all that we saw. We were blown away by the different creatures we saw in River Journey, I didn't even know some of the creatures actually existed. We set aside... more

This is one of the best aquariums Ive ever been to, by far the best in Tennessee. A must stop in Chattanooga, especially if you have kids. Really liked the underwater tunnels. more

The Tennessee Aquarium was excellent. I have been to other aquariums such as Shedd and Monterrey Bay and I found that this aquarium is at the same level as those great places. I found that in the River Journey building the layout was great. It made sure that people keep moving and can get to all of the exhibits without... more

Really nice. We always go to Aquariums becuase my kids love them But this was more than an Aquarium. They have a butterfly zone, birds, snakes and more. We took about an hour and a quarter in each building ( going slow for the kids ) and every corner had a new surprise. They got to touch the sturgeon and... more

My husband and I took a short honeymoon to Chattanooga, TN and visited the aquarium. It was simply awesome. My husband is wheelchair bound and did not have any difficulty get around. We sent half a day going thru the exhibits and enjoying ourselves. I also did several pressed pennies while I was there. more

The Tennessee Aquarium was a five minute walk from our hotel and is located very near the waterfront of the river. The whole downtown had a comfortable feeling with many people milling about going out to eat and shop. The Aquarium was impressive with one building dedicated to salt water habitats and the other fresh water. The viewing angles where... more
