The best aquarium we've visitedA beautiful aquarium with several interactive exhibits. A great place to go as a family. My 8 year old and 5 year old can't wait to go back. They have a couple of areas you can touch the fish and a butterfly garden where butterflies will land on your finger.0 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALL

Spend the Day there!If you are only in Chattanooga for only one day. You must visit Tennessee Aquarium, there are two buildings to visit. There are tons of beautiful fishes to view. Plus they have sharks! Although, I was looking forward to seeing a whale or a dolphin in the Ocean Building (but there wasn't any).
Aquarium is set in a perfect location where ...5 of 6 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEW

Can't wait to get back!The Tennessee Aquarium is a great example of what an aquarium should be. This was our second visit, and our first to the Ocean Voyager building. We are from Atlanta, and have season passes to the Georgia Aquarium, and any day I would rather drive to Chattanooga for a visit to the Tenn. Aqua. I would also highly recommend the "Behind the ...4 of 4 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Awesome AquariumThis aquarium makes our local aquarium look like a goldfish bowl! Both buildings were great as far as layout and content. I have never seen so many fish in one building.0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulOVERALLAtmosphereValue

Good AquariumMy wife and I visited the aquarium with our 3-year-old daughter. It was a good aquarium.
The layout of both buildings was well-done. You take an escalator to the top and then work your way down to the bottom floor.
One building deals with river environments, while the other one is about oceans.
My daughter loved the butterfly area, she ...1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

Good place for childrenWe visited Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga in May 2005. We were so excited to see it. When we arrived, it took us 30 minutes to find a parking lot for the car. It was not so terrible as the most terrible experience we had: that we had to wait in line for extra 1 hour to buy the tickets and extra 2 hours to get in the aquarium. We advise you buy ...1 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

Very disappointedThe part we saw was ok but I paid almost fifty dollars for tickets to find out several days later there were two different buildings. I took my grandchildren and no one explained there were two different buidings to see. They were looking forward to the butterflies which we didn't find. I have told a lot of people how horrible it was before ...2 of 6 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulSHOW FULL REVIEWOVERALL

Under the SeaThe aquarium was great. The tickets are expensive, but considering the size of the aquarium and the fact that it is located in two separate buildings, it's probably worth what you pay. Don't save it for the end of the day when you're tired or you will not be able to give it the attention it deserves and the children will be whiney. ...1 of 1 Yahoo!

WonderfulMy family and I went here on vacation and it was very nice. They have a good selection of fish and Oh! the butterfly garden was spectacular, definitely a must see. I do wish there had been a little bit more variety in the animals though. The building itself was very beatiful and nice.
I would consider visiting the aquarium, I think anyone would enjoy it.OVERALLAtmosphereValue
