Pros: Rare animals, great exhibits
Cons: Price, Crowds

Lately, I've heard a lot of people say that they were somewhat disappointed upon visiting the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. I'm not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that people don't see the bright, exotic fishes like they...

I just got back from my second trip to the Tennessee Aquarium. I won't go into the price detail or hours of operation as you can get that in every other review and I find that duplication of information unnecessary. I will share with you, however, that...

Pros: Big aquariums and up-close looking.
Cons: Overcrowding.

First of all I live in Tennessee, and about an hour away from the Aquarium. Last year we thought it would be a nice pre-birthday present for our four year old daughter. It wasn't really a poor decision, but it was one I will never do again.

Cons: not one bad thing to say.

Just to see the 22 pound bass alone was worth the trip.
I stopped at the Tennessee aquarium on my way from the midwest to Florida, a little midday rest from driving. I have been recommending it to friends ever since, as one of the better aquariums...
