The Tennessee Aquarium offers a great overall experience. Visitors can trace the path of water from the mountains to the sea and see native animals and remote creatures. Viewing the tanks from different levels is awesome and people learn so much about the rivers of the world. All ages would love the experience. It is a great way to spend half a day with many things to do and see. The staff are friendly and polite. Petting exhibits are the best parts and there are interactive options for kids to touch fish and stingrays. Penguins put on a cute show. The place is not busy on a Tuesday, so a one year old grandson can move around freely.
