We first went to The Tennessee Aquarium shortly after we moved out here a few years ago. Prior to that I had only been to The Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta. I found The Georgia Aquarium too large and felt that it had a confusing layout, so I was very relieved when we went to The Tennessee Aquarium and it was the perfect size and I felt that it was a much better layout and had a clear path to lead you through all of the areas of the aquarium.
When my son was about five months old we went to The Tennessee Aquarium again and he was absolutely fascinated by everything. We decided then that we had to get a membership. The membership pays for itself in a few visits and is totally worth it. The Tennessee Aquarium is a great activity anytime of the year for families or even just adults, and we really enjoy their member events that they have several times a year. There is always something different you notice each visit and as many times as we have been there, it never gets old.
They recently expanded their otter exhibit and it is great. The otters are one of my favorite parts of the River Journey side of the aquarium so it is enjoyable seeing more otters now.
I also really enjoy the Delta Country part of River Journey. It really makes you feel like you are in the bayou as you walk through it.
My favorite area of the aquarium however is the Ocean Journey. It is always enjoyable to watch the penguins and get up close to the sharks.
The Tennessee Aquarium is great place to visit regardless if you live here or are just visiting. I greatly recommend checking it out and I promise that you won't be disappointed! You can find more information on The Tennessee Aquarium at http://www.tnaqua.org/.
