Tennessee Aquarium features the River Journey and Ocean Journey buildings in Chattanooga, where visitors explore freshwater and marine ecosystems through two connected aquarium exhibits. The River Journey building showcases Tennessee's native species including Lake Sturgeon in the Ridges to Rivers gallery, while the Ocean Journey building houses marine life and features the Butterfly Garden. Guests can watch Penguins Rock talks, Diver Chats at the Secret Reef exhibit, and Exhibit Feeding Dives at the River Giants tank. The facility also operates an IMAX 4K with Laser theater showing documentary films. A visit typically takes two to two and a half hours across both buildings. Admission deals are available: SNAP benefits cardholders and up to three guests receive $5 tickets, while Tennessee residents who are foster parents and their children receive 50% discount on general admission or $8 per person for IMAX documentaries.
