As the forecast predicted, Tuesday was a rainy day. Fortunately, we had enough indoor things to do to keep us occupied. We started our day at the Tennessee Aquarium. What makes the Tennessee Aquarium so good is that it is located in two separate buildings- one for freshwater and one for saltwater animals. In my opinion, the freshwater building is the nicer one- so we went here first. We saw all sorts of fish, otters, alligators, frogs, and other creatures. There was a freshwater touch tank where the kids got to touch the sturgeons. The otters were very active and were also a favorite.
After finishing up at the freshwater building, we took a lunch break at the River City Brewing Company- a favorite from our previous trip to Chattanooga- and then returned to explore the saltwater building. There were also touch tanks in the saltwater building. The kids enjoyed getting hands-on with the rays and other sorted fish. The saltwater building contained lots of species of marine life- including penguins, sharks, jellyfish, and even a butterfly garden . This is a great aquarium, and we enjoyed our visit.
