Located on the banks of the Tennessee River in Chattanooga and surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains, the Tennessee Aquarium tells the story of the river – following the path of a raindrop from the streams of an Appalachian Forest to the Gulf of Mexico – from the mountains to the sea. Although the Aquarium has grown in size and in animal population since it’s opening in 1992, its story and its mission as a private, non-profit institution have remained the same; ‘to inspire wonder, appreciation and protection of water and all life that it sustains.’
The Tennessee Aquarium also operates the IMAX 3D Theater and the River Gorge Explorer. Just a block away from the Tennessee Aquarium, IMAX lets you plunge into an amazing underwater adventure or travel to the farthest reaches of the universe at Chattanooga’s premiere movie theatre. Located at the Chattanooga Pier, the River Gorge Explorer is the Southeast’s only high-speed catamaran and allows you to travel at speeds of up to 50 mph with an Aquarium naturalist down the Tennessee River.
My family is heading to Chattanooga this coming weekend. We love this city and love to make weekend trips there as much as possible. One of the first things we do upon arriving is head to the aquarium. Such an amazing way to spend the afternoon.
{Looking for places to stay in Chattanooga? We recommend staying at The Chattanoogan Hotel. Why?}

Have you visited the TN Aquarium before? If so, what was your favorite part? If not, why do you hope to win these passes?
Because I have always wanted to see the aquarium since I was a kid. I was told it was kid friendly, more hands on, and the the largest 🙂
I have been thought it has been a long time. I like petting the stingrays. I would love to win and be able to take my daughter on her first aquarium trip!!
We are in the process of moving to Knoxville soon and we have been talking about heading to Chattanooga to go to the aquarium.
I went years ago as a child right after it opened and
Loved it. I would love to go back and take my family this time.
Tennessee is on my travel bucket list. I’ve always wanted to go, especially after I heard from many friends and family how terrific the sites were. We have a local aquarium but it’s very expensive and we’re a family of six. So 4 free passes would be a thrill! I would one day also like to visit Dollywood.
First of all, I am SO EXCITED to find this giveaway! I have not been to the Tennessee Aquarium, but I absolutely would love to! My family and I will be in Chattanooga this August and this would be an amazing addition to our trip! Our 3 year old daughter adores animals and we would be thrilled to visit one of the best aquariums there is!
I have never been to the aquarium before, but have been wanting to go for many years. Hoping I can win these passes! 🙂
We live less than 2 hours away and my kids love this place.
We have never visited there. I would love to win them because it would be a cool place to visit!
Ohh… the aquarium is always so much fun! If only we lived near one! 🙂 This is a great giveaway for a family!
We have never been to the TN Aquarium but would love to go. Pictures look like a pretty awesome place to take the kiddos. Thank you!
We have never been either, but live in Nashville and would love to go!
I’ve not been to the aquarium in Chatanooga; only to the one in Houston and the one in NOLA. I hear the one in Chatanooga is much nicer than both of the others.
I would take my family. There are four of us. Doncha know that’s why you have four tickets? For us! 😎
We’ve never been to the Chattanooga aquarium but would LOVE to take Jovie! Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway. 🙂
We love the Tennessee Aquarium! I would absolutely love to be able to go back. Thanks for the opportunity.
My daughter’s favorite part was the shark tank.
Yes, we have been to the Aquarium (we live about 30 mins away), but my 4 year old was a little baby the last time we went. I am sure he would love it now!!
I have been, and love all of it. But my grandbabies haven’t gotten to go. I would love to take them!
We LOVE the TN Acquarium! Our oldest is wants to be a zoologist. Every time we go we have to walk through it twice. The butterfly room is probablyy favorite part.
I’ve been to this Aquarium before but it has been a long time. Would like to visit again.
We’ve never been but have always wanted to go 🙂
Yes! We love the TN aquarium and would love to go again. We love the butterfly exhibit!
I would love to win! We have never been and our little princess loves fish right now! This would be a perfect getaway for our family! We could even take my grandmother who takes care of her while we work!
I have been once, it was probably about 12 yrs ago with my sister and brother. I liked everything really but loved seeing the shark display they had back then
