Why you should go…

Two buildings on the Chattanooga riverfront split the visit between fresh and salt water. River Journey follows water from an Appalachian cove forest with river otters down to the alligators of Delta Country and the oversized freshwater fish of River Giants. Ocean Journey holds the Secret Reef, jellies, a butterfly garden and Penguins' Rock with gentoo and macaroni penguins. Keeper and diver chats run through the day.
