Part 2 Aquarium....
Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga is one of my favorites & this was my third visit. It is only about 2 hours from Atlanta Aquarium. Chattanooga is a very nice clean area and has lot of things to do & see & eat all in a walking distance. A good place to take a family trip.
There is a new addition to the Aquarium with a second building next door. You start by going up to the top level. The first exhibit was my favorite. A South American lagoon with a channel that ran under a bridge where it went around an island that had a pair of rare macaws.
There was some arowanas a nice trio of leopoldi sting rays & one tiger sting ray that were so awsome I could have stayed there for a good part of the day. Next was a rock formation salt water pool which many zoos & aquariums have now of bonnet head hammer head sharks and small rays that you can touch. next was a butterfly room. Then on to that main exhibit of a large salt tank that was done very nicely because it was like going into a cavern of caves and different openings to see different angles of the same large salt tanks with sharks and many other types of fish in a natural setting. Most aquariums have the half circle or the tube you walk through so this was different and I like very much. Other displays including Jelly Fish, cuddle fishes and more. Then you move to the main building witch house some large fresh water exhibits and a large salt tank also. They also have turtle exhibits which were really cool. There is much more but you need to go check it out yourself.
