The aquarium, Chattanooga’s most visited attraction, has long been rated the number one aquarium in the country for visitor satisfaction. From the freshwater exhibits in the River Journey building to the underwater voyage in the Ocean Journey building, the full depth of marine biodiversity is on display.

The aquarium has two buildings: one for freshwater (river and lake) fish and another for seawater.  Unlike other aquariums, this one has more emphasis on freshwater fish than seawater ones.

The aquarium is designed in such a way that the visitors are to follow one path.
