The Tennessee Aquarium is a private, non-profit institution located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, offering a museum-like setting focused on aquatic life along the Tennessee River. Its exhibits trace a river's journey from Appalachian streams to the Gulf of Mexico, following the path of a raindrop. Since opening in 1992, the facility has expanded in size and animal populations while maintaining a mission to spark interest in water and the life it sustains and to promote its protection. As part of the museums, historical sites, and zoos sector, it serves visitors seeking educational experiences and an understanding of aquatic ecosystems. Based in Chattanooga, it functions as a regional resource for learning about freshwater habitats. In 2026 it opened the Scuttlebutt Reef Gallery inside its Ocean Journey building, reflecting ongoing growth.
