The one in Chattanooga?

Just don't let them swim with any man-eating undersea creatures and they'll be just fine.

It's in Chattanooga.

We took my son there last year. It's nice and i'm sure he will enjoy him/herself. I think they are doing a thing on seahorses right now?

Ive been there before. I live close to Chattanooga....the tanks are hugh though and may make you or one of the kids dizzy. All of the tanks surrounding you and with their distortive viewing plays tricks on your eyes at times. But it is really cool and worth seeing some of the stuff there. Also, yes they are doing seahorses....a month or two ago it was Jellyfish.

- Don't stick your hand into the shark tank and wiggle your fingers.

- Bring a fishing pole

Don't use a flash on your camera... unless you are shooting at an angle to the glass....

Also, you can stress out octopus very badly if you use a flash on them... which can kill them after enough flashes.

Chattanooga has one?

Go to the one in Gatlinburg. I've heard it's as good or possibly better than the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago (was there last April and enjoyed it...Shedd, that is.)

The Chattanooga Aquarium rocks -- I've been there twice myself and enjoyed it thoroughly both times.

Just don't bring a camera to take pictures unless you leave the flash off. Even then, it gets pretty dark in there at times and is hard to see the processed photos.
