Chattanooga has traditionally marketed its tourist spots very aggressively, including its large aquariumAn aquarium is a clear-sided container (typically constructed of glass or high-strength plastic) in which water-dwelling plants and animals (usually fish) are kept in captivity. The term is also used of a public establishment that maintains a number of aq, caverns, and developments along the Tennessee River.
