Guests can take off to the Tennessee Aquarium with reduced admission offer

Tennessee Aquarium’s  Alison Pryor joins News 12’s Amelia Greer to share how the aquarium just became more financially accessible and to preview their special “Blue Angels 3D” showing on IMAX.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) – The Tennessee Aquarium joins a new program this year to remove financial barriers for anyone wanting to learn more about aquatic life and nature.

The Tennessee Aquarium is now part of the “Museums for All” program which joins thousands of other institutions in ensuring that anyone is welcome to engage in educational experiences by offering a reduced cost. The aquarium now joins the Hunter Museum of American Art and Creative Discovery Museum as becoming financially accessible tourist attractions in Chattanooga.

For anyone receiving assistance benefits through the SNAP program from any state, they can purchase tickets to the Tennessee Aquarium at the reduced price of $5 per person for four tickets.

To purchase the reduced admission, it must be done in person at the Tennessee Aquarium ticketing office and present an EBT card and photo ID. Another form of payment is required to purchase tickets.

The reduced admission also applies to their 45-minute IMAX films.

Additionally, the aquarium is debuting the 45-minute, IMAX version of Blue Angels 3D on January 17. A special screening of the film will be held on January 23 at 6 P.M. which will feature Capt. Greg “Boss” Wooldridge, one of the former Blue Angels pilots, to do a Q&A after the film.
