Sleep
in the Deep
Ever
dream of sleeping under the peaks alongside sharks,
stingrays and more? Now’s your chance.
Come ‘sleep in the deep’ and wake up
to a whole new world.
Your
fast paced adventure takes you on a whirlwind
tour around our world as you tour both River Journey
and Ocean Journey. We will make some stops to take
you where the aquarists and divers go and give
you some idea of what it’s like to be part of the
Aquarium team. We’ll have some time for a snack
and meet with some of our critters up close and see
what it’s like in the Aquarium after the lights
go down. And just when your eyes can’t stay
open any longer, we’ll bed down alongside
our largest exhibits where you can dream about
all the magnificent creatures found in the Tennessee
Aquarium.
