One of my favorite discoveries lately has been a selection of American aquariums that offer up different types of virtual visits! These are some of my favorites.

If you are looking to travel with your children and make things go a little more smoothly, here are some ideas for places to visit.

Children’s Museums

Children’s museums abound in large cities and your kids will love the experience of having a hands-on experience where they can explore and discover different things for their sights and senses.

Zoos and Aquariums

Who doesn’t love a good zoo or aquarium? Kids certainly do, and they will thank you for taking them to see animals break up the grind of a vacation full of doing more “adult-friendly” things. And it’s not like adults don’t love the experience, either!

Libraries and Toy Stores

Children will appreciate going to a library or a toy store where they can pick out something special to remember from their trip. Whether it’s the Livraria Lello in Porto, Portugal or Hamleys in London, they are sure to love spending an hour or two in a place where they can

Chattanooga, a city of around 180,000 residents on the Tennessee River in southeastern Tennessee, is a natural place for an aquarium that has a focus on freshwater life. The Tennessee River and the natural environment surrounding the city is rich in flora and fauna that are representative of North American freshwater systems.

Here, in addition to the newer saltwater exhibitions that the aquarium also has, you can see some of North America and the world’s most exciting and unique freshwater animals up close and personal.

Some of the highlights at the Tennessee Aquarium include the prehistoric sturgeon fish, playful river otters, giant catfish, and various turtle species that show off just how much there is to discover on Earth’s freshwater environments.

The River Journey Building, which hosts the freshwater exhibitions, was inaugurated in 1992 and continues to serve as a world pioneer for showcasing the beauty of freshwater life.

Any visitor to Chattanooga should definitely take the time to spend a morning or afternoon at this fascinating aquarium, which is truly unique.
