Another family-friendly activity that’s especially exciting this season?
Visiting the Tennessee Aquarium for ODDtober, a month-long celebration of strange creatures, fall feelings, and uncanny events.
Here’s what we recommend checking out at the aquarium this month:
- Underwater pumpkin carving | Saturdays in October | 2 p.m. | Watch scuba divers carve jack-o'-lanterns underwater. Bonus: Want to carve an aquarium animal yourself for NOOGAtoday’s pumpkin contest? Try one of these TN Aquarium templates.
- Electric eel exhibit | Daily | Aquarium hours | Stop by Miguel Wattson’s exhibit to see pumpkins flicker along with his pulses.
- Not-so-scary species | Daily | Aquarium hours | Roam the museum and learn why some seemingly creepy species are actually pretty cool — you may even get the chance to touch them.
- Aquascarium 2023 | Friday, Oct. 27 | 4-8 p.m. | Don your costume and enjoy a family-friendly night of candy stations, photo-ops, and fun.
