Celebrate Oddtober at the Tennessee Aquarium

It’s Oddtober all month at the Tennessee Aquarium!
What is Oddtober? A way to celebrate Halloween at the Tennessee Aquarium!

You can see the animals in disguises and decorations!  Want more?  See SCUBA divers showing off their pumpkin-carving skills, UNDERWATER!

The kids can snag a free collectible sticker from the gift shop as long as they mention ODDtober.

The pumpkin-carving takes place each Saturday at 1 p.m.
At the IMAX 3D Theater, two 45-minute films invite viewers to discover some of nature’s most mysterious environments.
At the end of the month, Friday, October 27, guests are invited to wear their favorite costumes to explore the Aquarium after hours for Aquascarium (get it?) which begins at 4 p.m. with the final entry at 7 p.m.
