HOMESCHOOL
DAY
Our Homeschool Day this winter will
be Monday, January 28th, 2008.
We have averaged over 600 home school participants the last couple
of years so don’t miss out on this wonderful day. We
are still offering great discounts for admission to the Tennessee
Aquarium, the IMAX Theatre, and gift shops in each facility.
Free animal programs will be offered in the auditorium from 11:00
to 3:00 and special Behind-the-Scenes tours will be offered just
for this day. So mark your calendars today so that you won’t
miss this special day of fellowship with other home school students
and their families.
