Discovery Hall gallery press kit

Explore an underwater world where vibrantly colored sunfish float like jewels, or take a peek into a swamp nursery where baby alligators bask. Reach out and touch an ancient-looking lake sturgeon while you learn more about this "king of fishes."

Opened March 16, 2002, the new gallery, located on the Aquarium's third floor, will showcase some of this region's most bizarre and beautiful creatures. From the strange spatula-shaped snout of the paddlefish to the huge claws of the painted river prawn, Discovery Hall will give guests an up-close look at the animals' remarkable adaptations.

If you can't find it here, email or call Thom Benson at 423-785-3007 in the Tennessee Aquarium communications department.
