Visit Chattanooga has a fantastic lineup of tours available to WITS attendees. These day tours are only for attendees with a confirmed ticket in their name to WITS 2026.

Join an Aquarium Educator and Aquarist behind the scenes of Ocean Journey to assist in feeding our schooling fishes in the Secret Reef exhibit and learn about the nutritional needs of other marine life in this habitat. You will spend half an hour in the afternoon participating in a unique experience and learning about the animals from the aquarists who care for them. Feed your curiosity alongside our animals during this one-of-a-kind Aquarium experience. The Feeding Frenzy tour involves contact with shellfish and other seafood. Those with allergy concerns are advised against participating or should contact us for more information. Tickets will be provided to visit the Aquarium afterwards as a regular guest.
