Holiday Cheers (21+) at the Tennessee Aquarium

The Tennessee Aquarium holds Holiday Cheers, an after-hours evening in its River Journey building, on Friday, November 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. The aquarium lists it as a 21-and-up event, with IDs checked at the door.

Guests walk the River Journey galleries after closing, with holiday decorations and lights along the path. The aquarium says each ticket includes two drink tickets (beer, wine, or a spike for hot mulled cider or cocoa), plus a hot chocolate bar, a mulled cider bar, a mac-and-cheese bar and holiday crafts. The Chattanooga Elf keeps guests company while they wait for Santa to arrive.

Tickets are $45, or $40 for members, and a designated driver ticket without alcohol is $35, per the aquarium. Book on the aquarium event page.
