The Aquarium Restaurant in Nashville, Tennessee has made quite a name for itself. Although at first you may see it as a kitschy mall entertainment ploy, we’re here to tell you – it’s not. Not in the slightest. The quirky and fun atmosphere is perfect for families, a hidden gem that delivers again and again. Dinner is never the same twice!
Completely unassuming and tucked away in the Opry Mills Mall, you would have no idea the kind of experience that is hidden behind these doors.
Here you can see the entrance to the restaurant - already teeming with fishy wildlife. There are more than than 100 species of fish from all over the world throughout the restaurant.

Interesting fact? A diver enters the tank to feed the fish twice a day -- right there for all dining guests to see! Dinner and a show, folks.
