Yes, they do. If the sponsor of the family is on active duty the discount applies to his family. If a veteran the discount only applies to the veteran. I am not sure about retired personnel if they only get the discount for the veteran or if they get the family discount.
So it says the Tennessee aquarium closes at 5pm but there’s a booking option for 4:30 pm. That would only be 30 mins? Or would they allow us the amount of time we’re supposed to get to see both buildings??
A:
They do close at 6: 00 PM. for both buildings. They stop letting people in at 5:00 PM. Some displays do not take much time to visit and others take more. Enjoy. I would go back.
