ATLANTA - Splashing into spring break at Tennessee Aquarium:  

Just as it’s a tradition for local families to head up to Chattanooga for Spring Break, it’s a tradition for Good Day Atlanta to spend a morning there every March highlighting activities in and around Tennessee Aquarium. 

So, now that temperatures are warming and flowers are blooming, we knew we needed to make the drive up Interstate 75 and doing it again this year! 

This morning, the Good Day Atlanta team did a little "continent-hopping" at Tennessee Aquarium, getting a look at fascinating animals from around the world. 

In case you’ve never been, the aquarium consists of two buildings, known as River Journey and Ocean Journey, which together contain more than 12,000 animals representing every continent on earth. Popular galleries include Delta Country (check out those American alligators and alligator snapping turtles!), Rivers of the World (don’t miss the red-bellied piranhas), and Penguins’ Rock (do we even need to tell you what you’ll find there?). 

Right now, visitors to the aquarium can also check out a pair of IMAX films playing at the Tennessee Aquarium IMAX 3D Theater across the street: "Australia’s Great Wild North 3D" and "Ocean Odyssey 3D," which follows a humpback whale and her calf on a trek from the Great Barrier Reef to the coast of Antarctica. IMAX tickets cost $8 for adults and children.

Dr. Maneesha Agarwal of Children's Health Care of Atlanta gives tips for National Poison Prevention week: 

There are common household items that can harm your child and how to store them properly. Cleaning supplies such as bleach and cleaning spray, or even laundry detergent pods and nail polish remover can be extremely harmful to your child if ingested. These items and medications should be stored up, away and out of sight of children. Most containers are child-resistant, not childproof, so if they are not stored properly, your child can possibly open them. 

You should also be mindful of small toys or items that contain button batteries. More than 2,500 button batteries are ingested each year in the U.S. and can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. 

Parents should also talk to other caregivers, like grandparents, to ensure they take the same precautions of storing supplies and medicine to keep your child safe. It’s also important to teach teens about proper dosage for over-the-counter medications.  

In case of an emergency, a parent should have the poison control center phone number on hand by storing this number in their phone 1-800-222-1222.
