Make dinner an adventure at Aquarium Restaurant, where families can enjoy a meal surrounded by a spectacular underwater setting. Located at Opry Mills, the restaurant offers an experience that goes well beyond an ordinary night out, making it a fun choice for a family dinner, special celebration or kids’ birthday party.
For children, the excitement really begins with the restaurant’s Bottom of the Sea Birthday Party. The birthday experience includes a kid-friendly meal with a choice of chicken tenders or cheese pizza, a balloon bouquet for the birthday child, Cherry ICEE beverages served in a Sharkey character souvenir cup, and a make-your-own sundae. Each child also receives an animal plush party favor, while Sharkey, the restaurant’s mascot, can make an appearance upon request and availability. Birthday parties include a reserved dining area for the celebration.
The underwater theme makes it easy to build a memorable birthday around a child’s favorite ocean creatures. Families can also add special experiences to the celebration, including a private mermaid meet-and-greet, a mermaid meet-and-greet with swim experience, a behind-the-scenes aquarium tour or a Marine Biologist for a Day program for eligible ages.
Planning a birthday here also means parents can enjoy dinner while the kids have plenty to look at and talk about. The restaurant offers group and private-event options for birthday celebrations and other family occasions, with its underwater setting providing a built-in theme without requiring parents to transform a party room themselves.
For a child who loves sharks, mermaids, fish and ocean adventures, Aquarium Restaurant turns an ordinary birthday dinner into an experience. It’s a party destination where the meal, setting and entertainment all work together to create a celebration kids are likely to remember.
