Need a place to dump your pumpkin? A vantage point for Head of the Hooch? Have you missed the butterflies at the Tennessee Aquarium?
Here’s a look a look at what’s going on in the Chattanooga area this weekend.
OUT & ABOUT
– Tennessee Aquarium will repopulate its Butterfly Garden on Friday and bring back a digitally remastered Imax film, “Flight of the Butterflies,” to celebrate the insects’ arrival. The butterflies are a favorite sight in the Ocean Journey building, but they’ve been missing since early 2020 because of disruptions to the supply chain from Costa Rica. Admission to the aquarium, 1 Broad St., is $35 adults, $22 children 3-12. Tickets to the Imax, 201 Chestnut St., are $8. Combo tickets are available. tnaqua.org

Guests are discouraged from touching these fragile insects, but the butterflies often choose to alight on visitors.– Reflection Riding, 400 Garden Road, will host another Framework for the Future Walk-Through, explaining its plans to protect the 300-acre property with a conservation easement, at noon Friday (Dec. 3 is also available). This small group outing is free, but you must sign up. reflectionriding.org
