Great aquarium. Lots of info on different aquatic species. Great displays of fish and marine animals. Worth the visit and a good value. Has an underwater tunnel that is amazing.

It's on the small side but there were lots of fish. There is a large play place for the kiddos.

“Very disappointed with Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies. Compared to other Aquariums , it was underwhelming and nowhere near worth the price they charge. It’s a tourist trap, not a quality aquarium experience.

Not really a photo guy, but my nieces love these little guys so at least had to get some of them. Busy but not so crowded that we couldn't get around the exibits were well designed and informative if you like sharks, fish, penguins and other aquatic animals worth a visit especially on a colder/rainy day.

Aquarium is layed out nicely and was a fun experience. Very informative if you actually read about the different species.
