Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies is an amazing place for both adults and children. There are many opportunities for learning in this interactive environment that is family-friendly. One of the best attributes of this aquarium is the tunnel where you will feel alive as the adrenaline is pumping from being up-close with sharks, stingrays, and various other sea life. You feel as though you are in the ocean with them as you gaze beside and above you…only much safer!!
You will find many kid-friendly activities as you explore the facility: touch-a-ray bay, penguin playhouse, touch horseshoe crabs in Discovery Center, crawl into tunnels inside mini-aquariums, glow-in-the-dark treehouse aquarium, and interactive displays with buttons to push so they participate in learning while having fun at the same time.
Since the kids are involved, you can stay for hours and enjoy their fascination. Along the way, you will find a Dippin’ Dots ice cream stand and a food court to feed the hungry kiddos so everyone can stay and have a pleasant experience.
The customer service was excellent and very friendly. I found this to be on the pricey side but well worth the investment for hours of fun entertainment! I highly recommend Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. Come and explore the wonders of the water!!!
FYI: Prices - $22 adults, $11 kids; Parking is cash only. The food court and ice cream stand take debit/credit.
