Review:
Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in downtown Gatlinburg is among the top rated aquariums in the country. The aquarium's tanks hold 1.4 million gallons of water and are home to more than 100 thousand marine animals.
The underwater tunnel at Ripley's is 340 feet long, making it one of the longest in the world. The tunnel allows visitors to get a close-up look at exotic sea creatures such as sharks, stingrays, and giant sea turtles. The Gatlinburg aquarium is a great option for families with children, as there are activities and exhibits throughout to engage visitors of all ages.
