Ideen SolhtalabOctober 25, 2011Enjoy the mesmerizing shark walkway...with the music, sharks, and slow moving walkway, it feels a bit surreal.
Chris ThompsonFebruary 9, 2011To get the best photos, turn off your flash. Otherwise you'll see it reflected in every shot.
Stephanie HawleySeptember 2, 2012This place has a larger variety of fish in better displays than SeaWorld! - seriously!
Adam C.October 23, 2011Great aquarium! Try to avoid busy weekends or you can spend a lot of time waiting

Christy LiveryNovember 3, 2012Had a nice time especially being military it was 4.99 to get it!! Regular fee is 24.99.
Katie SheetzMarch 11, 2012With military discount, only $4.99 OR $26 for all Ripley's attractions in Gatlinburg.
Mike DriehorstJuly 30, 2013Nice aquarium. Nothing unusual that'd you'd expect from Ripley's. Overall, overpriced not a good value. (Family of 6 with 2 priced as kids, a bit under $160.)
David SammonsDecember 24, 2011Very nice lay out. Very educational but pricey. However, the enjoyment my kids got out of it was priceless.
Greenbrier Valley VacationsAugust 4, 2011This place is a must when you visit the Smoky Mountains. You won't be disappointed!
A SJune 15, 2016Not the best. With so many attractions in town, I would skip this one, unless you have kids that would enjoy the aquarium.
