Jellyfish, slugs and eels, oh my! Please experience this ode to ooze, even if you aren't an eight-year old boy! If it's been awhile, or if you have never been to Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg, now is the time for a visit this spring. Not exactly the green bucket stuff, but it's just as fascinating to short people, and frankly, to adults too. Want to touch a jellyfish? Try it here, with much more.
The new Slime Exhibition adds an exciting and interesting addition this season. This exhibit replaces last season's popular dinosaurs display. The Slime Exhibition is a hands-on experience: enjoy the Jellyfish Encounter, interactive displays, and multiple aquarium tanks featuring aquatic animals in their habitats, and how they use slime in their lives. Over thirty exhibits are featured in this area, providing as much "gross knowledge" as anyone could desire.
Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies is a world-class living museum. The permanent exhibits make the Gatlinburg location the #1 ranked aquarium in the nation by Tripadvisor reviews. Over 10,000 creatures of 350 different species live here. Penguins, sharks, rays and many more make this "zen water getaway" a whole family pleaser for both fun and education. Located in the heart of Gatlinburg at Parkway and River Road, the aquarium is also adjacent to the city trolley stop, making this attraction simple to access.
So after you check into your Gatlinburg rental cabin, make sure to include Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies on your vacation adventure list this trip.
