Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

One of the finest aquariums in the Southeast. The Shark Lagoon moving walkway, Stingray Bay touch tank, and Penguin Playhouse make it a standout for all ages. Genuinely world-class.

Insider tip: Arrive right at opening to beat the crowds. The moving walkway through Shark Lagoon is the highlight — sharks glide overhead and below simultaneously.

Area: Gatlinburg
