Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies
features America's most visited
state-of-the-art, amazing 1.4 million gallon aquarium. Along with
finding 11-foot sharks, you will also come across 8,000 other sea
creatures from across the globe. In the Tropical Rain Forest you
will find some hungry piranhas, in the Coral Reef there are many
Indo-Pacific fish to be awed. While making your way through the
longest aquarium tunnel in the world (340 FT), you will have the
chance to go beneath Shark Lagoon and even pick up a horeshoe crab or
two in Discovery Center. Hopefully you're ready to come face-on with
a giant octopus in the Gallery of Seas and maybe even touch a sting
ray in Touch-A-Ray Bay.

The public classroom gives guests the chance to learn about the wonderful
and exotic life that exists under the waters. A Ripley's host will give a presentation
and show a video on one of the narrated dive shows. At this time, you will
also have the chance to have an amazing lunch or dinner buffet.
