This place has some nice features, like the clear tunnel that goes under the aquarium, but over-all it is not worth $20 a person. It was just OK. We will not go back again. If I compare it to other Aquariums, I would say this is the least impressive. The "shows" are merely divers going into the tanks and feeding... more

This attraction is nice but the one just south is much better. This aquarium does have several exhibits. It is somewhat crowded most of the time so you can not see things very easy. It does not have very many people walking around so you can ask question to in reference to the exhibits in this aquarium. more

We had never gone to this aquarium because of the price, but we decided to do it this year. I was hesitant because I am terrified of sharks, but I went anyway. We all loved it. You can rent a locker when you go in the door for $1 for 2 hours to put your purse/backpack in so you don't... more

I’m no aquarium connoisseur but I thought the Ripley’s Aquarium was pretty great. It features all manner of exotic marine life with some fun things for kids. The facility is very nice and the staff was friendly and helpful. My kids loved it, and that’s the acid test for me. We were there about an hour and a half and... more

We visited the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies last November. It was a great aquarium and had a wide variety of animals. I would recommend to any family! We loved the walk through fish tank! more

There were so many "tourist traps" in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area, but this one had the most appeal. I thought it was a bit overpriced, but attractions in tourist towns always are. Thankfully, they offered a military discount and we saved a lot off of the regular admission price... very nice perk! So, if you are active or retired military... more

We went to the aquarium on a very rainy Saturday. The aquarium was very well done and decorated well for kids. It is open and light (compared to the aquarium in our area that is very dark, and not decorated very kid friendly). There was a neat area about dangerous animals, and a cool beach scene. It was very busy... more
