Ripley's Aquarium Of The Smokies

My husband and I went to the Ripley's Aquarium when we went on our honeymoon to the Great Smokey Mountains. I had never been to an aquarium before, and I loved it. My husband, however, is an aquarium fanatic. He was impressed. He really enjoyed petting the stingrays. There were lots of things to see there, we could have spent more than one day there. Our camera battery ran out before the aquarium did, and that's saying alot! There is a tunnel where you are surrounded by a shark tank. You stand on a slow moving conveyer belt, so you have plenty of time to see everything in the shark habitat. Can you imagine a 12 foot long shark right above your head? It was spectacular! We bought a package of tickets to the various Ripley's attractions in the area, so I'm not sure exactly what the price to the aquarium was, but in all, I thought it was a great package.
