Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies
Look Out For Shark-Infested Mountains! The Smokies have always been known for their wildlife--species like black bears, bald eagles and red wolves have always seemed right at home here. Now you can add a few other names to that list. How about sharks, moray eels and stingrays? Smoky Mountain visitors and residents alike can view some of nature's most exotic undersea life in the protective comfort of downtown Gatlinburg. The $42 million, 100,000-plus square foot marine attraction is home to thousands of fish and other types of aquatic life from around the world. More than 1.3 million gallons of water (mostly man-made sea water) accommodate the various exhibits and displays located throughout the facility.
