Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies

Ripley's Aquarium: Touch Stingrays & Walk the Shark Tunnel

Skip the main floor chaos and head straight for the Shark Lagoon. The moving sidewalk takes you through an underwater tunnel while sand tigers circle right over your head. It feels surprisingly close. Spend 90 minutes here, mostly in the touch tanks where you can actually feel the stingrays. Go on a Tuesday morning if you hate screaming toddlers. It is a tourist trap, but the massive jellyfish displays honestly look great for your feed.
