| Whether you visit Gatlinburg and the
Great Smoky Mountains regularly, or you and your family are planning
your first visit, Ripley's Aquarium Of The Smokies is a MUST SEE
during your visit!
Ripley's Aquarium Of The Smokies 'much anticipated' Grand Opening
on this whopping 66 MILLION DOLLAR project was on December 15,
2000! This opening date was pushed back and pushed back, when
the local paper ran the story that the attraction may be opening
that weekend, it almost seemed 'to good to be true'.
Ripley's Aquarium Of The Smokies, did in fact open that following weekend! This was never a
'rushed' project, and many of the delays were simply due to the
management's un-willingness to compromise the animal's safety,
leaving no stone unturned, delivering this unsurpassed 'underwater
fantasy world' that will literally take your breath away!
Enjoy your guided 'sneak-preview' to
one of the most amazing sights ever visited by the writer.
