Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies! Turtle Fun! #WordlessWednesday

July 25, 2012 by Dawn McAlexander

Sea Turtle at Ripley’s Aquarium in the Great Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Sea turtle at Ripley's

Check out this sea turtle picture that I took at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg. It swam directly over our heads as we walked through the tunnel! We always make sure to go to Ripley’s Aquarium when we vacation in either the Great Smoky Mountains or Myrtle Beach, SC. This is definitely something that I consider the highlight of the trip!

    The aquarium is always a highlight on our trip to the zoo, but I’ve never been to a free standing one. I need to change that! Thanks for the great photo!
