The Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg TN is similar, the kids always love it.

    Always wild to me how good that place is while being in an otherwise kind of random mountain tourist town.

    It really is a treasure aint it? I live about 2hrs drive from there, we try to take the kids every year or so.

    Also helps that Dollywood is right there. I grew up near Orlando so when I moved here ~20 years ago I never expected to enjoy a theme park and an aquarium more than the ones I grew up with, but here we are.

    I've never been! I always assumed it would be kinda trash, to be honest. I grew up coastal, and our aquariums were awesome. I'll have to check them out if a Floridian thinks a mountain aquarium is worth the visit. Haha
