Trip to Ripley's Aquarium

[swlover]

Here are some pics I took while at the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg. My daughter's 6th grade field trip...it was pretty neat..99% of the corals, rock, sponges, plants, etc are fake. They only have one tank that have live coral and plants.

Wow. That is a nice aquarium! I went to the one at Mandalay Bay in Vegas and that was a total letdown.
How far is it from Knoxville? (I go there for business sometimes).

looks pretty cool.... it sure beats the national aquarium in D.C. what a total let down that was

dont you all wish you could live there, and have an entire group of workers that would maintain everything, and they all would work for free, and michael jackson would be black again and he would shine the tanks...or is that just my dream
