Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies Penguin Exhibit

This 2,730 +/- SF Penguin Exhibit is a state-of-the-art facility located within the existing building envelope of the Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. The “warm water penguin” exhibit will contain multiple viewing experiences, water jet streams, multiple crawl-through tunnels and pop-up bubbles, wave tank, caves, ledges, bridges and an isolation lab nursery. Although the exhibit is a renovation built within the existing aquarium envelope, it also provides the opportunity for guests to experience the birds around an outdoor pool, which is an extension of the indoor waterway.
