What) Believe it or not there are 8 different Ripley's owned attractions located in Gatlinburg. In addition to the usual 500 exhibit Odditorium, there is also an Aquarium, Mirror Maze, two Mini-golf courses, a haunted adventure, a moving theater and a Guinness World Records Museum.
Ripley’s
Aquarium of the Smokies is literally teaming with life - our
10,000 exotic sea creatures comprise more than 350 individual
species. There are more fish in this aquarium than there are
people living in the entire town of Gatlinburg. Experience the
Amazing Aquatic World Up-Close and marvel at 12-foot sharks,
the giant sea turtle, thousands of exotic sea creatures and
playful penguins swimming as you enjoy the State-of-the-Art
Clear Underwater Tunnels throughout! Our newest $5 million
expansion is called the Penguin Playhouse. (1)

Why) I have
a thing for Ripleys attractions
and Gatlinburg appears to be the capital of the Ripley's
universe. There was a time when I would have made a
point of seeing most of these attractions but I must be
mellowing a bit because we actually ended up paying to enter
none of these places. Despite that, I did end up with a
few related souvenirs. 
Whatever happens with that intention, I will show you all the painting penguin pictures that I can find.
