Ripley's Penguin Playhouse
Unique Experience
Bringing the penguins with a replica of their natural environment to the Great Smoky Mountains you can watch them swimming, splashing, playing, climbing, and yes doing their famous penguin waddle up close and personal. Even better than watching them you can schedule interactive time so you can feel their feathers as you touch them and see how playful they can be. Located on the end of the Ripley's aquarium the Penguin Playhouse will delight both kids and adults while you have a chance to learn more about the amazing creatures. The penguins enjoy showing off their artistic talents creating original paintings that you can have a chance to purchase.
