This is a great small aquarium worth a visit! The animal husbandry was great and the employees were welcoming. It took us about 10 minutes to enjoy the whole thing.

Very small but free aquarium that's worth a visit. In and out in ten minutes with plenty of parking. The tanks are kept very clean and the fish appear to be healthy. Enjoy!

Fun little aquarium for a cloudy, dreary day! Rita, at the front door, was engaging & knowledgeable. Learned a lot about these fresh water fish! This is a clean, educational facility. Rita told us...

This little aquarium is neat. The worker we talked with was extremely nice and knowledgeable. It's a good little stop during your trip to Bryson City.
