Distance learning can be difficult for children who want to run around with their friends outside. Luckily, attending school from home allows families to still go on their vacation getaways as long as they have access to Wi-Fi. You can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi access in our Gatlinburg vacation rentals, and you will also be close to many educational attractions in the area. Take a look at how you can enjoy these educational activities on your journey to Gatlinburg after online learning is done:

 

Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies

There is nothing better for ocean lovers than visiting your local aquarium. Gatlinburg is home to the ever-popular Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies. This vast aquarium features incredible aquatic animals including sharks, sting rays, sea turtles, penguins, and so much more. The aquarium even features a boat ride that has a glass bottom so you can see all of them swimming below. Educational activities including feeding times and live shows where you and your family can learn even more about these incredible creatures. Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies is open every day of the week from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM and can be found at 88 River Rd.

Show your children incredible automobiles such as the General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard or the Batmobile from the 1966 Batman television show.
