Ripley’s attractions offer free admission for teacher appreciation days; also Ripley’s Aquarium homeschool pricing & programs
August 31, 2011
September 24 – 25 are Teacher Appreciation Days at Ripley’s attractions in Gatlinburg, and all teachers (plus one guest) receive free admission! Here’s more info on Teacher Appreciation Days. My mother-in-law is a teacher, and I think we’re going to take a trip to the Ripley’s Aquarium during this event!
Also, did you know that all Gatlinburg Ripley’s Attractions offer a homeschool rate? To receive the homeschool rate you must present a homeschool group membership card or an attendance record for each student. Here in Blount County one that would qualify is the Blount Home Education Association.
The Ripley’s homeschool rate is valid for the homeschool student(s) and accompanying parent(s). In addition to the homeschool rate, Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies offers a monthly program designed for homeschoolers.
