Ripley’s Aquarium Penguin Encounter
do you have a construction project we can help with?
Gatlinburg, TN
Citadel Construction was proud to partner once again with Ripley’s Entertainment for the renovation of the popular Penguin Encounter exhibit at Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg, TN.
This interactive exhibit offers guests a truly unique experience—allowing anyone over the age of 4 the rare opportunity for one-on-one interaction with African penguins. Our team worked to enhance the exhibit space with improved guest flow, updated finishes, and functional upgrades to support both animal care and visitor engagement.
Having completed several projects for Ripley’s Entertainment, we understand the importance of delivering high-quality work in high-traffic, guest-centered environments. We’re proud to support their mission of creating immersive, unforgettable experiences for visitors of all ages.
