Thanks to Rochelle for the heads up on a great deal for local readers.
Ripley’s Aquarium is offering 1/2 price Admission to Blount & Loudon County residents now thru this Thursday 6/24/10.
I called guest services to get all the details and this is what they said.
1. You have to live or work in Blount or Loundon county.
2. Each person needs one canned food items
3. You need to bring proof you live or work in those counties (paycheck or utility bill) and a photo ID.
4.One ID can get up to 6 people in for half price.
That would make admission for ages 12 and up $10.99, for 6-11 years old $5.50 and 2-5 would only be $2.50.
Guest Services told me they are doing different promotions for different counties throughout the summer. I asked about Knox county, she said she was not sure of dates but to keep an eye out- and I will!

When I called to confirm they told me Sevier and Blount so be careful….
Maybe we should both call again!
I called again, you are right, thanks so much for telling me! I hope no one from sevier co goes…grrr.
