You're made for exploring museums and theme parks, god knows how much i wish i could travel the country..

[@thePassionatePK]

I have been laying in bed sick all week. Your videos are very entertaining & I have gotten to see these fun places. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@conniecrawford5231]

Sea dragons are amazing! Seahorses are difficult to keep in home aquariums because the current has to be perfect for them. Monterey Bay in CA bus also a great public aquarium with a kelp forest and lots of wild sea otters in the Bay!

[@melissawinstead8701]

The best aquarium I've seen! Have a great day Jacob!

[@deniseconaway701]

What a place, so good, Jacob you are too funny 😀 every time i watch your vlogs i leave with a smile, Thankyou x

[@raphaelbranson5832]

Instablaster.

[@conniecrawford5231]

The Monterey Bay Aquarium in California is spectacular but this is a great one, too! Also,New Orleans ,Baltimore and Greensboro have wonderful aquariums.

[@d.christophertatum2936]

I was just in town yesterday, showing that I have a tendency of missing you by days if not minutes sometimes.

[@gildedliberty6090]

Hey, headed there tomorrow. Good Day to you.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Jacob, such a cool place, it looked very well laid out and the inhabitants looked happy. I half expected you to walk outta there wearing a shark onesie lol. Thanks for sharing. x

[@feliciascraftyadventures4734]

You need to visit during the summer for the mermaid shows. I actually have a cousin who will be one of the mermaids this year!!

[@thestudio66]

Mermaid shows and tunnel-tanks, our country has no such thing and I can only dream to experience that sort of stuff, one-day.

[@RhettyforHistory]

That is a cool aquarium! It's really relaxing.

[@HerbieHerbHerb]

Excellent! Thank you Jacob for all your hard work.

[@KathyRoth5]

Love it when he says "like a doll's eyes..." Hey cre80s...we need a Carpetbagger shirt with Carpetbagger saying "like a doll's eyes..." with a blank stare.

[@funnycreep]

wow thats one of the best aquariums ive seen

[@rachaelk7866]

pretty cool place :D like how they had interactive things too and feeding the stingrays

[@selinalight9063]

I love Ripley’s Aquarium...can’t wait to go visit next month! Keep up the great work!!

[@meganpeveich8407]

Great video! Wow you really got an excellent view of the octopus. Just stunning.

[@shedragon61]

2:45 The "Flamboyant Cuttlefish," on of my very favorite cephalopods. Gorgeous! Oh, and you where so lucky to see that octopus active. I knew we had something in common Jacob!

[@Cre80s]

It is an amazing spot, and I can't at all figure out how some of that sea life was transported there to those flippin' mountains without changing to being dead. Amazing.

[@ryanbridges3166]

The fish at 5:07 is a sculpin scorpion. I have one in my saltwater tank. Mine is orange and white and it can eat fish its same size. It blends in with the rock and coral quite well. Cool fish, but venomous. I usually will feed mine live fish and live shrimp. The fish next to the flounder is a walking bat fish. I had one for several years. Really hard to come by in the aquarium trade.

[@imthebossofme63]

That really is an amazing aquarium! Loved the Jaws reference.

[@medicatedmenorah]

My mom and I have been to a few aquariums and this has been the most impressive one we’ve seen so far.

[@kohlguy8656]

Thanx for those wonderful pics . By the way, I like your Banjo-Intro very much ! Greetings !

[@skyjay8207]

yea i have been here so many times as a child, brings back so many memories

[@clarinetgaming1708]

I love that they have modern major general playing in the background

[@littleprincealpha]

I love this Ripley's in Gatlingburg, TN. This place is my favorite spot when traveling to Gatlingburg.

[@kyerafedoruk7777]

Yayayaya I get so excited when I get a notification from you!!!

[@TheBeteljuice]

I appreciate your wonder, Mr. Carpetbagger guy. I would LOVE to go on a roadtrip with you! Thanks for all the GREAT videos!

[@natthecatcm2418]

Very Nice Video 💓

[@kathleenhorner9296]

Love acquariums! Thanks, Jacob!

[@agerven]

I love aquariums, and this one is really beautiful. Thanks for taking us along!

[@DarkSt0rm009]

8:16 I think Captain Kidd was also a shockingly good Phantom Thief if I do say so myself

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Jake you could have your own line of candy, 'Jake Jellies' could be made to look like the Jelly Fish picture you made. 😁 Had lots of fun. Thank you!!😗

[@MegaAmazing90]

“Roll him... like your cooking him over a fire 🔥🦈”crack me up!!!!!

[@rosemary-bn2di]

Great video , enjoyed it 👍

[@mrburn4294]

Love the new videos carpetbagger

[@andresschiffino1262]

I believe in the Weather the Storm simulation, you were supposed to face the screen to feel the full effect. While you had your back turned to the screen, there was a moving image of violent waves. I've been in similar attractions and usually, it creates a mild sensation of movement.

[@djqueen9739]

10:30 YES YELLOW SUB YES RINGO, I got super happy when I heard that

[@mcwatersd]

Really beautiful aquarium. Love how you crawl into the childrens areas. Id be afraid of getting stuck. Lol It must feel good to be back on familiar turf. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

[@Ashley-kd2su]

Carpetbaggia...I like it!! That's an awesome sandbox!

[@darkhorse8413]

The Shreveport Aquarium is way more interactive than what you are showing here. You can hand feed those rays at SA. Plus touch jellies, cleaner shrimp, and other animals.

[@missdaisy5736]

The sea life was amazing and I could not believe how cool those swordfish looked really loved it thank you so much

[@StudioUAC]

I haven't been here in 18 years. I need to go back to see how much it has changed!

[@irishgrammy]

Thanks for doing these videos!!!

[@gillianharrison-gates7181]

Nice jaws quote. Favorite movie ❤️. We have a Ridleys aquarium in Toronto and we love going. It’s very tranquil. They have sleep overs where u go after hours and stay over night.

[@davesmith8925]

Love the aquarium! Will be visiting the first week June. Already got my tickets. Wish you’d have a meet up that week.

[@limbrat5448]

That exhibit is Awesome possum!Thanks for sharing.

[@andreaallen6255]

This one is better then Toronto’s Thanks for sharing

[@melissah287]

I love Ripley's aquarium! You crack me up climbing in the penguin tunnel.

[@jcg336]

Great video. I love that you have so much fun at these types of places.

[@dawnbenchley7237]

Great video, Jacob! Would love to visit.

[@thistruthisfree4079]

LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you!

[@codysingleton6262]

Visited there in when I was...oh jeez, I think 14 years old. Had a cabin up in the mountains, got ro watch vats flying through the trees at night. Good location.

[@unclemetal8774]

Nice jaws reference. Great video!

[@englishatheart]

He's made that reference many times in his videos.

[@KimDill41]

Enjoyed the video ! Great job.😊

[@shaneyboyadventures7367]

The Henry Doorly Zoo lets you feed the stingrays by hand. Weirdest feeling ever. The zoo also has an AMAZING aquarium. I have a video on my channel.

[@brianbrewer2909]

I was there just a couple months ago. You're right the aquarium there is awesome. I made videos there also.

[@PinkPrincess8700]

Thank you for crawling though the little tunnel for us so that we can get the full experience of the penguins. Thats real dedication 🤣

[@michellegrooms4965]

For that im greatful

[@estherl2407]

Some interesting fish there, thanks for this vlog Jacob.

[@johnbeard6521]

Gone there many times it's always great. Fantastic video!

[@ashleyphillips131]

Omg this is my FAVORITE place in all of Gatlinburg... I HAVE to visit every single time I'm there 😍😂

[@jacquelinewaugh9451]

It so beautiful

[@clarashoe9504]

Cuttlefish. Cuttle bones for birds come from there,I believe.

[@maryc5353]

You got two catchphrases in one shot with that snowglobe. Too bad you didn't do a hiss at the end for a trifecta .

[@SuV33358]

Jellyfish are so beautiful and graceful

[@korebiis]

black cats are also considered good luck in either scotland or ireland (cant remember which one) black cats are innocent babies!!!

[@NOLADEEJ]

The only other aquarium I’ve been to other than the amazing Audubon Aquarium in New Orleans is the one in Chattanooga. This one looks amazing!!!

[@wildcatcountry-bigbluenation]

Great video!!!

[@moviefan8199]

This and Atlanta have the best Aquarium's. I love Gattlinburg so much go there every summer. Don't know if we can go there this year sadly my dad lost his job today he worked at for years so please be in prayer for my family. It is a messed up situation

[@englishatheart]

Aquariums*

[@moviefan8199]

EnglishatHeart You really felt the need to correct me with one mistake? Wow.

[@brianbrewer2909]

Hope everything turned out well for your dad. I see you posted this comment a couple years ago so the job market sure has changed since then. If he hasn't found a good job soon after he lost that one surely he can now. Employers can't seem to find enough employees now.

[@jimmy0869]

Hey Carpetbagger. Saw you in passing at Paula Deen's Wednesday night. At least I was pretty sure it was you or I would have said hi but my wife didn't think it was you so I didn't. Anyway as a local it was my first time actually eating there. Great food. love your videos and your reviews. Keep up the good work!

[@ghostviddebunker]

So who ready to move to Carpetbaggia? Filled with fun adventures and ripley's EVERYWHERE!

[@cannett8966]

By irish folk lore, Black cats are the luckiest. You just have to shake the bad luck out of the tail everyday. Best to shake it on land of some one you do not like or just out the front door. C from the little haunted cottage in Ireland 🍀🍀🍀👻👻👻

[@Cre80s]

Mail me a mason jar full of black cat drippings.

[@cannett8966]

Sure thing, but it will take me a little time as I don't have a cat anymore. Yeah, good old cat dripping. Love it for breakfast. C🍀🍀🍀

[@lynkinruder8295]

Black cats are some of the cutest too!

[@AmberTheRambler]

Great video! I can't wait to take the kiddo this summer.

[@Chris-ru3ri]

I’ll be back there next year

[@marydugan3399]

Would love to go there

[@emilyt3377]

I love this location and the Myrtle beach one ( which now has 2 sloths)

[@joe_chill1060]

The Sountrack there is lit!

[@j.d.andsarahflack4621]

[@tennesseefanatic8023]

We were just there this last Saturday! We arrived in sevierville, TN Friday morning (4/26). Would have been cool to meet you! We did Anakeesta as well and that ride up and down was very scary especially when you stop. I didn't know we can feed the sting rays?!? What! We just touched them

[@bigrudd8746]

Yay, I saw myself in the tank, the flounder. Quit steppin on me!

[@williambailey6352]
