Pints & Penguins

Pints & Penguins is an adult-only sleepover event full of animal experiences, delicious bites, a full bar, and more!

Start your night off with appetizers and drinks, followed by a behind-the-scenes tour of the Aquarium. Sleep alongside the Aquarium’s African penguin colony in the Penguin Playhouse and wake up to a hot breakfast and penguin encounter.

Inspired by Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies’ sold-out Sips & Sharks events, Pints & Penguins is an even more intimate program, with limited capacity. Booking in advance is highly recommended.

Your ticket includes appetizers, two (2) complimentary drink tickets (cash bar also available), behind-the-scenes tour, a penguin encounter, and hot breakfast. Please arrive and check in at Guest Services at least 10 minutes prior to start time. Sleepovers begin at 7:30 p.m., and end at 8:30 a.m. the next morning.
