we really enjoyed our visit to the aquarium. it is not very a big one but the staff is very friendly. children loved sea turtle rescue and have been impressed by the shark. Beautiful gift shop!

This aquarium may not be as big as some others, but it's exhibits are by far some of the best. From the tropical beginning where you can see the otters swimming around in their habitat, to the middle where you can enjoy the touch tanks with the sting rays, to the fabulous and interesting gift shop at the end, the...

Great place to stop and stretch your legs for an hour or two. Many nice exhibits with hands on things for little ones to do. Not the largest aquarium in North Carolina but still a nice one to visit.

We had a blast at the aquarium. Nice and quiet and the kids loved it. Especially the sharks. We also got a great picture of us 4.

Great place to take the family. you can aslo rent it out for private events such as weddings. Amazing staff

Fun for the whole family. You're not going to the National Aquarium or anything, but it's got its fair share of exhibits and lots of activities for kids. Would highly recommend for a daytime excursion.

We stop by here every year when we go down to the OBX, there is a room with a huge tank with sharks and big fish which is very cool. The sea turtle rehab activity is fun, my favorite part is the sting ray petting tank, watch out they will splash for your attention! Something new was being built last... More
