What travellers are saying
- WrldTraveler1789Austin, TX100 contributionsWe loved going to Fort Fisher. The beaches were never crowded and it was always fun to stroll along the beach looking for washed up treasures. It was always cool to see all the pelicans fly over that stretch of beach as the sun was setting. I guess they turn in for the night somewhere close to there. Its free to enter the park and always enough parking available.Written February 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ryan LBrimfield, MA242 contributionsThe North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher offers a delightful experience, earning a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
The facility maintains a clean environment, and the staff is exceptionally friendly, adding to the overall positive atmosphere. While some exhibits lack comprehensive signage, the captivating dive show compensates by providing engaging insight into marine life.
With or without children, expect to spend around an hour and a half exploring the diverse exhibits. The outdoor boardwalk area provides an additional opportunity for leisurely exploration, enhancing the overall visit.
They have some pretty awesome exhibits that include alligators, Asian small-clawed otters, sharks and sea turtles.
Overall, this is a great option if visiting the Wilmington area and offers a great family oriented time.Written March 14, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My parents and I decided to visit the beach and while we were there, we stopped at the Fort. There was a lot of construction going on (they are building a new museum facility), so parking was less convenient than I would have preferred. Still, the facility, the displays, and the tour were VERY informative and added to my knowledge in a meaningful manner. AND, my parents actually had a very good time walking around the site with me.Written July 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WrldTraveler1789Austin, TX100 contributionsBesides walking across and looking over the sides, there is not much to do on the pier. But the beach below is nice. I am sure it gets crowded in the summer, but the winter time was so nice because there were hardly any people. The weather was still nice enough to take long walks on the beach. Everything was clean and people are friendly. Sunsets are really nice here.Written February 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Irelynn D35 contributionsLove this park! So quiet, clean, and calm. Lovely swing benches that overlook the beach. Often have concerts or craft shows.Written August 8, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Seth M6 contributionsReally amazing experience. The water was in between high and low tide, so not the best time to experience this geological rock formation, but it was still amazing. To my knowledge this is the only naturally occurring rock outcrop along the entire North Carolina coast lines. Very unique place!Written August 4, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Buddy The Cat S2 contributionsWe have had a house in this area for years, but had never been to this gem of a museum until this past weekend. The volunteer staff is enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We had Bobby as our guide and he was delightful. I would recommend this to anyone whether you served in the military or not. You will not be disappointed!Written October 10, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- awilliams811Catonsville, MD82 contributionsSkeeball, basketball, throwing games, bean bag games... tickets. Its everything youd want in an arcade. Its tight inside and was incredibly warm when we were in there. Store owner might wanna be alittle proactive with adjusting thermostat.Written April 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Darlene1 contributionLaid back atmosphere and local vibe. The 5-foot Jenga makes for a lot of laughs. You just can't feel out of place at Bud & Joe's... and we can't travel down that way without hitting up this small beach community hang out!Written March 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
