South Carolina Aquarium

South Carolina Aquarium

Charleston's most visited attraction features thousands of amazing aquatic animals from river otters and sharks to loggerhead turtles in over 60 exhibits, representing the rich biodiversity of South Carolina from the mountains to the sea. The aquarium also presents fabulous views of Charleston Harbor, interactive exhibits and programs for all ages, and is dedicated to promoting education and conservation. Special programs include a look behind-the-scenes at the Great Ocean Tank with over 450 creatures representing over 40 species from the oceans of South Carolina, and behind-the-scenes tours of the sea turtle hospital - a firsthand look at the efforts of the aquarium's team of trained professionals as they care for sick and injured sea turtles.
