We have been to the aquarium twice. The first time was in early Nov. My husband and I went while we spent a weekend in Myrtle Beach for our anniversary. We got discount tickets at our hotel. We spent several hours there. We had blast and spent a lot of time getting some great photos even in the tunnel! I... more

Most Ripley's Attractions are just money making scams- never really worth the money you spend to get in. This one however is awesome! My family visited during vacation and spent hours in there, the shark tunnel alone was worth it!!!! more

On a rainy day in Myrtle beach you can find everyone at Ripley's Aquarium. It will be jam packed with strollers and slow moving senoirs all in a rather small facility. Adult admission (12 and over) is $18.99 - way too much for what you get. Complete money grab -- They appear to be emulating the Orlando theme parks ,... more

It is bound to rain at least one day on your beach vacation, so make sure you save a rainy day for Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach. It is full of fun and eduational exhibits. Our favorite is the moving walkway which runs through a glass tunnel. It is awe-inspiring to watch the sharks and stingrays float above your head.... more

We visited here with some free tickets. We were pleased with the aquarium. The displays were interesting and educational. The walk through tank was especially neat. We enjoyed it very much. We would say that if we had paid full price, it may not have seemed like a really good value. This would especially be good for families with children... more

The Ripleys Aquarium in MB is definitely worth stopping at, even if you've been to other aquariums before. Inside is clean and the staff is knowledgeable. Tickets are reasonable, look for discounts through the hotel you're staying at. Don't miss the Sting Ray petting, it is amazing to touch these creatures!! All in all, a GREAT place to go!! more

Kind of expensive but a place you need to go at least once. Grandson had been looking forward to going for a year (went year before and loved it - is 4 years old). You have to exit through the gift shop so be prepared. Does have some reasonably priced items. more
