When you think of aquarium, don't think of the big one in Baltimore. This is a little homey one for mainly the little children. The best part for the teenagers were the sea turtle rescue center otherwise, they were not entertained much. Also the photo...More

This is a great place to see and learn about creatures that live in water. The STAR section for turtle rehabilitation is wonderful.

The NC Aquarium is a very high quality attraction. Video displays and touch screens are everywhere but we all agreed it felt very seamless with the "real" exhibits and didn't feel like a virtual kind of experience. The different areas have themes like sunken pirate...More
