North Carolina Aquarium

Discover What the Sea Holds

A trip to the NC Aquarium means a journey into another world—this is truly a fish-eyed view of the land beneath the waves. It’s a place to experience fascinating creatures with only a window separating you from their vivid domiciles; this is the place to touch starfish, watch divers swim with sharks, and find the “smiley face” on the underside of a ray. Watch jellyfish dance with their dangling tentacles, learn all about the tiny seahorse, and turn a horseshoe crab upside down with your hands. The Aquarium even offers special programs throughout the summer, like surf fishing, camps and outdoor adventures. This is an outing for the whole family, with activities that promise to engage no matter what your age.
