We stayed at Barrier Island Station
As with all aquariums, this is a family friendly location. Please note: reservations are required at this time.
We have been visiting this aquarium since Stewie was little. It's fun taking flashback photos of things that we love about this place. It is well kept, clean, and informative. Exhibits allow you to get up close and personal, and if you are lucky, the animals will even interact with you through their enclosures, especially the river otters! We always seem to visit during off season times, but during the summer months they offer a variety of tours that you can sign up for like paddle boarding, crabbing, "What's the catch" where you can learn to fish, and a variety of inside tours as well.

The aquarium is active in conservation and rehabilitation. It includes about 7 large tanks where injured sea turtles can come for treatment and rehabilitation. There were Loggerheads and one Green turtle (I think!) when we visited.



There's even a wind tunnel you can try out! What's it like to be in a hurricane?
