Reviews
"My kids loved exploring this place. The aquarium has a ton of interactive exhibits for the kids to enjoy. In one of the rooms it features an illuminated life size giant squid and jellyfish (see video). Here’s a little known admissions tip if your budget is tight. Your local library has passes for the aquarium & children’s museums of the Lowcountry (if you’re a local resident). The pass admits 2 adults and 8 children."
"Great place to learn about the local marine life. The aquarium has exhibits ranging from the mountains to the open sea filled with a variety of animals. It's a good place to hang around for a couple of hours and has good views of the Charleston harbor. The only downside is its smaller size when compared to other aquariums. However, it has good prices to make up for it. I would highly recommend seeing everything once."
"We had a wonderful experience at the SC Aquarium. So much information about conservation. Dennis made our time there even more memorable with a surprise behind the scenes feeding tour. We could definitely spend more time there during another visit to Charleston."
"The aquarium was quite small, a little overpriced ($36). The fish tanks look clean and they looked like they are well taken care of. The staff was very nice as well. The coolest was the sea turtle exhibit/rehabilitation center inside. You can see the turtles they are caring for, you can read up on their history, and their recovery process. It quite a unique part of this aquarium that I haven’t seen in others. I also felt like you have a tiny bit more options to be close to certain animals which was different (emphasis on tiny bit though). Overall, it was a cute aquarium."
"I spent basically my whole time with all the sea turtles especially Coretta I had tears of joy watching this beautiful sea turtle swim around...there is also a sea turtle hospital that was great to see..we saw some scuba divers in the tank checking out the tank ...by the looks of the aquarium they take very good care of all the animals big and small. I highly recommend this aquarium especially if you like sea turtles, I am not sure of the cost this was a birthday surprise"
