The backstage tour is very informative and interesting, and it's free with admission if you ask! Be prepared to schedule a time for one because they only have so many spots

Pretty good aquarium overall! A little pricey , expect 80$ in admission for two adults and a child if you watch the 4D movie too. The albino Alligator, Bald Eagle and special rescue were the best!

A grand time for the whole family. Experience the low countries aquatic life and “pet ” fish w/ expert supervision. The whole exhibit is a feast for the eyes and educational . Enjoy a perfect day!

Pricey admission but nice facilities that got you really close to all the animals. Don't forget the bay is also part of the experience, take it in and look for the Dolphins!

Very nice place. 30 per person for about an hour stay. There are a lot of fish , otters , an eagle but not as much as I thought for the price.

Solid aquarium , pretty big, fun exhibits . Good way to pass the time especially during an afternoon rainstorm.

We have a membership and live nearby and it is so great. My little brother loves it here. We come alot. I recommend a membership if u live nearby

Great for kids, but very expensive . $40 a piece for adults. Buy tickets online days in advanced to save a couple bucks

I love this place!!! I love the lay out. I love Wine on the Water and View with a Brew. If you have not done this yet, GET TICKETS!! You won't be disappointed!

Various hotels in the area and even on base sometimes offer special rates. However, there are unadvertised discounts for military , AAA members, and seniors if you just ask at the ticket window.

Ask the starfish, sting ray lady questions @ pet-tank, your kids & U will be amazed! Albino alligator is for real! Spent 14 mins staring at it w/ our 6yr old!

My kids sure loved it. Had all of the typical aquarium type stuff. And lemurs. They had lemurs too.

Great aquarium with a lot to see.

Really great escape from the rest of the city . 4D show was fun. Liberty was terrifying!

If coming on a weekday, show up at 9 AM before the bus loads of kids arrive for a peaceful 90 min.

Expensive, and while the Aquarium tries to convince you the animals would not have survived in the wild, their enclosures were cruel (for the grouper , albino alligator and bald eagle in particular).

An education yet fun way to spend an afternoon...with the fish and lemurs!

Cool space. Very neat for people with small children. Take the behind the scenes turtle tour !

I think it's worth a few extra bucks to see the turtle hospital in the basement...but also don't miss the albino alligator ! Read more

Great for kids, friendly staff , terrific animal selection.

Small but fun... Shark shallows is especially cool.

Two words: River . Otters .See them. Also, check out the ginormous sea turtle swimming in the large fish tank. It mugs for the camera sometimes.

Memories were made, which made this place ultimately a lot better than it would have been without my girlfriend. :)

It's only worth it if you're local (with kids) & can get a year round pass. Tickets are WAY OVER PRICED!

A bit small but very interactive. Definitely centered around children.

The animals are really special here ! Help our planet!

Great little actuation that you can see in one visit.

Love the all of the tanks and exhibits !

Watch the staff feed the otters Monday thru Saturday 10:00 am. Also check out their new albino alligator named Alabaster

Family membership is the best deal in town - pays for itself in less than two visits!

Relatively small aquarium but could be good to spend 1-2hrs during a hot summer day.

It's Sea and Save Month at the Aquarium ! Throughout the Month of February, all SC adults get in for the kid's price! Bring your ID!

There aren't any penguins any more, but the otters are super cute ! Make sure to feed the stingrays !

Great aquarium for kids and adults

Totally worth the membership if you are local and have young kids!

Yearly membership is way worth it if you have kids.

Got to see the sea turtles !

Everything was cool to look at.

Best aquarium ever!

If you aren't ready to go home yet check out the Charleston Maritime Center, it has the best view of the harbor !

Ask the management to remove the bald eagle from all after hour events !! It's too noisy for him!!

Take a tour of the Seaturtle Hospital at the aquarium.It's well worth the $10, plus you help support a great cause!

AAA Discount ! Or there is a $1 off general admission coupon on their website

Two touch tanks!

The penguins are no longer there. Watch out for the turkey and enjoy the lazy otters ! (via Scoville) Read more
