Ever wonder who our wildest neighbors are? Hint: They don’t live in houses.

This summer, come say “hi” to them at the South Carolina Aquarium. Located right on the scenic Charleston Harbor, the Aquarium invites you to explore South Carolina’s habitats — from mountain forests all the way to the coast.

🐬 Hands-on fun

Feed friendly cownose rays, feel the texture of a sea star, and maybe even spot wild dolphins splashing in the harbor. Feeling adventurous? Take a virtual reality dive underwater or get an up-close look at sea turtle rehabilitation happening live.

☀️ Summer events

Enjoy fun events like kids’ dance classes, a sustainable seafood dinner with wine pairings, yoga beneath the Great Ocean Tank’s glow, and more.

🐢 Conservation in action

Bonus: Every ticket helps fund the Aquarium’s work in animal care, education, and conservation — supporting the animals + habitats that make our state special.
