Visit the Aquarium to Learn about the Sea Creatures of the Carolinas

Come learn about the aquatic habitats near Charleston homes at the South Carolina Aquarium. Visitors of all ages will find something to enjoy at this beautiful Charleston real estate location. The exhibits are organized by habitat. See river otters at the mountain forest area, then hop over to the piedmont habitat to meet bass, crappies, and suckers. From the coastal plain, you’ll see American alligators or a Venus flytrap in a swamp at twilight. Don’t miss the coast and ocean exhibits, where you can see a 220-pound loggerhead sea turtle named Carretta.

Children and Adults from Charleston Homes Enjoy Hands-on Exhibits

Many of the exhibits allow visitors to interact with the animals. At the saltmarsh aviary, feed the stingrays for just $3 for a cup of shrimp. Kids and adults from Charleston homes will enjoy the touch tank, which holds hermit crabs, sea urchins, horseshoe crabs, and Atlantic stingrays. Learn about the work of the aquarium vet in the animal care exhibit. Find out how to diagnose diseases and make a treatment plan. Be sure to take a tour of the sea turtle hospital, offered at noon and 2 p.m. everyday.

This is just a small sample of the many creatures and plants on display at the aquarium. There are also fun events for kids and adults. Visit the South Carolina Aquarium seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Adult admission is $24.95, and child admission is $17.95. Consider supporting the aquarium with a membership and get free admission for a year.
