There’s a lot of fish in the sea, and you can see a few of them at the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston. There are nearly 5,000 animals to encounter, making it the perfect way to spend a day (or more) during spring break.

Here are a few things you can do during your visit to the aquarium:

  • Take a peek into the Sea Turtle Care Center™ to see current patients and learn incredible stories of rescue, rehabilitation, and release.
  • See animals up close and gently touch critters like snakes and alligators during daily animal encounters.
  • Join the educators for fun programs all about the animals that call the aquarium home.
  • And so much more.*
