Great main ocean tank. That was the big hit. As were the dolphins we saw in the harbor behind the aquarium. The 4d show was not worth it. It ... more on TripAdvisor

Because we're from Vancouver, it's hard not to compare this aquarium with the one at home. This one is small and naturally focuses on the salt marshes of the area and the Atlantic Ocean. It's very int ... more on TripAdvisor

Two years ago, I initailly visited with my family--we're from Beaufort, SC--two adults and three bored, synical teens. It was cheaper to buy an annual membership than to pay for the day. We ALL loved our first visit. We bought ... more on Yahoo! Travel

In response to the barely positive review by Toronto, CA- Torontonians should like overpriced -it's a natural environment for y'all. I think the fine folks at the SC Aquarium have a great handle on local denizens of the deep. ... more on Yahoo! Travel

When I go on trips, I usually like to take my daughter to the Aquarium. I heard that this one was pretty good - so we decided to give it a try. We both were rather disappointed. I think for the prices that they charge, they would ... more on Yahoo! Travel
