Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach

We had a great time. I can say this is a very nice aquarium. We loved walking under the sharks through the tunnels and seeing all kinds of sea fishes. Highly recommend it for family. They even have a play station for kids.

Woah! The aquarium sounds like alotl fun! But what are you doing all the way down here with the axolotls – some of the most secretive salamanders in the world?!

Did you know the spotted salamander is the state amphibian of South Carolina? It earned the title in 1999 thanks to a campaign led by a class of Spartanburg third graders.
