Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach

The family had a great experience! Lots of interactive and hands on experiences even without paying for the extras. There is a play area for when everyone needs a break, a snack area and vending machines for a pick me up. So many cool animals to see close

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.
