Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach

We have been here many times before. We were surprised to see that they have made many nice renovations that are very kid friendly. Will be back often as we bought season passes.

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.
