Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach

Loved it, lots of large sharks and sawfish. Also Loved seeing all the reef fish and the rays. Loved that we got a local discount.

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.
