Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Ripley's claims that this is "the most visited attraction in South Carolina," and for good reason. Visitors are surrounded by a 750,000-gallon tank where 10-foot sharks and other sealife mingle. This $40 million, state-of-the-art facility features a freshwater Rio Amazon exhibit showcasing piranha and other Amazonian exotics. Another popular exhibit, Rainbow Rock, offers a stunning view of thousands of brilliantly colored fish from Hawaii, Australia, and the Indian Ocean through an acrylic window the size of two movie screens.
Extras: Educational Presentations.
Open 9 am to 8 pm. $$$ (Expensive)
