Charleston, SC Attractions
South Carolina Aquarium
Do you love the water and learning about the animal life it supports? Then
the SC Aquarium is the perfect place for you to spend
a day. Here you can see the fresh water fish and land animals
like otters, turtles, snakes, and birds as well as sea animals
like the shark. The 330,000 gallon Great Ocean Tank has
large viewing windows which allow you to get "face to face"
with the creatures of the sea. There is a Touch Tanks with
horse shoe crabs, orange sea stars, purple sea urchin and
Hermit crab anemones. Or, you can visit the Secrets of the
Amazon exhibit where you will find unique animals like the 4 eyed
