The NC Aquarium-Pine Knoll Shores is an amazing place, where visitors go on a journey “from the mountains to the sea.” You will see 50 exhibits and more than 4,000 aquatic animals of all sorts, such as sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, and so much more. There are daily programs for children and adults, including live animal encounters where visitors can touch a sea turtle, stingray, or horseshow crab as well as other critters. Watch divers swimming among the sharks and other dangerous marine animals. You can also take part in feeding various animals and watch native shorebirds and raptors showing off their cool tricks.
