When you need to find the perfect attraction for children of all ages you need look no further than the South Carolina Aquarium. The aquarium offers your children the chance to get up close and personal with up to 5,000 creatures including birds, alligators, otters, fish, turtles, sharks and many, many more. You could easily spend an entire day enjoying the varied programs which include All about Otters, Turtle Talk and All about Alligators. Children can touch and feel various sea creatures in the Touch Tank and hand-feed stingrays in The Shallows. Strollers are welcome (and can be hired on site) and there are changing stations and feeding rooms for younger visitors.
