North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores

It is a nice smallish aquarium with some great displays. The sea otters are fun to watch and the variety of displays can entertain kids for a couple hours and likewise for adults interested in the sea

Exhibits show NC aquatic life from mountains to sea. Don’t miss the eagles just outside and the salt marsh trail . Wonderful recreation of the U352 wreck complete with sand tiger sharks .

Wonderful way to spend a day. Well worth the admission price. Wonderful small group tours , but reserve early on website they fill up fast! We did the otter tour last summer!

Amazing and beautiful aquarium ! Love visiting everything and just about an hour's worth of looking! You can pet stingrays and there is even a Dairy Queen stand outside!

The otters and sharks were our kids' favorites and the FREE admission with our Zoo membership was mine!! Great aquarium ...definitely worth seeing!

The otters enjoy putting on a playful show to delight visitors of all ages. Be sure to also stop and see the sea turtles , including Nimbus, a unique little loggerhead named for his golden coloring.

A great park outside for the kids. Doesn’t look like much, but it’s great!

Look into the membership - its good not only for the aquarium , but for lots of zoos around the country . If you visit more than one zoo/aquarium a year, it might be worth it.

Great aquarium , the shipwreck tank was nice. The otters (when not sleeping) and loggerhead turtles were the highlights. $8 for an adult is not expensive and a good deal compare to others. Read more

Love this place, outside is really nice as well for a quick walk.

$8/adults. $6/kids 3-12. Kids < 3 free. The otters are a blast for kids and the live dive at 2:30p followed by daily 3p feedings are great for everyone. Make sure to stop by before u leave the island

Outside nature walk is a fun and relaxing break. But a great aquarium in general.

You can get snacks for hangry children and adults at the Dairy Queen that's part of the building.

Nice mid-sized aquarium with free wifi .

Enjoyed a great afternoon here! Loved the huge tank with the sharks and all the turtles too

Otters , sea turtles , sharks , and aquarium life abound at this expensive , but well done, aquarium . (Dieting? Beware the siren call of the Dairy Queen/Orange Julius at the exit door.)

Vets get in free on nov 11th. Active duty buy tickets at itt. Party of ten or more is discounted

Great experience ! Don't miss the bog garden .

Recently renovated with fun interactive tanks , huge shipwreck exhibit with 10-foot sharks . Awesome kids' activities. Great thing to do on a rainy beach day. Read more

Free entry if you have an NC Zoo annual pass!

With our Columbus Zoo season pass we got in free. This aquarium is great and the shark tank is very impressive!

Admission is very reasonable (11.95 military ).

See the flight show. Great friendly staff . Also very educational .

Neat little aquarium off the beaten path..

This place is a great learning experience of NC marine biology.

Love the way the tank divers interacted with the kids while in the tank

A good rattlesnake exhibir
