We had a good experience and the exhibits were nice. Wasn’t too crowded either. My only complaints is some of the exhibits were too small for the sea life and I felt bad for them. My other complaint is the tickets were a bit overpriced, in my opinion. But still overall, it was good.

I was a little worried that it was going to be a waste of money! Let me tell you, IT WAS A BLAST!!! I never realized how much there is in that building. The glass bottom boat was educational and fun! I never knew I could have so much fun and spend so much time just looking reading taking pictures and watching my granddaughter ooh and awe at everything. She loved it as much as I did! You could spend an entire day there and still be impressed.

This aquarium is clean and well lit. Lots of different sea creatures to see. Boards were informative. You could pet the stingrays and a few sea creatures as well. The shark tunnel was a highlight (and very long) as was the jellyfish. Highlight during December was the Christmas trees. They had one from each state with different ornaments on it. They were all lovely. Highly recommend.

We were able to visit the aquarium with family. It had been a few years since we had been. Many additions had been made. We especially liked the tunnel tank where we could view the sharks, Gabby the sea turtle, and sword fish. We had a great visit. Can’t wait until next time. If you’re an educator, you get s discount!

This is our favorite Aquarium to visit. Love how much they've added since our last visit 10 years ago. Penguins, sloths...more touch tanks & 2 awesome play ground areas inside! Our favorite is the danger reef & the stingray touch tank! Will be back next year!

We visited the Ripley's aquarium in Feb. 2024. It was a bit pricey, but when you go in you get to see a lot for the money. The staff were very knowlegeble and happily answered all of my sons questions. My wife just love touching and feeding the stingray. She named the spotted one batman. Walking through the glass tunnel was great. We spent a lot of time in that. The restrooms were clean. The gift shop was large. We will return. Recommend

We stopped here with our 9 year old. It is definitely expensive, $112 for 2 hours, but we thought parts of the aquarium were very well done. The tunnel with the sharks and other marine life was one of the coolest I’ve done at an aquarium. The penguin exhibit was very nice as well.

Overall, an easy visit with some minor complaints. We didn’t care for the layout to get to some exhibits, you can easily miss a few things (stingrays). We took our 2.5 year old, we happened to be there while a class trip was also happening. Hard to avoid something like that but the kids mowed down our toddler. This would be great if your visiting and the weather isnt great, need a break from the beach, etc. We went as it opened.

What a wonderful place to take your family. The walk through shark tank is amazing. The penguins are so cute and being able to go in their enclosure inside a viewing tube was great. A definite must if you are in the area with children or grandchildren.

It's not worth the price you pay for the aquarium entry fee. I had much higher expectations of such a highly advertised experience. Quite unfortunate as there's not a ton to do in Myrtle Beach when it's raining and this would be the perfect place for families. Look for coupons, if available!
