North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher
900 Loggerhead Road, Kure Beach, NC 28449
Spend a few hours face-to-face with the coast at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher, where hands-on exhibits and big-ticket habitats bring NC's shoreline to life. Wander from salt marshes and tidal pools to the two-story open-ocean tank filled with sharks, rays and eels. Say hey to otters, spot Luna the albino alligator and meet the aquarium’s rescued bald eagle. Outdoor gardens, dive shows, animal encounters and behind-the-scenes tours make it easy to turn a beach day into something even more memorable. Online ticket reservations are required and can sell out.
