Planning a visit to the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher? Over 1 million people visit the NC Aquariums each year, and there’s much to see and do. The Aquarium includes indoor and outdoor exhibits, auditorium, classrooms, meeting rooms, and a gift shop. In addition, there are daily programs featuring live animals, marine life videos and special activities.

The newly expanded North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is all about close encounters with North Carolina's amazing aquatic animals "from the mountains to the sea."
