The North Carolina Aquariums

These are really beautiful places to visit and see all sorts of sealife. It's also one of those great rainy day visits or when the sun is just too hot to bear, scoot inside and check out the Aquarium.

Now our family lived near the Aquaruim at Pine Knoll Shores, but there are two other locations in Roanoke and Fort Fisher. If stationed in the area, getting a family membership really pays off, but if that is not in the budget for you, don't worry the aquariums usually have plenty of free or reduced days to check out the facility, they also have a military discount if the tickets are purchased in advance.

Be sure to check out their calendar and their "What's New" page to find events from fishing clinics, day camps, to toddler activities. It's an awesome way to spend a day. http://www.ncaquariums.com/

Here is another awesome page created by Nicole Elliott with photos from the Aquarium. Doesn't she do a great job? Thanks Nicole!!
