Come explore!

Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach invites you to Come Explore! In 2020 the Aquarium is opening the largest expansion in its history with the addition of Penguin Playhouse featuring South African Penguins and a new World Ocean’s exhibit that houses brand-new species. Explore over 14,000 fish on display and get in on the action with interactive experiences - you can pet a jellyfish, stingray or bamboo shark, hold a horseshoe crab and enjoy hourly dive shows. There are even VIP experiences including Glass Bottom Boat Adventure, Swim with the Rays and Penguin Encounters that are available too. The highlight of any visit is Ripley’s 750,000 gallon “Dangerous Reef” where you ride our 330’ glidepath through the Shark Tunnel and come face-to-face with huge, deadly sharks, 11’ sawfish and Gabby the Green Sea Turtle! Located at Myrtle Beach’s premiere entertainment, dining and shopping complex, “Broadway At The Beach,” the Aquarium offers hours of family fun 365 days a year.
