Fodor's Review:

The. A recent $25 million renovation tripled the facility's size. Exhibits include a touch pool with live horseshoe crabs; river otters; and a 306,000-gallon, 64-foot-long Living Shipwreck of a German submarine sunk off the North Carolina coast in 1942. There's a large selection of programs, walks, and excursions. You can take a nighttime stroll on the beach looking for loggerhead turtles or kayak the Theodore Roosevelt Natural Area. Kids will love seeing the aquarium menagerie getting fed or spending a night at a slumber party in front of the Living Shipwreck exhibit.
