About North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores
The North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores invites visitors to explore exhibits featuring river otters, sharks, stingrays, and alligators in habitats representing the waters of the Outer Banks. The facility includes the Sea Turtle Assistance and Rehabilitation Center, where guests observe rescue and rehabilitation efforts. Daily programs such as Creature Feature presentations are included with admission. The aquarium offers a Homeschool Series with hands-on activities and science experiments for children, as well as special events like Phantom Seas featuring haunted swamp and mermaid cove experiences.
