Exhibits

Secrets of the Amazon
You can become an explorer in the jungles and rivers of the Amazon in our new changing exhibit, Secrets of the Amazon. An amazing experience awaits as you trek through a researcher's hut to experience the sights and sounds of adventure. Exhibits featuring the diversity of the Amazon are found throughout the exhibit where animals such as a green anaconda, goliath bird-eating spider, piranha, electric eels, poison dart frogs and a green aracari await.

Mission
The South Carolina Aquarium is a self-supporting educational institution dedicated to excellence in its display and interpretation of the aquatic environments of South Carolina. The South Carolina Aquarium inspires wonder and appreciation for and fosters conservation of those environments for future generations.

Vision
The South Carolina Aquarium will be recognized as a world-class environmental institution to work for and with. We measure our success through our exhibits, programs, partnerships and leadership within the communities we serve and represent.
