About this place

An aquarium on Roanoke Island displaying local water life and animals from around the world. Visitors can see alligators, sharks, and river otters, and touch stingrays.

Families can fish from the Soundside Pier or join hands-on workshops. Entry requires advance online booking to secure a time slot.

If you are a member here

A membership to No. Carolina Aquarium at Roanoke Island carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
