4. South Carolina Aquarium

One of the best shows in town, inside and out, the aquarium exhibits aquatic life from the South Carolina Upcountry to the coast. From the outside terraces, you’ll sometimes see dolphins at play in the Cooper River. (from Southern Living)

DOWNTOWN.   Charleston's aquarium offers unforgettable, panoramic views of the historic harbor, and things only get better from there. Visitors can appreciate nature's magnificence both inside and out, making the place ideal no matter the season. Inside, displays detail SC's major regions: Mountain Forest, Piedmont, Coastal Plain, and Atlantic Coast. A variety of birds, reptiles, and salt- and freshwater fish is included as well. Interactive displays also allow children to experience close encounters with horseshoe crabs and starfish. The two-story shark tank is a sight to behold too!   (© 10Best)
