Let's just say I'm glad I got discount tickets, it seemed a little costly for the size of the place. My girlfriend and I were in and out of the aquarium within a 1/2hr 45 minutes. I feel for families who visit because it seemed very costly. The positive-we were out of the heat for a bit!!

This place is not worth the admission price. The place takes all of 15 minutes to get through. Way to small and is over crowded. Highly disappointed!!!!!

Disappointing

Not a good value for the money. The aquarium was small and not a lot to see. Don't let the name "Ripleys" fool you--nothing unusual. We were disappointed.

Have been to the one in Gatlinburg Tennessee and was very impressed with it. Am coming to Myrtle Beach this summer and Ripleys Aquarium is tops on our list of places to go. Walking underneath sharks was great.
It wasn't anything the hype made it out to be, it was a waste of money. It wasn't fun at all, the people in our party were all disappointed with the cost to get in, and then once in, it was just horrible.

Worth seeing.

There was a lot to see and touch. The prices are fairly reasonable. It was educational and fun. It was enjoyable for all of my family.

It's not what I thought it would be. It was way to crowed and it wasn't that big. The dark areas of the aquarium was scary for younger children. I had an eight year old and a six year old with me. They really seemed to enjoy it. They liked the big fish tank with the sharks. The 9 month year old didn't like. It seemed liked it only took ten min. to get through. I don't think I will go back again.
broadway at the beach is beautiful! ripley"s was very relaxing you can take your time walking thru looking at all the different themes of the aquarium, loved the glider path. I actually went thru twice, so much worth it! loved everything about broadwsy.

Not to bad

Well after reading all the other reviews I really didnt want to go here and waste money. Some people were pretty harsh in their reviews! But we went anyways, and its not all that bad. As far as high ticket prices, just say your local and give them a town nearby, and you get like half price ticket. The pirate exhibit is kinda boring, but other areas are interesting. They just need more exhibits. Great for kids of any age.

This aquarium is overpriced, too small, and somewhat boring. There isn't much to do or see there and before you know it you're done. Not worth the $19.50/person admission...thank goodness a stranger gave us tickets they could not use. I've heard the aquarium in Atlanta is the best and if you are going to the Bahamas the aquarium in ...
