We had such a great time and plan to go back this summer. It's been 2 years since we vistited Ripley and my 6 year old son is still talking about it! My only complaint...a little crowded..but not unbearable. A+

Good fun

The pirates display was fun and informative. A really myth buster. We liked being able to handle some of the sealife such as the rays and the crabs.
It was worth the money and the kids loved it. We definately would go back.

Not so great

The Ripley's aquarium is not worth the money you pay. I love the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and could not help but to compare the 2. Ripley's was way to small, and did not not have near enough exhibits. The titanic exibit was interesting but small and crowded. I did like the overhead section, watching the sharks swim overhead was neat. We're coming back to Myrtle Beach this summer but won't be going to Ripley's Aquarium.

nice to visit but not exciting

it was to over rated and to crowed to actually enjoy. the underwater with the belt to stay on went to fast and it would have been a whole lot better if you could walk thru at your own pace

really fun for the kids

the kids loved it. it was very beautiful, but a bit pricey for a family of 4. The ride through the tunnel where the sharks were all around was spactacular. If u have small kids they will like it but it is expensive.

Well Worth the Money

When we were planning the different things we were going to do on our trip, we really wanted to do this, but were concerned with the price. We were more than pleasantly surprised and are SO glad we went. This is a MUST to do in Myrtle Beach!

Had a Wonderful Time

My best time at Ripley's was a the two-way mirror. When we first went by it, we were on the front side and naturally, I checked my hair and make up. We kept going and soon we realized that we were on the back side and could see what was going on in the room on the front side.. We watched the ladies stand there and primp for a long time, even ...

Great family event

Really nice place to take the entire family!
Cool fish, underwater tunnel, you can feed the horseshoe crabs, there are little classes for the kids, and its all at a really cool shopping place called Broadway at the Beach which is the huge outdoor shoppling, dining, and nightlife place all in the heart of Myrtle Beach - everything is close by!

Overpriced and overrated
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/07/07
Having seen fantastic aquariums in Baltimore, Boston, and elsewhere, we were sadly disappointed by this place. It is in a cramped space and has few exhibits. We also had to contend with hundreds of school children jammed into close quarters. There are two scheduled shows as well--both are lame. I would advise visitors to Myrtle Beach to save their money and spend it on other attractions in the area.
