I've grown up, and watched the Aquarium grow up, too!

My husband and I had the fun and privilege of visiting the Aquarium at Fort Fisher last fall, and we were totally impressed! The marine sculptures and fountains at the front entrance are absolutely beautiful pieces of artwork. The landscaping and nature walk are lush and peaceful, with many plants and animals to enjoy. I grew up going to Kure Beach and Ft. Fisher with my family, and I remember the Aquarium in its beginning stages when I was a young teenager back in the 70's. So, it was wonderful to see just how it has grown into the lovely, relaxing, educational, and impressive facility that it is today! I can see the many years of planning and development, hard work and creativity that has gone into the making of this natural beauty at Ft. Fisher, and I am proud to recommend it to anyone to go visit it. I live over 200 miles away, but my heart will always be there at the Aquarium and Ft. Fisher, so we will visit whenever we can. I like it because it is nicely affordable, and there's plenty to see and do, with all the marine life and exhibits, nature walks and gift shops, which are all expertly incorporated into this amazing Aquarium! We have visited other aquariums of bigger proportions in the southern region, but they still do NOT compare to ours at Ft. Fisher!
