This is a really cool trip! I was a diver in the shark tank for a while. Check out the touch tank and the sea turtle rescue. There's an outside playground, a local aquatic and reptile area with an albino alligator and a bald eagle! Also, a place to dig through and look for sharks teeth. I'm happy to give insider tips!

One of my favorites! Kids and adults love this place. They have extensive miniature train systems, that are interactive. Press buttons to watch cars go through driveways, start trains, even launch a miniature hot-air balloon! They have rooms of them set up like many local SE NC towns. Go into a couple old trains and explore the history of trains.
