Broadway At The Beach

South Carolina's most visited attraction a $40 million, 87,000 sq ft aquarium experience.
There is only one small exhibition room on the entry level and then you go down to the spacious lower level to the discovery centre, a riot of colour and neon.

The Schooling Fish Tank, a 10- foot cylindrical exhibit, is home to a unique array of different species of fish native to local coastal waters.

A collection of delicate undersea life such as Pacific Giant Octopus, sea anemones, living corals, jellies and weedy sea dragons are featured as art in The Living Gallery.

Rainbow Rock offers a stunning view of thousands of brilliantly colored Pacific fishes from Hawaii, Australia and the Indian Ocean through an acrylic window the size of two movie screens.
The freshwater Rio Amazon exhibit showcases piranha and other exotic species unique to the Amazon rain forest.

Visitors are surrounded on all sides by menacing 10-foot sharks as they travel through Dangerous Reef, a 750,000 gallon tank, on the world's longest
330 foot moving glidepath.The effect is wonderful to have huge sawfish, eels, sharks and many other varieties swimming all around you. Ever wondered what a stingray looks like underneath? Well this is your chance to find out.

We were told that it is not possible to use real coral or greenery and it is a little disconcerting at first to see plastic weeds. However the fish are so spectacular that soon we did not notice.

There are opportunities to touch a ray and shark and hold a horeshoe crab for those so inclined!

We think the Aquarium will appeal to anyone who would like the chance to see fish "live" that they would be unable to see otherwise. However good the filming no television programme can do justice to the colours and accurately indicate size and there is simply no sustitute for seeing the real thing.
