Our aquarium is perfect for all ages! Whether you're visiting with family, friends, or your special someone, you're guaranteed to have a blast exploring.

Don’t miss our Kid Zone upstairs—a creative space for little ones to get creative. While you’re there, check out our insect and arachnid exhibit, located right in the Kid Zone area. It’s a must-see for all ages!

While we don’t have a full merchandise shop, we do offer a selection of Topsail Aquarium-themed goodies! Check out our exclusive T-shirts, adoption kits, jewelry, and a variety of handmade items crafted by talented local artisans!

Parking: We do have limited parking spaces, if our lot is full there is plenty of public parking around us! Those slots will be paid spots spring through fall.

Inside: Our building is wheelchair accessible! While our Kid Zone and the insect & arachnid exhibit are located upstairs, we’re more than happy to bring a spider down for a special meet-and-greet!

That’s up to you! As a locally owned aquarium, we’re smaller than some others in the area. Some visitors explore in 30 minutes, while others spend over an hour soaking it all in.

If you’ve applied sunscreen, please rinse your hands thoroughly before touching anything—it helps protect our tanks and keeps our animals safe and healthy!
