Living in a coastal state, most South Carolinians will readily admit the only place we want to see a shark underwater is in an aquarium. Luckily, there’s an aquarium in the Palmetto State that makes seeing a shark up close and underwater possible. Walk through shark-infested waters through the middle of an aquarium on a path that’s longer than a football field for a positively engaging undersea adventure at Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach.

While most aquariums are simply fascinating with a chance to nearly touch many species of sea life, the Dangerous Reef experience at Ripley's is an immersive experience like no other.

With a general admission ticket to the aquarium, visitors can, among many other things, meander along a 340-foot glide path into the deep blue sea with water above and all around.

Marvel at the enormous sharks as they swim right up to the glass. And enjoy getting a very close look at one of the most dangerous and intimidating sea creatures of all.

Plus, there are other sea creatures within the aquarium. Do your homework before you go so you can identify the snappers, grunts, tarpons, squirrelfish, giant stingrays, saw fish, and the shark species.

If you're lucky, you'll come face to face with the green sea turtle that calls this reef home.
