"We had a good day. We were there for about 4 hours. The only thing that I felt could have been improved was the food accommodations. It was cool though, you could tough stuff...."
"My husband and I were looking for something to do other than the beach. We both enjoyed the aquarium. We even got to touch the stingrays, horseshoe crabs, and little sharks. The visit was peaceful and educational. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend this to everyone, but e..."specially those with small children.

"Stopped by after visiting the aquarium, and glad we did. I love history, especially battlefields. I grew up in Virginia. I never realized how important Fort Fisher was to the Civil War. After visiting the museum (make sure you watch the 10 minute documentary), we walked out the back door for a w..."alk around parts of the fort. You can walk up one of the earthen dunes where the ammo was housed and the cannons were placed to protect the fort. The entire visit lasted about 1hour.
