Its different from a regular zoo because of the very interactive experience as well as the personal connections between them and the animals. I will 100 percent be back before the end of the month.

Can't wait to visit again!

The NC Estuarium offers ferry rides on the Tar and Pamlico Rivers at various times during the year. I really enjoy the rides as you might see some wildlife besides the plant life. The captain provide fun facts along the way too. The museum is 12,500 square foot and serves as an education center. It provides a great overview of the estuaries and coastal rivers which are an important part of the ecosystem where fresh water and salt water mix. 90% of NC seafood comes from estuaries. We need to keep these waterways clean. In the lobby the display is large and shows the different parts of North Carolina. The NC Esturium is part museum and part aquarium. The aquarium focuses just on estuary species. It has over 200 exhibits and a lot are hands on. The part about the hurricanes was informative and showed the damage done from the rising sea levels. I highly recommend visiting this unique museum.

It is located right over the bridge from Emerald Isle, so it is super convenient.

It was raining so we couldn't do the mini-golf or go-carts. There is also a huge jungle gym & driving range. Inside had an approx. 20 lane bowling alley and a large selection of modern day video games ( including VR types). I say "modern day" since you won't find any classics like Pac-Mac or Donkey Kong. I didn't see pinball either but there might have been. No coins or tokens here. Load up a player's card with $, and each game is $1-4. Gain points on your card as you play and cash them in for prizes at the counter. I see they do run specials depending on the day of the week. IMO a great place.

If you have someone in your family who enjoys monster trucks then this is the place to stop hands down. It's a relatively quick stop, so it shouldn't take too much time from your beach trip. Animals: pigs, chickens and goats to name a few, which was a surprise and my kid loved interacting with them. Rides: RIP tide was a great experience and my kid has T stopped talking about the experience. It's $10 bucks and cash only, but totally worth the money. Shop: very well laid out and easily shipped with tons of monster truck items to choose from. Prices are a bit higher than Walmart or Amazon, but certainly not totally off basis - what do you really expect though... This is absolutely a must do and we are stopping by again on the way home.

As we walked up to the entrance there is a dinasaur. The kids loved it but it could definitely use a fresh coat of paint. The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and helpful describing the 4 floors so we would know what we were doing. The first and 2nd floors were definitely entertaining for the kiddos. They loved the area on the 1st floor where they could race lights that moved at the speed of animals. They also loved the weighted scales and exercise machines. The 2nd floor is reptiles which the boys loved! From there it went downhill...the 3rd floor is the history of wilson which may be good for adults but not young kids. The 4th floor we found out was administrative offices so we couldn't go on that floor. In the foyer there are two kaleidoscopes and the kids absolutely loved those.. At $6 per person I was a little disappointed but the kids seemed to be happy so that's what matters.

We didn't have the greatest start to our visit this time, having had a hard time getting our reserved tickets we instead just drive across the bridge to Manteo and went to the customer service window. The attendant was very rude to the point of scolding us to not show up expecting to be able to get a ticket day-of. I'm not used to people being so rude but she said it multiple times. We then bought our tickets and after it was processed my phone recognized that I was at a partner museums and encouraged me to ask for my 50% discount and she didn't accommodate it. Not a great experience. We still enjoyed the exhibits, including the sea turtle rehab areas. I especially love the USS Monitor exhibit recognizing the contribution to naval history and of course the jellyfish.
