When the South Carolina Aquarium closes for the day, a unique event site opens. As your guests arrive on our Riverside Terrace, they will experience Charleston from an entirely different perspective. Gorgeous views abound at the South Carolina Aquarium – both inside and out. Dine with hundreds of aquatic guests beside our two-story Great Ocean Tank and dance through the grandeur of our Great Hall.

We understand the importance of communication and responsiveness and will work with you to ensure that your event is a success. Schedule a walk through to discuss the endless possibilities.
