Can't-Miss Things to Do on Your Outer Banks Vacay

08 North Carolina Aquarium

There are plenty of things to do in the Outer Banks when it's sunny, but what if the weather isn't cooperating? Head to the North Carolina Aquarium! There are many exhibits to choose from, and there's a lot more to see here than fish! Check out the Wander Through the Wetlands exhibit, where you'll see alligators, turtles, and river otters, and explore the grounds from the Southside Pier. You can also learn about sea turtle conservation, walk through a sunken ship, and learn about the history of the U.S.S. Monitor.
