About SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord Aquarium

This SEA LIFE aquarium at Concord Mills in Concord, North Carolina, houses roughly 1,000 creatures across about 20 exhibits. Visitors can walk through an underwater tunnel beneath tropical fish, sharks, and sea turtles, handle sea stars in an interactive touchpool, and meet a rescued sea turtle. Jellyfish and stingray exhibits are also featured. Guided behind-the-scenes tours and birthday parties are offered, and the site is part of the wider SEA LIFE conservation effort.
