NC Estuarium
The Estuarium is an aquarium with unique exhibits about the Pamlico-Tar River System. An estuary is formed where fresh water and salt water mix together, creating a dynamic and vital ecosystem. The Estuarium features over 200 exhibits with unique environmental artworks, living aquariums and the "Crab Pot" gift shop. Special programs are offered throughout the year, as well as group programs. A children's scavenger hunt activity at the museum is available at www.partnershipforthesounds.org. Native plants fill the Estuarium gardens. The popular pontoon boat River Roving tours are seasonal and require reservations.
