About this adventure

Located within Concord Mills Mall northeast of Charlotte, SEA LIFE Charlotte-Concord is an interactive indoor aquarium home to more than 5,000 marine animals across 10 themed zones. The centerpiece is Charlotte's only 180-degree underwater ocean tunnel, where blacktip reef sharks, giant stingrays, and rescued green sea turtles glide directly over visitors' heads. Young children can roll up their sleeves at the interactive touchpool to gently touch pencil sea urchins, sea stars, and cleaner shrimp with the guidance of marine educators. The climate-controlled indoor setting is completely stroller accessible, making it an ideal family escape on chilly winter days.
