Touch Tank Feeding @ Museum of Coastal Carolina
Dec 29 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

You’re invited to get up close with some of the more familiar creatures found in our ocean.

Our touch tank pool allows you to gently touch marine animals such as sea stars, sea urchins, whelks, horseshoe crabs, and hermit crabs. These animals live in a variety of habitats and have developed many ways to survive the waves and predators. Volunteers are on hand to assist and teach you about these incredible animals.

Did you know, when a sea urchin “hugs” your finger if you gently touch its spines, it’s actually checking you out: Are you food or predator? If you’re neither, the animal will just gradually release you.
