Aquarium & Shark Lab by Team ECCO


511 N. Main St.
Hendersonville, NC 28792

The Aquarium & Shark Lab by Team E.C.C.O. is home to waves of saltwater fish and invertebrates, along with dozens of land locked reptiles. Explore their gallery of exhibits housing fantastic animals from around the world showcasing exotic tortoises, geckos, eels, rays, stone fishes, and 4 species of small sharks. Interact with guides and learn fascinating trivia about our “cheekier” finned friends. Meet a Crested gecko or an orange toad fish! Be sure to watch the small shark and ray feed (1:30pm) where you will learn about our research on behavioral imprinting and shark egg development. Afterward, take time for a picture – their stingray Charlotte loves to include herself in your photo! Take quiet time to just relax and enjoy the beauty of this little ocean. Team E.C.C.O. is here to promote ocean education and awareness through interactive programs offering science to all. We are the Aquarium & Shark Lab by Team E.C.C.O., “The aquarium that inspires”. NOTE: Please check our website for additional information on programs, hours, or changes in admission.
