The 2,500-square-foot Education Center – featuring a saltwater touch tank and a live baby alligator among its exhibits — was created to share with visitors the interdependence of human beings and the natural community, focusing on the intersection of land, marsh and sea that makes the Grand Strand such an attractive and critical environment. Sample programs include:

Alligator Observation Atalaya Ghost Tour Behind the Scenes at Huntington Life of the Sea Turtle Secret Lives of Sea Shells

Snakes and Reptiles Spineless Sea Wonders Surf Seining Whales and Dolphins

All programs are free with payment of park access fees (excluding special events).
The center is open Tuesday through Sunday year-round from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at the marsh boardwalk.
