KURE BEACH, N.C. — Beach towns typically find themselves less crowded during the winter, and this week is always recorded as the slowest week of the year for the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher.
They’re taking advantage of the lack of crowd to shut down for renovations.
The aquarium first opened its doors 47 years ago, and we're told that they were due for many major renovations, including an updated parking lot, added speed bumps, new doors, freshly painted walls, new carpet and a deep clean of all exhibits.
The aquarium will open on Saturday, Feb. 4. Tickets are available online.
