Aquarium Aglow at South Carolina Aquarium

Enter to Win a Behind-the-Scenes Tour at the South Carolina Aquarium

As part of a new sponsorship between BECU and the South Carolina Aquarium, guests have the chance to win a private, behind-the-scenes tour of the Great Ocean Tank — a 385,000-gallon exhibit filled with sharks, stingrays, sea turtles and hundreds of other sea creatures. This unforgettable experience, typically reserved for sponsors and donors, is valued at $250 and offers a rare glimpse into the magic of marine life.
