May 12, 2023 – Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach is proud to announce the opening of Sloth Valley! A first-of-its-kind experience for Ripley’s, Sloth Valley is an all-new habitat designed to bring visitors up-close and personal with one of the world’s most fascinating creatures.

In Sloth Valley, guests come face-to-face with the Aquarium’s resident two-toed sloths, Rico and Cleo. This state-of-the-art exhibit is designed not only for guests to encounter a sloth like never before but also to provide the highest standard of animal care.

Look closely and you’ll see enrichment toys for Rico and Cleo to work on their puzzle-solving skills. Listen and you’ll hear rainforest sounds meant to mimic their natural environment and keep them stimulated. Look up and notice the vines and branches are meticulously placed to allow for a sloth to have plenty of mobility and resting spots. Step inside with a Sloth Encounter (coming soon as an add-on experience to Aquarium admission) and feel the humidity of the rainforest!

“Sloth Valley is a welcome addition to the already impressive collection of animals at Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach,” said General Manger Pablo Chavez. “Through interactives, thoughtful design, and immersive experiences, we are proud to provide visitors with an unforgettable experience that is both fun and informative.”

Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach — the only place you can experience Sloth Valley — has set the standard for the company’s Aquarium ventures, paving the way for two subsequent world-class facilities in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and Toronto, Canada.

Myrtle Beach, SC – Jan. 24, 2023 – From Ocean Boulevard to Broadway at the Beach, Ripley’s Attractions are introducing all-new, exciting experiences in Myrtle Beach this spring! Notably — hang in there, as things are a little upside down now but slowly coming together — Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach will be opening the all-new Sloth Valley habitat!

In Sloth Valley, Aquarium guests will come face-to-face with two-toed sloths to learn about this adorable, slow-moving species. They will then be able to set sail on adventure as Ripley’s Aquarium brings new excitement to its Discovery Center, inviting guests to walk the plank and dive into oceans of family fun with a brand-new play structure, interactive experiences, and hands-on animal encounters.

The family fun doesn’t stop at the Aquarium! Ocean Boulevard will be welcoming four fresh Attractions:

• Ripley’s Illusion Lab – Switch up your perspective, challenge your senses, and spark your curiosity as you engage with optical, photographic, and interactive illusions. At Ripley’s Illusion Lab, visitors are invited to step into a world of optical trickery and view things from a totally new — and bizarre — perspective!
• Ripley’s Crazy Golf – You’ve never played miniature golf like this before — it is Ripley’s, after all! From zip-lining holes to selfie-worthy shots and epic glowing lights, this isn’t your average course. Grab a drink from the bar and put your and your family’s skills to the test!
• Ripley’s Mirror Maze Expansion – Already a family favorite on the Boulevard, Ripley’s Marvelous Mirror Maze is expanding with even more endless mirrored hallways, infinity rooms, and surreal surprises!
• Ripley’s Haunted Adventure – The horrors remain as Ripley’s Haunted Adventure grows and transforms into a 1908 macabre manor. A murder mystery comes alive through the twists and turns of each room. Can you find the clues needed to catch the killer, or will you become the next victim?

Ripley’s new experiences will be opening late spring, beginning with Sloth Valley at Ripley’s Aquarium of Myrtle Beach. Think you’re already a sloth expert? Test your sloth knowledge for a chance to win early access to this all-new habitat! Play Here!
