SeaQuest Lynchburg is an interactive aquarium and exotic animal attraction located at River Ridge Mall, 3405 Candlers Mountain Road, in Lynchburg, Virginia. The facility is home to more than 1,200 animals representing some 300 species, ranging from aquatic life to tropical and exotic creatures. Visitors can hand-feed stingrays, sharks, toucans, and caimans, encounter sloths, capybaras, wallabies, giant tortoises, parakeets, and bearded dragons, and even snorkel in the premier 36,000-gallon reef exhibit filled with sharks, stingrays, and hundreds of tropical fish. Walk-in aviaries and face-to-face crocodilian feeding experiences add additional thrills. Beautifully designed habitats mimic natural ecosystems, and the attraction is open Monday through Saturday with extended weekend hours, making it a lively, hands-on destination for families in central Virginia.
