The Charleston Riverdogs are the city's very own Minor League Baseball team that takes to the diamond every spring to not only play the best baseball they can, but to also please their many fans who come to watch them play America's favorite sport. That fanatical devotion is rewarded with several fan-oriented promotions at many of the home games played at the Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. The team is a Class A affiliate of the New York Yankees.
If you want to really dive into a truly memorable experience that tells the tale of Charleston's nature and history, then take a trip to the South Carolina Aquarium. There are more than a few photo-opportunities at this seaside attraction, like the excellent, panoramic views of the historic harbor where the Aquarium makes its home. You'll marvel at the displays that tell the stories of the area's natural regions such as the Coastal Plain, Mountain Forest, Piedmont and the Atlantic Coast. Also, you'll get to view an amazing collection of reptiles, birds and other creatures that are part of several interactive exhibits that the kids will never forget.
