"We felt like we were actually swimming with the sharks and dancing with the penguins. We’re ready to do it all over again!" --Allison from Reynoldsburg, Ohio
Winter Family Days Two children ages 2-12 admitted free with each adult paying full admission price of $20. Children under 2 always free. Strollers welcome.
Newport Aquarium showcases over 7,000 aquatic creatures from around the world in a million gallons of water. Named the No. 1 aquarium in the Midwest in the Zagat Survey’s U.S. Family Travel Guide in 2004. A state-of-the art facility, the Newport Aquarium brings to the banks of the Ohio River some of the world's most advanced, creative technology -- not to mention amazing animals -- all designed to take you around the globe, visiting each continent, every ocean and hundreds of waterways in between.
And what a way to travel: Underwater tunnels. See-through floors. Walk-around exhibits. And a touch pool. No one before has combined, with such mesmerizing flare, the magic of entertainment and the power of education. Our underwater tunnels, totaling 200 feet, are among the very few in the world that are completely seamless.
Designed and manufactured in Colorado, each is one solid piece of acrylic, resulting in a 100 percent unobstructed view of the watery world that surrounds you. You'll walk on the wet side in a kelp forest; a moray eel hideaway; a flooded Amazon rainforest; a colorful coral reef; and a shark feeding ground, Surrounded by Sharks.
Great for:
- Children
- Teens/Young Adults
- Families
- Couples
- Arts Aficionados
- History Buffs
- Outdoor Enthusiasts
