My wife and I visited the Newport Aquarium because we had really enjoyed a trip to the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, TN. Since the Newport facility was so recently constructed, we felt certain that it would be an enjoyable experience. Wrong. The aquarium has poorly designed and maintained exhibits, many of which do not have any information about the creatures... more

My husband and I took our niece to the Newport Aquarium and had a great time. The Penguin Parade wasn’t as elaborate as I had thought it would be, there was only one penguin, but it was still very cute. I’ve been to several aquariums and this was definitely up there with the better ones! You don’t need an entire... more

The Newport Aquarium is located at Newport on the Levee on the banks of the Ohio river overlooking Cincinnati. It's a great place to visit and has activities for the whole family. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to assist you. There are many different types of marine life that can be viewed in the small separete aquariums or in... more

I visited Newport Aquarium with a couple of friends. We had a lovely time walking through all the many exhibits. My personal favorite was the shark section as the views were unbelievable! There were quite a few kids there when we went and there were times that we had to hang back for a bit to let them move along... more

I think the price is a little high for adults: $20/person but it was worth it to me because my nine month old daughter really enjoyed it. There was plenty for her to see at stroller level, she especially enjoyed the tunnels. We were a little disappointed that the shark exhibit was closed. They should have mentioned that to us... more

I visited here with my sister and her husband in July and while the exhibits were very good, the place was EXTREMELY crowded. There was a huge line to buy tickets, and then a line to get in after you got your tickets. We stood in the pouring rain to get in but it was fairly worth the price. It's... more

We live in Ohio, but never went to the newport and decided to go last weekend. It was really crowded (which I expected), but overall I do not think that the experience was worth the cost. Many displays can be seen at our zoo (Columbus Zoo and Aquarium--which by the way was recently ranked the #1 zoo and aquarium in... more

A nice aquarium but it costs a little to much to get in. We went threw the place in about 2.5 hours. My 10 year old son liked petting the sharks and rays. more

Took my kids to the Aquarium for a day or so getaway. I was pleased with the attraction and wanted to comment on what we liked and all. The price I felt was over rated, but we got to the window and the gentleman working there gave us the family pack, 2 kids get in free with a paying adult.... more
