This is a great place to go, especially in cold or rainy weather when you don't want to be outdoors with kids. I'm in here at least once a week with my daughter and any other kids I'm watching. They always have a lot of fun and I enjoy it too. There are several tunnels through the aquarium where the creatures are swimming over you. Those are usually our favorite spots. Petting the sharks is also a favorite.
The aquarium individual and family passes are the way to go. Otherwise tickets are very overpriced. The way they have everything priced you're membership will pay for itself in 2 or 3 visits. Definitely something every stay-at-home dad and mom in Cincinnati should get.
The Newport Aquarium was a great experience! The facility is very large, has a lot of great interactive exhibits (pet the stingrays etc.), and some very neat opportunities to walk through the fish tank tunnels. Although a little pricey, you can save some money by visiting during the holidays
Lots of fun, and informative all around the aquarium. Visited as a date, just two adults and no kids, and still had a great time seeing everything and interacting with the fish where able. I've been to Newport a few times in the past and there are changes or upgrades every time to keep it new and fresh.
The shark walk is a must try, at least once. If only for the ability to say that you walked on a rope above a tank of sharks. Sounds cool, right? It takes about two minutes and there will be people close behind you and close in front. But take your time and try to spot one while you pass over. The touch pool is also a big favorite of ours. Could easily spend an hour there but gotta share the space!
Season pass is a great value if you catch the buy 3 get 1 free deal. Thoroughly enjoyed the additional penguin and behind the scenes encounters. The Frog Bog play place for the little ones to burn energy coupled with a reasonable priced cafe makes this a great day trip with small children. Easily wheelchair and stroller accessible. Plenty of hands on activities and knowledgeable employees scattered throughout to answer questions. Open 365 days a year.
