![]() ![]() As long as you have your tickets, you can re-enter and go through the aquarium again that same visit (they let us anyway). ![]() It wasn’t very crowded on the rainy, Monday in February that we went so the kids were able to cross the bridge several times.Īfter crossing the Shark Bridge, we entered the Gift Shop area which leads back to the lobby. This was probably one of the kids’ favorite features of the aquarium. It is a V-shaped Rope Bridge that we were able to walk across while the sharks swam beneath us. There is a small area that is set up like a theatre with rows of seats and the “big screen” is a huge glass where we could watch the penguins.Īt the very end of the aquarium, we were able to walk across the Shark Bridge. The walls were painted with murals of sharks and other sea creatures and there was a jelly fish light fixture.īelow: We found Nemo and Marlin (we also found Dory, but my pic of her didn’t turn out).īelow: The kiddos also enjoyed watching all of the turtles in the aquariumīelow: Petting Starfish at the Shore Galleryīelow: We next visited the Penguin Palooza Area. The aquarium is undergoing some renovations and adding a stingray exhibit which will be nice when it is finished.Įven the fixtures and décor were ocean related…very cute. There are over 20 species of exotic frogs in this area. The kids really enjoyed seeing all the frogs and playing in the little play area in The Frog Bog. There are snacks and drinks here (and restrooms).īelow: Beyond Sharky’s Café is Shark Central and the kids were able to touch sharks as they swan by. There is a small cafeteria area called Sharky’s Café in the aquarium. It is more of a series of glass tunnels and hallways leading from one exhibit to another. It doesn’t have the open floor plan than many others have. ![]() We’ve been to several aquariums, and this one did seem to be on the smaller side. There are Sand Tiger Sharks, Sandbar Sharks, Blacktip Reef Sharks, California Roof Sharks, and Port Jackson Sharks. We enjoyed learning facts about the different kinds of sharks at the Newport Aquarium. The Newport Aquarium has 4 Shark Rays -Sunshine, Scooter, Sweet Pea, and Spike. It is quite an experience to have a shark swim right up to you…a little scary and fascinating all at the same time.īelow: After some unenthusiastic photos in the lobby, we headed down the escalator to begin our tour. We loved seeing all of the sea creatures, but especially the sharks and shark rays. It is a cute aquarium located right on the Levee. We really enjoyed our visit to the Newport Aquarium in Newport, Kentucky (just right next to Cincinnati, Ohio). If I could describe the Newport Aquarium in three words, those words would be sharks, sharks and sharks… ![]()
