Pros: All shark areas are awesome, convenient parking and nice surrounding area Cons: Expensive, claustrophobic feel
As huge fans of zoos and aquariums, mr_chelledun and I make it our business to pop into one almost every time we travel to a new area. We used a trip to the Cincinnati area for a wedding as an excuse to visit the Newport Aquarium. General ...
Pros: Tunnels with fish swimming overhead. Cons: Wet, dirty restrooms, forced trips to snack area and gift shop.
Entering the Newport Aquarium you are greeting by a nice chilly breeze, and a giant painting of the frozen Artic region. Wow, this is cool. (Excuse the pun!) And this was just in the ticket purchase area.
Pros: Introduces Children to the Life under the Sea. Cons: Crowds, no strollers, Expensive Entree Fee
I just got home from a trip where I met some friends in Southern Ohio. Planning a trip to a place that you do not know about can be hard, but with the internet we found a couple of neat places where we could entertain our children (7 total, ranging from...
Pros: The sharks look cool. Cons: Cramped conditions for guests and animals. Late shows, cheesy, bad exhibits.
This aquarium charges $17.00 for an adult admission and it takes about an hour to get through the exhibits...I call that outrageously priced! The place is small and crowded no matter what time of day you go. The line was hideous at 10:00 am and at ...
Pros: Nice presentation of fish and other sea creatures Cons: Still not as large or varied as more established aquariums, and is not cheap
I've been to the aquarium in Monterey, CA and as hard as it tries, Newport is NOT its equal. But, that being said, I will also say it is a good value for this area of the Midwest and a great attraction for the family with young...
Pros: Beautiful fish, penguins, sting rays Cons: prices of snack area, prices for children, can't use stroller, must go through gift shop to get to the exit.
Saturday we got up early and drove to Newport, KY (the border of kentucky and cincinnati, ohio). It was an hour and a half drive... Not too bad. We went to the Newport aquarium. It wasn't exactly what I had expected it to be but it was still a lot of...
Pros: PENGUINS! Underwater tunnels, play area, shark petting tank Cons: somewhat small, cost if you don't use discounts, no strollers during certain hours.
We just got home from a vacation with Grandma & Grandpa to Newport Aquarium! We were looking for something close to home that would keep the interest of a one year old and a set of grandparents as well as be a short enough visit to keep everyone from ...
Pros: stand 20 feet underwater and look around Cons: the price is a little steep
Newport Aquarium is well worth the effort of finding it. Coming from the interstate there are some intersections where you may not see signs to assure you are going in the correct direction. Fear not. Once you arrive, the building is impressive from...
Pros: Lots of animals, easy to find, nicely laid out Cons: A little on the expensive side
My wife and I wanted a weekend away from our home in Lexington, KY. After looking at the possibilities we chose to go to Newport, KY, around 80 miles north of Lexington. Getting there from Lexington is not really hard, just head out on I-75 north...
Pros: Nice selection of fish and other water creatures, well designed exhibits Cons: No strollers allowed, overpriced, pretty commercial
My children love animals, so the clear choice for our next outing was the Newport Aquarium. Since it opened, I've heard such great things about it. Maybe others are less cynical than I am. :)
Pros: 1.great for the area 2. several exhibits to see 3. great tunnels to make you feel like you are in the ocean Cons: 1. still in the beginning stages so under construction 2. crowded if you go on weekends so go during the week
Newport Aquarium just opened recently in the area and I think it's pretty good considering it's not completely finished yet.
The Aquarium is something the area really needed for families. My children loved it. Being new when we went to see it...
Pros: Inexpensive way to spend an hour or two. Lots of beautiful exhibits Cons: Tunnel was not "seamless" as advertised! Many exhibits empty during off season.
Ever since the Newport Aquarium opened I have wanted to see this seamless tunnel they boast of, where you are surrounded by water and sharks and sting rays. It just sounded so cool. I tried to go last summer with a friend but we got there, parked and...
Pros: not too far from Cincinnati, glass tunnel Cons: over crowded, rip off
One night while watching television with my husband we saw an ad for the Newport Aquarium. We had been looking for someplace interesting to take our daughter on a mini-vacation that was close to home and from the looks of the ad the Newport Aquarium...
