I guess after visiting a Ripley's aquarium, that it's hard to compare. But I was very disappointed in the Newport Aquarium. The water in a lot of the tanks was cloudy and dirty looking, the glasses to look through in lots of areas were small and with a crowd of adults around my three year old couldn't even see! The...

My boyfriend and I very much enjoyed our outing to this aquarium. Facinating, beautiful setup. Love the Ray sharks, and the garden eel. To bad no dolphins though :( ( I love dolphins) Staff was friendly, helpful and informative. Newport area is very neat! Love the atmosphere outside the Aquarium as well.

We found this aquarium to be nice but the aquarium in Chattanooga was better. Food is VERY expensive so eat before you go. Good experience.

The aquarium includes a tide pool touch experience which lets you touch starfish and sea urchins, there is also is a pet-a-shark exhibit, which allows you to feel the sharks swim under your hand. There are alligator, penguin, and jellyfish exhibits, along with a theater... More

Visited on our vacation this week. Wasn't too crowded and the staff was very knowledgable about the animals. Shark feeding is a must. Older gentleman presenting shark show was a hoot!! Would love to do a behind the scenes tour here next time. Highly recommend!!

Purchased online with ride the duck tickets as combo which allows you to skip the long line out front. This is a small venue. Seems the gift shop is 1/2 the size of the actual aquarium. Don't miss the otters!

what a beautiful place to visit! really enjoyed all the sights. Wish we hadn't missed the show. love all the different kinds of jelly fish.

Advice - walk slow, it's not a huge facility so if you walk fast then you wont get your money's worth. You can powerwalk through 25$ in 25 minutes, but if you take your time plan on spending around an hour - an hour & half viewing the property. Kids will enjoy it anyway, but if your an adult then...
