Home to thousands of aquatic animals in scores of exhibits, the Newport Aquarium will amaze you with all there is to see and do. You can touch a penguin, pet a shark, hear divers talk to the audience during feeding time, play games in Frog Bog, eat lunch in Sharkey's Cafe and a much, much more!

All areas of this aquarium are very well done. Our ticket time was 9 am and we had reservations for the penguin experience at noon so we had plenty of time to explore. We really took our time and enjoyed the exhibits. It was nice being able to get in early before the crowds got heavier. I highly recommend doing the penguin experience. It was informative and fun to see/interact with the penguins in a small group. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The aquarium had some new projects underway, I am anxious to return soon.

When we visit the Newport Aquarium, we also enjoy walking around the mall and along the Ohio River. On warmer days, several restaurants have outdoor seating with beautiful views of the Cincinnati skyline and different boats on the river. We have enjoyed our meals at Brothers Bar Grill and Mitchell's.
