  • I love the Aquarium
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/05/09
    My fiance and i love the Newport Aquarium. People are being too critical of the place. you can spend more than 20 dollars at a movie theater. But its not missing whales because it is an aquarium, not Sea World. The people are nice, the price is good, the food is great.

  • Alright but Overrated!
    By Bush, 02/23/09
    This aquarium is missing something! How about some whales and dolphins. This place does not measure up to the hype! I am guessing none on these people have ever been to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago! Go ahead and visit this place, the only good thing is the Shark Experience! It cost 20 dollars! Go waste your money and be moderately entertained!

  • It's in Newport, Kentucky
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/17/07
    It's a great aquarium, probably the best in the U.S. that's not in a seacoast city -- but it is in Newport, Kentucky, which is across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.

    Location is great -- about halfway between Kings Island theme park, which is a few miles northeast of Cincinnati just off I-71, and the unique Kentucky Horse Park, which is a few miles south of Newport just off 1-75.

  • Newport Aquarium
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/27/06
    I just visited the aquarium, this Saturday. February 25, 2006 to be exact.

    I love going here, but the place was packed! It was elbow to elbow people! But I guess going early on a Saturday, that's to be expected.

    The overall experience was wonderful! I got to see two of their newes exhibits/animals. The new baby penguins, which were ...

  • Good Aquarium
    By pricebillie, 02/14/06
    It was a fun stop, but not that different than any other aquarium. At 17.95 I felt it was way overpriced. Especially when the zoo was only 12.95.

  • tourist
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/06/04
    The aquarium itself is wonderful but the traffic flow pattern is terrible. It is essentially a "one way" flow. The dining hall is at the far end. If you want to eat and you are near the entrance, you have to backtrack to where you were to "restart" your tour. They restrict the museum to no strollers on crowded days.
