They enjoyed seeing all of the animals and creatures throughout the aquarium.

Newport aquarium was a great place to visit with my two kids, ages 7 and 4. This V-shaped rope bridge is 75-feet long and is suspended over the open water of the 385,000 gallon Surrounded by Sharks exhibit. I would not recommend this place if you have kids with special needs as they turn them away due to their disability because some kids cannot wear masks I say us parents with children with special. Will you dare to cross Eric Rose, executive director of Newport Aquarium says, For our thrill-seeking guests who dare to cross, Shark Bridge is a breathtaking way to experience sharks like never. We decided to drive 2 hours as a family to see this aquarium. The 75-foot-long rope bridge, constructed of more than 4 miles of rope, is suspended over the Surrounded by Sharks exhibit’s 385,000-gallon tank. Visitors who cross the bridge will walk over sharks, shark rays, stingrays and hundreds of fish. After trying to get leave for over a year she made it home. The 75-foot-long, V-shaped bridge goes over the exhibit's 385,000-gallon tank. My kids, ages 11, 6 and 1.5 all had a blast! My mom and I enjoyed ourselves as well. It turns out the Newport Aquarium’s penguins eat more than most of the sharks. Everyone wore masks and there were plenty of staff members around to remind. Newport Aquarium Claim: Sharks feed ravenously and eat more than any other animal in the aquarium.

The Newport Aquarium is family time well spent!įor more information, visit the Newport Aquarium website.I was impressed with how well they stuck to the timed reservations, tried to keep family units separate and limited guests. My kiddos and I spent a few hours checking out the animals including stingrays, sharks, alligators, jellyfish, turtles, and fish with my mom. General admission is reasonable for such an amazing aquatic facility. If you ever find yourself in Cincinnati, Ohio or Newport, Kentucky with kids, I highly recommend spending a couple of hours at the Newport Aquarium. The aquarium is also home to the jellyfish gallery, which is the largest in the Midwest. Each exhibit features aquatic creations from specific locations around the world. Other fun exhibits at the Newport Aquarium include the Rain Forest, Gator Alley, Amazon, Shark Central, Kroger Penguin Palooza, Frog Bog, Dangerous and Deadly, Bizarre and Beautiful, and Coral Reef. My kids also loved watching the aquatic creatures swimming over and around us.

While I loved experiencing the stingray and shark exhibits, I also loved walking through the five seamless acrylic tunnels totaling over 200 feet in length. My daughter wanted to cross the bridge multiple times! My son was apprehensive at first but managed to make his way across with a little help from his mama. The V-shaped rope bridge is 75-feet long and is suspended over the open water of the tank. The tank is home to over a dozen sharks, four exotic shark rays, three stingrays, more than 300 fish, and Denver the loggerhead sea turtle. Featuring a rope bridge, the Shark Tank Overlook allows aquarium visitors to walk across one of the largest open air tank displays in the country. In addition to the Stingray Hideaway, my daughter was most excited for the Shark Tank Overlook.
