Newport Aquarium showcases thousands of animals from around the world in a million gallons of water, including the enormously popular "Sweet Pea" and "Scooter," the stars of the only shark ray breeding program in the world.
This state-of-the-art facility was named the No. 1 aquarium in the Midwest in the Zagat Survey’s U.S. Family Travel Guide in 2004 and the Best Rainy Day Outing in 2006 in Cincinnati Family Magazine.
Like its sister aquarium, Adventure Aquarium, on the Camden Waterfront, Camden, NJ, Newport Aquarium is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), a leader in global wildlife conservation. ​

It is a privately funded facility committed to community involvement. The WAVE Foundation, the independent, not-for-profit educational arm of the Newport Aquarium, was created to further the Aquarium’s efforts to educate the community about marine life and the conservation of natural resources and habitats. ​

The Aquarium is open to the public 365 days a year and is located only two minutes from downtown Cincinnati at Newport on the Levee. For more information, visit www.newportaquarium.com or call 859-261-7444. ​
