The Newport Aquarium operates as a public aquarium in Newport, Kentucky, presenting thousands of animals from around the world in a facility that houses a million gallons of water. Since its opening in 1999, it has grown into a notable regional attraction and is part of Herschend Family Entertainment; it is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The venue sits across the Ohio River from downtown Cincinnati at Newport on the Levee and is open year-round. Its offerings target regional visitors seeking engaging experiences and exposure to marine life, featuring exhibits with sharks, penguins, and other species, along with distinctive attractions such as a Shark Bridge and a Shark Ray Breeding Program. It has one of the world’s largest and most diverse penguin exhibits and maintains a large, varied collection of sharks in the Midwest. In July 2025, Newport Aquarium announced a partnership with Kentucky Kingdom to provide guests with enhanced value.
