We had a few hours to waste before our flight out of Greater Cincinnati airprot; so, we decided to try the Aquarium
First, there were 3 people working the front area; but, only one person manning the cash register. She was filling out an application for a year pass for someone. Meanwhile, the line was 10 deep. No one else seemed to know how to work the other registers to take our money! Half of the displays were empty (dead fish?), 2 were totally closed down for repair (this was not told to us at time of purchasing the tickets). Some displays also had no explanation of what you were supposed to be looking at.. The worst part? We spoke with a manager about the issues and she basically told us "too bad". She also admitted it might be a good idea to put a sign up regarding closed displays! I feel sorry for families who pay a hefty admission price for this dump! Newport may have cleaned up their red light district; but, they are still scamming people! Don't waste your money...
Pros: nearby attractions
Cons: value, no displays
