The Newport Aquarium is a good location for families to visit. It takes about two hours to tour the whole facility. They offer touching areas that are educational and fun. The staff offers assistance with the animals and helps the children learn about them and become comfortable with them. The shark tunnels are always looked forward to by my children as well as the penguin display at the end of the tour. The Aquarium is located at Newport on the Levee which also offers many dining, shopping and entertainment opportunities.
