My boys and I got to go on a behind the scenes tour at the Newport Aquarium to take in a new perspective.
We are very fortunate to have an aquarium in our city that has bragging rights.
Newport Aquarium was voted the No. 1 aquarium in the country by USA Today’s 10Best.com. Newport Aquarium was named a top U.S. aquarium by Travel Channel in 2013 and by US City Traveler in 2014.
During our tour, we got the perspective of what the aquarium tanks look like from above. We learned about the Shark Rays and other marine life that live at the aquarium.
Our tour guides were so great that our kids kept on asking a ton of questions.
We got to see what types of foods that the animals at the aquarium eat. They eat better than most humans! Top Shelf quality!
Newport Aquarium has a camp for kids that will give them opportunities to learn all summer long.
Camp WAVE, returns this year beginning on Monday, June 16th with “Partying with Penguins”.
Our summer camp this year offers 6 different weeks with these incredible themes: Partying with Penguins, Scales and Tails, Shark WEEK, Sports of All Sorts, and Animal Planet.
