Excellent exhibits on Pacific Coast. The underwater tunnel with fish all around you was spectacular. Plan on spending two plus hours here.

We love visiting the aquarium. Otters, seals birds and of course, fish! The tunnels are always the best. Staff is helpful. Don't want to eat in the cute cafe? You can hop over to Rogue. We got to visit for a wedding this time. Stunning!!

We had a great time here with friends, watching the antics of the sea otters, seals and sea birds. It was clean and well ordered, and the staff of volunteers were friendly and knowledgeable. Good place to take the family.

I think I was mentally prepared for limited displays, but I was shocked by the cost of entry. Later in the day we saw many sea lions at Newport's Historic Bayfront and enjoyed that more.

This was a disappointment! It's more circus than aquarium, having seen the Aquarium in Monterey a couple of years ago, we expected this to be comparable. It isn't! Quality is low, and if you are interested in biology - go elsewhere.

I'd been wanting to bring my children to visit the aquarium for quite sometime but could never stomach the huge price tag. We finally ended up visiting on my daughters birthday (free admission for her) and then found another coupon to use for my son....More

Hi Areli G,
As most have mentioned, much of our facility is located indoors. We do have our large marine mammals, sea otters, turkey vultures and sea bird aviary located outdoors. We can assist with umbrellas as well as... More
