On the Newport waterfront overlooking Cincinnati, exciting animal encounters await you and your family. The 67-year-old mermaid act from Weeki Wachee, Florida, first visited Newport Aquarium in October for a 10-day engagement. Visit Newport Aquarium and discover the wonder of the aquatic world and its amazing creatures. Let that sink in for just a second, it is a bridge that is just inches above the tank where the shark tank sits. The aquarium will also bring back Weeki Wachee Mermaids in October. The Shark Bridge is a suspended over nearly 2 dozen sharks. Canyon Falls will also house the aquarium's 100-year-old snapping turtle, Thunder. It will also include two new lizard species – the yellow monitor from Indonesia and the panther chameleon from Madagascar. Canyon Falls will house Asian small-clawed otters, which the aquarium previously exhibited from 2004-2013. Other attractions coming to the aquarium this year, Rose said, include an otter-heavy "Canyon Falls," which in March will replace the Galapagos tortoise-centric "Turtle Canyon" exhibit. There are a couple of tubes that you wlak under and see the sea life swim around and on top of you. They have a couple of large albino alligators that are pretty cool. It is a completely new way to experience and interact with sharks, and in fact, there is no experience like this in the world." There are many highlights at Newport, the shark bridge is unique where you get to walk across the large tank where sharks swim below you on a rope bridge. "It's going to require a bit of bravery to come across. the giant shark tank and the aquariums four rare Shark Rays - Sweet Pea. "This is a great addition to the Newport Aquarium," Rose said. In March 2022, the Newport Aquarium debuted their all-new Coral Reef Tunnel. The 17 sharks in Newport Aquarium's tank circled Rose on Wednesday as he stood in a wet suit on a rock in the middle of the shark tank. "It will give people an opportunity to get close to them, and hopefully give people an opportunity to have more appreciation for wildlife and make changes in their lives."Īmong the environmentally friendly practices Pierson said he hopes aquarium visitors will consider are recycling and downloading apps that tell you if fish served at seafood restaurants comes from sustainable sources.
