    I just went there yesturday with the wife for her B-day.. Some of the fresh water local fish tanks was neat to see what all fish are in our waters.. Then once it hit salt water Like posted above no live coral but in one tank that i noticed and was in a Clown fish display with 2 nems way at the top of the tank..

    The main tank that every one was raving about was dark and murky.. i understand there are just getting going and the whole "go slow let it grow" is fine and stand by it but.. The main tank was DARK... MURKY... Along with a smaller shark tank that civiccars2003 posted pic's of its still the same...

    Maybe in time they will get the water cleared up..

    But as of now not to impressed...

    My wife and I were looking at going but they are not allowing strollers right now. There is no way that I could carry my son around all day and if it is packed he would get lost running around. Hopefully they will lift that restriction and we can go. When they do it would be great to meet some local 3reefers.

    Hey Dustin

    And say what??!! We were going this coming weekend for my bday present,but i've got a 2 year old and he's a big gun,theres absolutely no way I could carry him either.What a big bummer,wonder why such a strange restriction? This is going to put a serious crimp in my weekend plans.I think i'm going to call them to find out what this is about!

    But thank you for the heads up bud,you may have just saved me from a 7 hour round trip and a night in a hotel.

    There is another down below Cinci just across the boarder into Kentucy,so mabey we'll just head south/west instead.K+ man!

    I would recommend the newport aquarium over the cleveland aquarium. I was underwhelmed by the cleveland aquarium.

    Strollers are aloud now, the issue is upon opening, the were so packed, they wouldn't allow them. I agree new port is better. Last I heard the shark tank was still cloudy.

    I'd still go check it out tho. It is pretty cool.

    No,don't be sorry at all,i'm glad I found out now,instead of this weekend.That would have been so disappointing to go that far for nothing.I also know Aaron and i'll trust his reveiw on it as well.

    My wifes best friend is a higher up at a large hotel chain,so getting a killer deal on a room isn't a problem for us,so i'm checking out the Newport one now.I have an Aunt and Uncle that went there a couple years ago and was utterly amazed with it.

    So,no,thank you for saving my bday plans!

    Anyone been here lately? Last trip I took, it was only open for three days, all the tanks were new and very cloudy. I understand why, but my friends and family didn't and were kind of disappointed. I'd hope with a few months running the tanks look much better.

    I am thinking of making group trip with family and friends (includes 3reef).
