They had a buy 3 get one free promotion on annual passes for the holidays so it really was worthwhile for our family of 4. The annual pass gets you additional discounts on the property and other attractions as well. So we opted to buy a year membership pass so we can return whenever we wish. The aquarium is nice, clean, and staff were friendly but the price is high for a one-time visit. We opted to walk from our hotel- Hampton Inn (highly recommended) which had quick walking access to The aquarium. It was nice because it's not far for Ohioans. We took our 10 year old and 2 year old daughters during Winter break. Overall we spent several hours there and enjoyed our time! Can’t wait to plan our return trip, since we’re now annual pass holders! There is a play place near the middle for kids to blow off some steam. Not a lot of eating options so plan ahead.

The shark ray and penguin viewing windows were also a hit! Recommended for families with young children but keep in mind there are some areas that get really crowded so strollers are not really convenient we didn’t bring ours. The sharks are really cool and plentiful in the larger tanks. All the tunnels where you could walk through and see fish, rays, sharks, and turtles were our favorite. I was disappointed they didn't have lockers so we had to carry our jackets around the whole time.
We did not pay extra for "behind the scenes" interactions, but didn’t feel it was necessary to have a great experience. Wish there were a few more/bigger sharks but this place is definitely worth a 5/5 It’s not as exciting as it sounds but kind of cool to say you crossed over a shark tank on a rope bridge. Close out your visit by crossing the shark bridge. The highlight has to be the stingray tank where you can feed them! It’s only once a day (happened to be 11:30 for us) and you can buy little cups of fish to hold out & they’ll come suck them out of your hand ($5 totally worth it). Plenty of fun little photo opportunities built into some of the tanks where you can pop your head in & see the fish from inside the tank basically. There’s a nice directional flow through the aquarium and the exhibits are all well done.

Turns out, this was the highlight of the trip for our entire group of 10! It’s not a full day like the zoo, but we spent 3ish hours and everyone from ages 2, 5, 13, mid 30s & upper 50s loved it. Not going to lie, we decided to come to the area primarily to do the Cincinnati Zoo & this was just a bonus Destin.
We are from Indianapolis so we opted out of the annual pass, but if we lived closer it would have been well worth the price to get the annual pass! Overall an experience our toddler will be talking about for days I'm sure! Our favorites were the shark feeding right when you get in, the many tunnels to walk through, and the sting ray exhibit! There seemed to be only one exhibit closed for renovation right now. The museum flows through exhibits well and took us about 3 hours to go through with a snack stop at the cafeteria and a walk through the gift shop. They do have a cafeteria and several lunch options outside the museum nearby. We did an entrance time of 10am on a Friday and it was still pretty busy, if you can get away without taking a stroller I would recommend leaving it at home. We took our two year old this week for a day trip and had a great time! Parking at Newport on the Levee was very reasonable at $5 for the day, make sure you take your ticket with you when you go inside.
