Fabulous
Newport Aquarium的点评
点评：Both amazing and frustrating but overall: amazing.
Here's what was amazing:
1) The exhibits overall. Especially the tunnels - I could have spent all day in the tunnels looking at the fish overhead (which felt like they were suspended above us) and around us.
2) The penguin experience. Just pay for it; worth it!
3) The penguins in their exhibit. So crazy fun to watch!!!
4) Did I mention the exhibits? When we travel we see aquariums (we're fish people) and this one is #1 so far. Tops the one in Norfolk, VA by just a bit (that one is also fabulous but this one had some additional things that put it over the top).
5) You can pet sharks. S.h.a.r.k.s. Amazing!
Tips:
1) If you don't like little kids (and in all honesty, small humans under 5yo drive us crazy) maybe don't go on a weekend. We arrived at 10am on a Sunday and I'm not kidding you when I say the first 30 minutes of our visit were sheer frustration because there were on average 2-3 kids under 4 for every single adult around us (some had 1; some had 5).
Until the frog exhibit (which has a kid playground so people stopped and let their littles burn off energy, at which point it thinned out a lot), we fought for space in front of the exhibit because littles were running, screaming, jumping, and crying in strollers around us.
Kids will kid. Crabby old people will crab (us). It is what it is.
We noticed that by noon it was quieter so if you're stuck being in town on a weekend, just go after noon to avoid the chaos.
2) The website didn't let us book the penguin encounter along with our behind-the-scenes tour, so when they opened at 9 I called over and they said the 12pm was wide open (?) so we booked over the phone. Don't trust the website if it's not available - call. They're so friendly.
3) Coffee at the cafe is $5 a cup and we dumped it the second we got it. Ish: 80% grounds.
4) Contrary to what you will read online, there is no coat check in the lobby. Know this. We would have left our coats in the car if we had known.
5) Parking was tough for us to find. It's off the traffic circle. It's safe and moderately priced ($12/6 hours). The kiosks want cash - bring cash (and ones!).
6) The behind the scenes tour is fun. Definitely not for anyone under 4th grade though. We had a 2nd or 3rd grader in our tour and while quiet and good, she was pretty bored at times.
7) Crawl through that tunnel in the big room after the white alligator. Stand up in the middle.

翻译：既令人惊叹又令人沮丧，但总体而言：令人惊叹。
以下是令人惊叹之处：
1）整体展览。尤其是隧道 - 我可以花一整天时间在隧道里看头顶上的鱼（感觉它们悬浮在我们上方）和我们周围的鱼。
2）企鹅体验。只需付费即可；值得！
3）企鹅在展览中。观看非常有趣！！！
4）我提到展览了吗？我们旅行时会看水族馆（我们是鱼人），这个是目前为止排名第一的。略胜弗吉尼亚州诺福克的水族馆（那个水族馆也很棒，但这个水族馆有一些额外的东西让它更胜一筹）。
5）你可以抚摸鲨鱼。鲨鱼太神奇了！
提示：
1）如果你不喜欢小孩（老实说，5岁以下的小孩会让我们抓狂），也许不要在周末去。我们是周日上午 10 点到达的，我说我们参观的前 30 分钟非常令人沮丧，因为平均每个成年人身边有 2-3 个 4 岁以下的孩子（有些有 1 个；有些有 5 个）。
直到青蛙展览（有一个儿童游乐场，所以人们会停下来让他们的小孩消耗能量，这时人数就少了很多），我们在展览前争夺空间，因为小孩子在我们周围的婴儿车里跑来跑去、尖叫、跳跃和哭泣。
孩子们会开玩笑。脾气暴躁的老人会发脾气（我们）。就是这样。
我们注意到中午的时候比较安静，所以如果你周末被困在城里，那就在中午之后去避开混乱。
2) 网站不允许我们预订与企鹅邂逅以及幕后之旅，所以当他们 9 点开门时，我打电话过去，他们说 12 点是空的（？），所以我们通过电话预订了。如果网站没有空位，不要相信 - 打电话。他们很友好。
3) 咖啡馆的咖啡是 5 美元一杯，我们一拿到就倒掉了。Ish：80% 是咖啡渣。
4) 与您在网上看到的相反，大厅里没有衣帽寄存处。要知道这一点。如果我们知道的话，我们会把外套留在车里。
5) 我们很难找到停车位。它不在交通环岛边上。它很安全，价格适中（12 美元/6 小时）。售货亭需要现金 - 带上现金（和一元现金！）。
6) 幕后之旅很有趣。但绝对不适合 4 年级以下的任何人。我们旅行团里有一个二年级或三年级的学生，虽然她很安静，但有时很无聊。
7) 爬过大房间里的那条隧道，追赶白色鳄鱼。站在中间。
