Quote: This used to be the home of Keiko the Whale, so a lot of interest has been aimed at the aquarium. They feature three exhibits at a time and new ones are being added. There's an underwater passage with sharks and all kinds of undersea creatures... Read the full Oregon Coast Aquarium review

  • April 4, 2003
Quote: The Newport aquarium has been noted as one of the top aquariums in the U.S. and I would probably agree, even though the only other aquarium I have been to is the Seattle aquarium.
