      Guest Appreciation - Feb 2018 [T]hank you for spending your time with us on our trip. It was amazing looking at all the different aquatic animals and really neat to learn some facts about them. I had never been to the Newport Aqaurium before, and your tour made the experience complete. Along with seeing such wonderful creatures, I also learned about their habitat, their food source, and what people are doing to help re-introduce them back into their wild habitat. Again, I thank you for your time.… Show more [T]hank you for spending your time with us on our trip.
