Coupon/Discount for Newport Aquarium near Cincinnati, OH

[tllgreene]

I was wondering if anyone had any coupons/discount tickets for the Newport Aquarium in Newport, KY... which is near Cincinnati. I live in IN and my in-laws would like to take my daughter. Was there a coupon in the Entertainment Book that someone isn't going to use? Any help would be great!
Thanks :)

I'm not sure if they still do it, but you used to be able to get $2 off adults and $1 off kids admissions with your Kroger Plus card. I can't find it on their website (which drives me nuts!), but you can call the number on the back of your card and check with someone.

I know that $2 isn't much, but it's something. My son took his family of 4 there in June, and it cost almost $80 for the 4 of them to get in!

Yea, it's expensive (like $19. for each adult, or something horrible like that). We (me, dh, dd, dd, and fil) went a couple of years ago. Kids are/were teenagers. I was not impressed. There weren't a lot of different kinds of fish and it only took maybe an hour to go through, and that was going slooow. Now, for little kids it may be fun, but I'd rather go back to the Louisville Zoo than the Aquarium. Oh, I guess I did enjoy the tide pool where we could touch the small sharks and a couple of other things. I hope they enjoy it, though!

Elhana...my son and his SO, and the two kids (9 and 5) went last month. He said it took about 2 hours total, and that's mostly because they spent 30 mins in the gift shop (which is conveniently located so that you have to walk through it to get out of the building!). They went to the Cincy zoo the next day and had to go back a second day to see everything there...and it cost 1/2 what it did to get into the aquarium.

I will admit...he brought home some awesome pics from both places!

One thing my cousin found out AFTER he and his wife went was that you can buy a season pass for less than the price of 2 visits! So if you plan on going more than 2 days just buy a season pass for the most savings.

Kroeger still does their 2 off adults and 1 off kids with the plus card....i went to the newport aquarium site and messed around with some coupon codes. The one codes various sites gave me didn't work but I just randomly tried family and it worked for 3 dollars off kids AND adults tickets. Even with that though my family of 3 cost $58...ewww
