Overnight Adventures are temporarily paused with no return date set as of today. Please check back for future availability.

More awe-inspiring than sleeping under the stars, Newport Aquarium's Private Overnight Adventure Programs allow your group of 20 or more* to spend the night with the most exotic and interesting creatures.

Your group will explore hidden treasures of the Aquarium and visit with unique animals from around the world before camping out among amazing sea life.

Schools, scouts, recreation programs, churches, youth groups, families and aquarium members are invited to bring their sleeping bags and pajamas along with their curiosity and sense of adventure for a Newport Aquarium Overnight Adventure Program.
