NEW! Aquarium After Dark 21+

This exclusive Aquarium After Dark 21+ event is a great time to visit with your favorite group of friends or to plan a unique and memorable date night with someone special.

Your Aquarium After Dark 21+ adventure begins after public operating hours and daytime visitors have left for the day. You and your guests are free to explore the Aquarium while enjoying a variety of food stations, complimentary Iced Tea & Water and a cash bar, playing games and visiting all your favorite animal friends.

About halfway through your evening, you’ll get to experience sunset under the sea when the lights fade away as the sun falls below the horizon and the moon fills the sky. You’ll receive a neon glowstick to light your after dark scavenger hunt and self-guided twilight tour through the Aquarium.

Plus, enjoy a unique opportunity to get up-close with some of our animal ambassadors where you will have the chance to touch a reptile, take photos, ask questions and learn all about their species!

Tickets are $59.99 per person and include after-hours admission to Newport Aquarium beginning promptly at 7:30pm and ending at 11:00pm. Food stations, self-guided twilight tour, scavenger hunt, games and more are also included with admission. Newport Aquarium Members receive a special discount.
