Art That Surrounds You
His precision with a paintbrush is matched only by his eye for light, color and pure captivation. He's Eric Henn, a Franklin, Ohio, native whose artistry will surround you with 17 wall-blanketing murals. He'll carry you to the dark, humid Southern Bayou... to the frightening ocean's depths where giant squid and great whites roam...to the colorful tranquility of the coral reef.
Each mural is so intricate and lavish, they'll invite you to step inside.
An Arctic scene, stretching 120 feet long and 22 feet high, beckons you to join nearly 100 playful seals balancing on icebergs. Notice the two polar bears, so life-like you can see each hair in their wintry coats and their warm breath as it hits the arctic air.
A 25-foot long Plesiosaur with sharp-toothed mouth open wide, sends a shiver right through you as it harks back to the days of dinosaurs.
The colorful Coral Reef scene surrounds you with the beauty of the deep as you enter the Aquarium. This is our longest mural, measuring 98 feet long.
One of the Nation's Largest Open-Air Shark Viewing Exhibits
Five of the World's Only Seamless Underwater Tunnels
Seamless Acrylic TunnelsSee-Through Floors
Step lively 'cause sharks are swimming and 'gators slinking under foot! We've added three sections of acrylic flooring that give you one of the most unexpected views in the country. In 'Gator Bayou, a wooden footbridge that crosses a reptilian swamp, is fitted with two large see-through sections, so that, without notice, you're looking down into the beady eyes of ferocious man-eaters. You'll step onto a third piece of acrylic in Surrounded by Sharks, where swarming predators will be on all sides, overhead and, suddenly, underneath you. Unsettling? You bet ya.

This is much better than the old aquariums that you look at row upon row of tanks of fish. By walking through tunnels of glass under water, you can really see the sharks and other fish up close.
One tip, if you take pictures, I had problems with my flash reflecting off the glass. Some of the exhibits discourage the use of a flash camera. I suspect shooting pictures at an angle would cut down on the reflection; better yet using high speed film or a digital camera might avoid the need for a flash altogether. Leave a Comment Directions: The address is One Aquarium Way, Newport, KY, 41071. Newport is one of three small cities in Northern, Kentucky on the opposite side of the Ohio River.

Newport on the Levee has everything you'd need to keep you busy for days (aquarium, movie theatre, great food, great bars, within walking distance of Bengals and Reds games).
