Newport Kentucky Aquarium

I spent part of today in the aquarium in Newport, Kentucky, just across the river from Cincinnati, Ohio. I took a ton of photos and most of them turned out terrible. Shooting through the glass and water gave me so many problems. These are among the very few that turned out at least a little in focus.
The Aquarium is part of Newport on the Levee

Front of the Aquarium,


It's an Aquarium but they still have some snakes and frogs and such.


Jellyfish, very cool to look at but so hard to photograph, without the flash they were so dark, but with the flash the colors tended to go away.



A very cool part of the Aquarium were the glass tunnels that went through the tanks instead of just looking in from the outside.




A huge octopus which was in a very dark tank, this photo was handheld and was as sharp as I could get it without a flash.





Perhaps the ugliest turtle I've ever seen.



The Jellyfish room.





The fish eye view of what the tunnels look like.
