Penguin Encounters at the Newport Aquarium

This new 20-minute experience allows guests to see three Blackfooted penguins up-close and personal. Led by an experienced biologist, a typical visit may include a chance to touch the penguins, see them waddle, swim, shake their tails and jump into and out of their Penguin pool. Plus, photos are permitted to capture the memory forever. These South African birds live in a temperate environment in the behind-the-scenes Penguin House, so no coats are needed.

Cost: $20, all ages
(Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult)
Times: 11 a.m., 11:45 a.m, 2 p.m., 2:45 p.m., 4 p.m. Daily

Tours are limited. Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. You can purchase these experiences at the Newport Aquarium ticket window or by calling (859) 261-7444 anytime prior to the day of your visit.

I did that JUST so I could touch a penguin but it wasn't really worth 20 bucks to listen to someone tell me things I already knew.
