Beachfront Exploration
Whether you're a local or a tourist, the Save The Bay Exploration Center and Aquarium in Newport is the perfect family destination. Kids get face-to-fin with lobsters, crabs, moon jellies, sea cucumbers and some funky looking fish! With Newport's only ocean beach just outside our front door, you can continue the beachcombing experience afterwards or just enjoy a walk in the surf. View our specials!

Starting Saturday, May 26, 2012, we will be open daily from 10:00am-4:00pm through Labor day Weekend! We are also open daily during school vacation weeks: February 18-26 and April 14-22.
