Oregon Coast Aquarium Gains National Recognition Again
The Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon is a must visit when on the Oregon coast. It's one of those spots that it's impossible to be disappointed with and that you'll want to return to again and again. It was just last year that we wrote about the Oregon Coast Aquarium getting a spotlight by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 15 Aquariums in the U.S. Eight months later we're here to report that our beloved state aquarium has caught the attention of Newsweek.
Recently Newsweek released a list of reader's choice nominations for the best aquariums in the United States, and it's no surprise that the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport made the list.
This time around, the Oregon Coast Aquarium is joined on the nomination list by top rated and well known aquariums like the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, and the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland.
With events like Sleep With The Sharks, where you can stay the night in the shark tunnel at the aquarium, the Jellyfish Encounter, and gorgeous exhibits featuring octopi, otters, fish, sharks and seabirds, we really think our aquarium deserves to be on the list.
You have until April 11th, 2024 at 9 AM to cast your vote, and can return daily to cast your vote again. You can cast your vote here. Be sure to let your friends and family know to vote for the Oregon Coast Aquarium as well!
