Over 50 colorful species will be swimming throughout the 60,000-gallon tank that makes up the new tunnel. Guests can walk through for 360-degree views and see inhabitants of the coral reef, including some baby angelfish, different pufferfish species and even a mystic-looking Bluespine unicornfish (so named for the horn-like protrusion on its forehead).
“We’re always proud to bring something new and improved to the region,” said Newport Aquarium’s executive director Rebecca Foster in a release. “This is the spectacular coral reef that Cincy deserves and it’s also a great chance for us to educate the community about the importance and plight of coral reefs in the wild.”

It’s no wonder Newport Aquarium makes the list: Much of the aquarium makes you feel like you’re under the sea, living out all your The Little Mermaid fantasies. And as you walk through the glowing aquamarine tunnels, you’ll spy thousands of beautiful fish, sharks and other marine wildlife. The aquarium is also home to adorable penguins, which are always fun to snap a picture of. Photo: Casey RobertsNewport Aquarium
