If you want to take your kids to see live sea animals and you wouldn't mind paying lots of money in doing so, look no place further than the Newport Aquarium. Not only do they have the staple attractions, but they are also known for their special attractions (more recently than not, there was a shark attraction). The two biggest problems with this place are the prices (outrageous) and the Christmas attraction (it was horrible). I swear they must have to pay the animals as much as they want to charge the general public.
