During the special Summer Family Hours, two kids (ages 12 and under) get in FREE with every adult paying full price from 4 to 7 p.m., Sunday through Friday. There are no coupons to clip or codes to remember. Just buy tickets at the Aquarium ticket windows during those times to take advantage of the great deal, May 31 through Sept. 3. Note: Strollers are welcome during Summer Family Hours.

Better still: all kids will receive a coupon for a FREE Kid’s Meal for use at participating Bob Evans restaurants.

And there’s plenty to see and do this summer at Newport Aquarium. The Bizarre and Beautiful Gallery is back and weirder than ever. With new technology, new display cases and new animals available, biologists at Newport Aquarium completely reconstructed and expanded the gallery. It's filled with over 20 species of the world's most weird and wonderful aquatic animals, including a giant Pacific octopus, sea horses, spider crabs, frogfish and yellow boxfish, among many other species.

Don’t forget: Newport Aquarium also celebrates summer by opening earlier and closing later than usual:
