I would be okay with a trip to the Newport Aquarium if we can get discounted tickets

To get a group discount rate I would need to purchase a minimum of 10 tickets. If club members are interested, please post here and the the number of tickets needed. Ticket are good for non-club members as well.

I'd be interested, especially if we can work out the behind the scenes tour!

Most likely just 1 ticket for me, but if we need bodies, I can lock down a +1!

They have the Backstage Animal Experience (group of 15+) and other educational packages. The pricing for the tickets are in addition to the Aquarium entrance ticket.  Parking is reasonable and near the Aquarium. There are also numerous places in the immediate area to eat. We still need a few more people to get the group rate. I will keep track of the numbers. Some of the club members did this trip in 2016 and I think everyone had an enjoyable time.

i live 15 minutes from newport via the interstate, is 4 hours there not enough?

I have taken my time before and only been there an hour and a half.

Id be happy to adjust the time to earlier, but not much earlier.

On the 24th of February Newport Aquarium has extended hours 9AM-7PM. According to Google the average visit is 2.5 hours, obviously we not average! :-) Tickets are $20.13 per person and parking varies $2-8 (Levee) depending on other activities in Cincinnati. I have made 2 separate signup post: "Newport Aquarium 24 February 2018" and  "Club meeting at "erik" 12-1:30 24 Feb 2018". Please sign up there for the events!
Thanks,
