Newport Aquarium Penguin Encounter

The Penguin Encounter was our main draw to the Newport Aquarium for this trip, as we've been wanting to do this for some time. For annual passholders, it is only $20 per person and it is definitely worth doing it at least once. They have you sit on the benches and then they let the penguins come in and you get to watch them up close and then touch them. Quite a bit of fun and you really get to see each of their personalities as they play with each other.
