Reviews of Newport on the Levee
Steve Foss
I have to say it's been a bit since we have been here but I love the changes.
The buildings look great with the paint job and the addition of bars and breweries in that little park area is nice. The big screen outside is great for watching events.
Nate Vergara
Great area to take the whole family! Perfect view of Cincinnati looking north and an excellent aquarium on site. The grilled cheese restaurant is a must for cheese lovers and the sweets shop is a go to for people of all ages! Nice place to take the whole family on a mini vacation, or a great place to take your sanificant other on a night out. Movie theater and upscale restaurants on site make for a perfect setting. Parking garage and public restrooms are both clean and secure. A must see if in the area!
Lori Clouse
We loved this place. So much to see for all ages, from young to old. The shark tunnel walk through and rope bridge is our family's favorite. Get tickets ahead online as you are assigned a specific time. You can't get in early and you may wait hours-outside-before getting in. If it's cold or stormy that day, plan accordingly as you will be standing outside from 30-60 minutes.
jakuvded
New port, new buildings, new restaurants… and so much more. Aquarium, movies, waterfront and restaurants plus an outdoor screen for your favorite game or show. This place is a must visit. Love what they did here.
Easy DIYs
It was a great mall but there's not enough stores available to shop. It's in a great location by the river and had a river bridge and next to the Newport Aquarium. They even had valet parking.
Charles Martin
We visited the Newport Aquarium on a Sunday and the crowd wasn't too bad at all. The place is really cool for children up to high school age probably. There are definitely a lot of different types of fish there to look at know doubt. From sea horses to manta rays to octopuses to sharks to alligators. They have just about everything you can think of. Admission is fairly reasonable, but everything else is ridiculously priced. From $4 bottle sodas to $15 trinket Keychains to $7.50 taco . So the moral to this story is to simply eat before you go and have an some time folks. Enjoy 😉
Amanda Rinckel
Very clean atmosphere . I love that the levee supports small businesses . I’m an artist and small business owner . I was glad I came . They definitely support art and have a ton of original pieces up for grabs of all styles . I would love to sell my own art on the levee.
Brandee Youngclaus
Absolutely gorgeous. We played trivia on the levee and it was such a fun little activity to do as a date they have several drink vendors to help make it more fun 😏 and the drinks are so good. And after we were able to go on a little river walk, one of the best views you can have on the Kentucky/Ohio border. Stunning 💕 …
C Skinner
We came to town to visit the Aquarium and there was an event going on down at the Levee. We all walked through the various vendors & enjoyed some food truck treats. Walking distance to the mall, hotel & shops.
Sue Steller
It was really FUN! We were there to visit Goettafest and afterwards, walked about in the Levee for the air conditioning (not a lot in the building anymore). Then we visited the container park and enjoyed a beverage. Great view of the Cincinnati skyline. #goetta #newport #cincinnati
Mike Nieto
Kids loved it . And I did also.. Nice not to big but not small either . Just enough to shark the minds of my lil ones.. And talked about the fish most of the way home..
Oisivi Savira
We went inside the mall not that busy at December… they have parking place just in front of the Newport before the crosswalk to go aquarium. Jfyi they just pay $5 and you will free explore river walk. Or just existing at the Christmas tree 🎄 …
Tonya Maurer
This place is amazing. So much to see. We have been a couple times now. Once in the middle of the day. It was so busy and so loud. Kinda felt rushed. But we went back. Took the 9am tour. It wasn't crowded. And we had a blast. Was able to really look in all the tanks this time to see so many different critters... love the touching part. We touched everything we could, it was awesome. I recommend ya go early to beat the crowd. But definitely a good time even for the adults.
Bry
It was smaller than expected. And there wasn't a lot of stores to go around to. But the stores we did go to were full of things I wanted.
Kathleen Vigil
It was cool! Great views along the river and lots of stuff to do!
Want to Pleasure you (Taisteyouwet)
We went and seen the best firework show ever but it’s been more than a week ago I have more pictures but there mine
Tai Sanders
First,find a parking place. Most are very close with a block or two at the most. Its worth paying the $7-10 fee, which covers all day. An attendant is on duty so you wont have to worry about your car. So many thing to see and do. Newport Aquarium and AMC theatre are two wonderful options for hot or bad weather days. Great restaurants abound. Every thing you could need all in one location. Highly recommended. Our family always enjoys our vistits.
JKmanMike
We were here for the Oktoberfest and it was OK. The aquarium is amazing, the Newport Oktoberfest is not that great though
Himko Toga
Absolutely wonderful atmosphere. Lots of things to see, eat and do from such as the Newport Aquarium, an awesome Grilled Cheese shop and the cutest little igloos to relax in! When I have more time, I will definitely be returning for a day trip.
Craig A. Reynolds
Just a cool place with so much to do.
Void
I LOVE IT. It's beautiful, and really peaceful and a great photography spot.
M Eaglin
We had fun walking around the levee and hit the movie theater,but there is so much more stuff to do than just that. After the movie we went out of the main building and had dinner at brothers (the restaurant). The food was great and so was the service.
Theresa Overbey
Lots of bars. You won't go thirsty. Had live music. And agame room with bowling and etc
sonja b
Great views, several places to get drinks. Rented scooters for some fun. Zipped around the area a bit to explore. Had a bite to eat at Brothers.
Keith “Blaze” McLennan
Covington did a great job with this city set up. You’d never know it was a shopping mall at first glance.
There are some cool places to eat, grab a drink and view the river and downtown Cincinnati, and lots of fun places to explore.
It is very well designed and it was fun walking around seeing everything here.
Miguel Maldonado
Great place for a walk and enjoy a quiet and beautiful day out. Very clean, safe, family-oriented, and well-kept areas with places to eat, sit, relax, and enjoy the view of the river and downtown Cincinnati.
Jenni Smith-Mann
The Levee actually has a lot to offer. There are several places to dine in for older crowds and others for younger crowds. There's a small shopping "mall" aside from the little shops with outdoor entrances. There's a Starbucks hidden in Barnes and Noble. The candy shop has all Banana Runtz! You can rent bicycles or Lime scooters to cruise around on. Of course the Aquarium if you're into that. There are lots of benches facing Cincinnati for a great view! You can also bring well behaved animals thru the walk areas. There's a direct route to the Purple People Bridge and a new walking area connection for the bridge to the stadium. It's a pretty cool place.
Racheal Dunn
Nice place for photoshoot 📸
And place to hang out with friends. …
Thelma Ramsey
We had 2 seven year olds and a 9 year Old. They loved it except for the interactive parts. They couldn't really touch any of the sea creatures. I understand if they can't reach the bottom, but this wasn't that problem. None of them were designed for children, or short people. They loved the tunnels, bridge, and the glass enclosure tunnels. Overall for the experience we gave it a 4.5 (raised to a 5 because there's no 4.5). Great time overall!
jennifer breedwell
Fun place for families! Went bowling tonight and listened to Dat Band afterwards 😃 …
Kwana Grace
I wish I could give this place 100 stars I went yesterday and I had such an amazing experience! The staff was helpful and so interacting with us, the aquarium was clean and I just booked for 26 family members to go! It's amazing
Dawn B
Cute little place. Unfortunately I wasn't able to stay long as I was on my way home from vacation and really only stopped to eat. However I do hope to visit again. They are doing some construction there. It was nice to look out on the river and at the Cincinnati skyline.
Nibedita Sahoo
A very nice pedestrian bridge that connects Ohio and Kentucky. Loved the evening walk with family.
Trey Campbell
A great place to go whether with friends or family. Lots of options as for what to do. There is usually always something going on down by the waterfront. Great view of the skyline!
Andrew Jones
It's a decent plaza with a number of different options. There's the aquarium, places to get food or just shop around. I can't imagine anyone making the trip for just the levee, it's more a means to get to the other places.
Alex Steciuch
Quite a few empty store spaces and a lot of what I suspect were once retail spots are now office space. It's a strange shopping experience. What is there though are a collection of cute shops and good restaurants. Still worth a trip.
Joe Wendeln
Great theater for IMAX and Dolby 3D. The facility needs work, though. Restrooms wet and leaking. The 3D Glasses return bins were STUFFED FULL, and that is saying something considering how big they are. Where are the staff? The movie was great, but it seems the venue is in need of attention.
Christopher Walker
Great place for the entire family. Movie theater, restaurants, a mall, aquarium next to the mall. Location is right on the banks of the Ohio River opposite side of Cincinnati. Best place to visit when visiting downtown Cincinnati.
T. Kirkland
Not much going on here. Couple of decent stores. The Wooden Cask brewery bar... nice on tap selections. Leaf & Limb plant store is nice. The game room Is highly overpriced - gaming cards expensive for short plays. Drink prices and food is expensive. Went to the movies with a book of AMC tickets and still had to pay $9.00 for the Dolby sound theater (didn't want to go to the 3D or IMAX - those were even more expensive). Then there's the $12 parking.
All in all, if you're going for a night out to the movies get ready to spend.
Kentucky Frey'd Fun
The Levee is being completely remodeled and is in the middle of it. Don't let that scare you away. There is still plenty to do eat and enjoy while you're there. We just went to AMC to see the latest Disney movie and the facility was immaculate plus they have added more parking around the Levee. I look forward to what's to come in the next months.
David Yunker
Will have to check out more of the Levee on the next trip.
Quinton Penhollow
It seems like a great place to get your steps in, and it's home to a bakery with some really good cookies. There were some cool stores to just walk around and browse.
A Tolliver
Walk across the Purple People Bridge, beautiful decorative lights, particularly on the Kentucky side of the bridge. A purple Christmas tree at the entrance at Newport on the Levee is popular for family photos. The lack of adequate lighting on the Ohio side is concerning at night. There's a 200 meter portion at the very end is disconcerting. Additionally, there is construction going on in the same area next to the bridge equally poorly lit.
That being said, it's a beautiful opportunity for photographers to take amazing pictures of the Beautiful Ohio River.
Michelle Haarklau
So pretty, with lots of shops. From ice cream, unique gift shops, candy store, clothing, food and entertainment. The view and location alone is worth a trip to see.
Nathan P. (Naeterboerg)
Newport on the levee isn't the bustling, store packed shopping mall that it once was. NOL has lost many good bars and shops during its apex of popularity, but there are still good places to visit and see:
Pros:
Newport aquarium is a great place to see.
Ohio river walk and the Purple People's bridge
Restaurants near NOL like Hofbrauhaus and Brie.
Great place to jog/ run
Close to Cincinnati banks.
Cons:
Parking can be chaotic on weekends
Not as many stores as there were in the past ( B&N is gone, Bar Louise's was a great place).
Congested traffic around the levee.
Gabriel S.
I am not from the area but I love coming here! The Aquarium is outstanding by itself but the mall and shops that are great to shop and get a meal on the way. The view of the river is nice and the parking is reasonable, with a big garage, but will top out at $5.00 for several hours of time. I am used to over-expensive parking for less entertainment so I applaud Newport for a job well done!
Eden Fischer
I always have a good time here. It's got a vast amount of options of things to do, and my friends I are happy to hang around! The theater is big and nice, and the restaurants are clean and delicious. The view of the lake is probably one of the better attractions here. Overall, I would recommend this to friends and family alike!
Athena Phillips
We drove 2 1/2 hours to get to Newport Levee for the USS Nightmare. (30$ each) The drive was well worth it!! Parking was easy,close & free. We always enjoy all the things there is to do while we're at the levee! Movies, shopping, restaurants, bars, the aquarium..etc. We had a great time going through the haunted dredge! (About 2.5 hrs in line, worth the wait!) Then we walked the Purple people bridge to the Ohio side. We really enjoyed ourselves, as always. We had a good walk, with an amazing view of downtown Cincy! I can't wait to come back!
Lisa Diane
Two of my precious Grand babies had Birthdays this week. So we got to go to there Birthday partys this weekend. I always love when i get to see my kids and my darling grand babies. It just never seems like enough time. They are growing to fast. I love you all so very much.
Grandma and Grandpa had fun❤
7stringdavemc
See you at five guys in January at the levee
Patrick McCleary
A nice touristy place with a aquarium and a great view of the river with plenty of food options within walking distance of the Aquarium and dessert options like Cold Stone Creamery.
Chamindu Gunatilaka
Great place to spend your evening by looking at the iconic Cincinnati city skyscrapers. AMC theater is really clean and I have watched so many movies over there. If you live closer to the city or university, this is a good place to watch movies and spend your weekend.
Joseph Hohler III
I definitely wish there were more big fish here, and maybe more penguins, but on the whole the shark exhibit is good and it's all well preserved. Plus, you get to walk over the shark tank on this narrow walkway.. Also, there are a couple of pools to pet some of the fish, so that's pretty cool.
M G
Cute shopping area. Loved the shops. Plant store, artisan scents, spices. Enjoyed the walk along the water. Cheap parking nearby.
Emma Knowles
Great for music. The outside area is fantastic with great views over Cincinnati. There’s loads of potential here. Can it get a 7-11 shop or similar?! Would be great for the area. There’s a good cinema with lots of options. Maybe some boutique food or shops would be nice for the area too?! It needs filling up but it’s a great space.
Alexandra Greene
Lots of places to eat & drink. Outdoor games for warmer weather. Right next to the aquarium! Gorgeous views of the Ohio river & Cincinnati skyline.
Sean
We like the renovated place. It’s modern and comfortable. Too bad there are still vacancies probably due to Covid. But I can see it’s potential to be a much desired gathering place like it once was. Good job for the developer.
baba black
Great place for the whole family! Restaurants are very nice in the area. As you can see from the pictures there is an outdoor mall area and aquarium along the water front just across from Cincinnati in Kentucky.
Jerry N Mottola
Great shopping center with great potential as we put COVID-19 behind us. Looks like they've done some remodeling recently, looks fresh and more updated, especially with the white and gray colors on the exterior and a brightened up interior.
Frogneel Frayden
Not enough shade outside or any water fountains
The gallery desperately needs more shops in there but glad it's there for the shade and AC 😁
Over all it felt clean and looked nice
Saw cops parked in certain spots which gave a nice safe feel.
Good number of food places and a candy store to go to but not much else at the moment
Chris Rotta
Really nice place to enjoy the waterfront. The Aquarium and restaurants are very nice, but space to sit and visit or take in the view is great. The food and refreshment stands are wonderful on a hot day.
Michael Santamaria
Love this place. I visit all the time. Aquarium and movie theater not to mention a few bars, restaurants, shopping, and an arcade area... It's like a one-stop date night. Wrap that up with the purple people bridge walk or just walk down by the river and the night is complete.
Walter Kropilnicki
Nice place to walk, grab a bite, have drink or a beer, hot drinks like coffe, pastries, try local brews with lots of outdoors seating, live music.
Max Xavier
Nice seafood festival. The lobsters were great. The fried foods were fried ahead of time to speed up the lines but not as fresh as they could be. The live music was great.
Anthony Olvera
Good place to walk around many places to eat and drink family friendly and suday they play live music not a local but i go every time a get a chance
Rich Mason
The aquarium was great. The art work at the Cathedral was spectacular. Wanted to walk the bridge, but it started raining. Will go back another time to do that! Enjoyed the day trip.
Lynn Curlovic
Beautiful views of the Ohio river. Great location for Movies @ AMC, restraunts & the Newport Aquarium!
Bob Forest
Update 4/16/22 improved greatly. Need more shops. Much better than 21.
Went several years ago and was impressed. On 4/17/2021 there are more security guards patrolling than stores open. DO NOT waste time or money parking. The website is inaccurate regarding open stores. I hope businesses will come back, but the signs do not look promising. Disappointed!
Julie Lombardy
So beautiful! Wish we'd had more time to explore, but we were keeping on a schedule. I would love to come back and walk around again, but I live in NE Ohio. Maybe someday!
Becca Lynn
This was one of the coolest locations we visited on our trip! Shops to accommodate everyone! The view is PHENOMENAL! Plus we got to meet a penguin in the aquarium! We will definitely be back!
Rafael Haro
Beautiful place to walk or ride a bike. Near the Ohio River and access to the Purple People Bridge where you can walk or ride your bike to Kentucky.
Lots to see and do. I like the shade and places to sit and enjoy a day with my wife and grandchildren. The Aquarium in Kentucky is nice. The surrounding is full of places to eat and simply walk around and view the Cincinnati skyline buildings.
Justin Shea
Lots to see and do. Great atmosphere with friendly people and things to try. Had a band playing too.
dakota stidham
I had to work Geotta Fest, but it was my first time on the Levee. Gotta say, the view of the river and the Red's Stadium was emaculant.
Kenneth Jessie
A really nice place to visit. Make sure that you have plenty of time to walk around to check everything out. We mainly went to Newport Aquarium, but you can't help but see all of the different shops that are right there.
Wanderluster
There are a several restaurants here, like Brothers, Five Guys, and Cold Stone Creamery for example. A large AMC theater is on top floor, as well as Barnes & Noble and Cosmic Coffee on the second. It's a great place to walk. The view of Cincinnati and the river is beautiful!
Latisha Thomas
Awesome view! Great food, people and always tons of fun!!
Jade Myers
Great place for everyone to come over and enjoy their selves and have fun enjoying memories together. They have this place called velocity sports, Newport aquarium and AMC theaters, different places to eat.
Oleta Adams
Spectacular views of downtown Cincinnati! Cute shops and places to eat.
Lazaria
Awesome place to check out lots of stuff to explore great movie theater with awesome food highly recommend checking it out
william burgher
Five guys, movies theatre,live shows and more ..lots of fun
M Das
This place is awesome wether you have kids or not! Mine loved the shark bridge. The shark bridge can hold up to five tons, if that makes anyone feel better. It is a rope bridge that is above a pool of sharks. There is also a shark touch pool. They are leopard sharks and pajama sharks. Maybe the guitar fish will be out, too! The sharks don't bite. The females are much more timid. The dwarf seahorses are cool, too!Those guys are tiny!The jelly fish are awesome, too!
R Thomas
Like the view you get of Cincinnati from Newport on the Levee. There's a pedestrian bridge you can walk to and from Cincinnati and Newport. If you drive there is a parking garage went on a Sunday so was $3 to park all day. The main attraction in this area is the aquarium there's a movie theater and restaurants.
Megan Griffith
A treasured place for me with lots of memories. I always find something to do here. There's an aquarium, shopping center, movie theatre, and a walking bridge to get fresh air. The cincinnati view is beautiful. <3
Bryon Belcher
Beautiful area to relax and enjoy the views.
W Cleveland
We found this place about 6 years ago. We come down once a year for a competition and always try to go one day. It's in the spring so the weather isn't always warm but it's got to be even better in the summer. Nice place to walk around plus the river in City view is awesome especially at night.
Karen Gallagher
We attended a lock in with the Cub Scouts. Our guide was amazing!!! My son loved sleeping in the shark tunnel and getting to go behind the scenes on all the exhibits.
JOSEPH GUMENY
What a great place with awesome views! Catch beautiful sunset behind downtown Cincinnati. Great walking trail! Cool pedestrian bridge that crosses the Ohio river to Cincy. Lots of shopping, restaurants, bars, entertainment! Love it!!!
Destiny Redkey
WEBN Fireworks get better and better every year. Hosted by WEBN radio station. These Fireworks are the biggest around! Be aware if you have Closter phobia, seizures, anxiety or a hatred for stupid people. This place is full of flashing lights, loud noises you feel throughout your body, close contact (not for covid-19 Karen's) and drunk idiots. Fireworks are worth it all though💯
Hope Fidder
Everything was a bit over priced, and parking isn't great, but it's a decent way to kill some time, and not a bad option for a date. And if you aren't planning on getting a meal, your wallet should be ok, too
Heather N. Schatzman
It's always so beautiful here!
Ari
My daughter loved this place it was so much fun and we enjoyed it. Its a great fun place to visit even in the cold 🥶.we saw the scuba santa and that was so cute the kids got to ask santa what they wanted and all . …
Nichole Whitehead
Kids having fun and Adults can have fun.... A little of everything for everyone just to relax and take night off.
Fox Cities Homes
It's a Beautiful area on the Ohio River. Architecture is awesome in the background with the tall Cincinnati buildings, parks, walkway Bridge over the river and stages for music. And the outdoor shops on the brick paved upper level. The aquarium is also a real treat
Bobbie A
Great time at the aquarium! Incredibly friendly staff, with most dressed up in costumes. We got there early Sunday on a dreary day and it was not all that crowded, thankfully; we had 4 adults, 2 tends, 2 kids, and an infant! Enough inside and out to keep the kids plenty entertained for hours!
Rhonda Yazell
Whenever my family is in town from Chicago I take them to Newport on the levee. They LOVE it! We walk the Purple People Bridge from Kentucky to Ohio. There are tons of nice places to eat, the Aquarium etc. all in one spot. Parking is easy, there's an underground parking garage from 2.00 to 5.00. I highly recommend this place! You'll love it.
Megan Drotleff
Awesome area to walk around and have fun. The common area with the TV is nice. Lots of events. Hope to return someday.
Madalyn White
There is an amazing gaming store for dungeon and dragons located here, 10/10 would recommend.
Joe Messina
Nice place to visit, although I wish there were more shops
Robert Thomas
Dart Rush was great! We where having a birthday party and kept having to push it back because of a flight delay for the birthday girl. The staff was very understanding and helped. We had a blast there to ages from 60's to 9. All had a blast
Joseph Laskosky
It's a lot of food and drink vendors and a wonderful "on the river" location. It's a great place to sit and enjoy the view of the river and enjoy a drink and a snack!
Big Man
Most amazing fireworks I’ve ever seen , I’ve always loved going there, I try to go before every Cincinnati Reds game I go to at great American ball park
Stephen Medlin
Beautiful view of the river. Several restaurants open 3-4pm. More opportunities for lunch on Monmouth
Jeff Schultz
Many options for entertainment. The Friday night bands are always fun and energetic. Great place to visit!
Brenda Valdivia
Great place to catch a movie. There are many options to catch a bite before or after the movie. There's plenty of parking. The river front is just steps away. You get a fantastic view of Cincinnati and if none of that gets your attention the Aquarium is also a few steps from Levee.
Katy Omar
For first-time visitor's.Be ready to pay depending on your family size.The annual passes might be a better solution if you need to come more often or if you have coming back plan's.I expected more to see. But the kid's loved it. Between Ohio and Kentucky You will enjoy the skyline. If never been there, You might consider going.
Ulaunda Tucker
Great experience!! Lots of fish and other animals, certain areas in which one can touch the animals and this puts you in awe!!
Ingrid W
It's even customized to enjoy even in the colder months!! Lots of stuff to do! Movies aquarium, sights, dining, shopping n all sorts of stuff. They have little heated domes you can rent outside and enjoy the scenery. With service and all. Too cool!!
Sara Cerk
Such an amazing place! Crepes, fudge, cotton candy, the aquarium, grilled cheese restaurant ( tom + chee) and a beautiful view of the city! Really cool place with an incredible veiw!
Dianne Stevens
It's starting to look like a ghost town they really need to bring more stores in and a little bit more excitement and use a Weber to get the cobwebs from the spiders down off the railings this is something they need to do every single day cuz we're in the season for spiders to make their webs
Jay Mehta
Definitely, THE PLACE to be if you are in Newport area. Located on the river bank, it has a movie theater (AMC), pub (Brothers), many restaurants (Five Guys, BRIO, Rodendo Taqueria, Tom+Chee), ice-cream shop (Cold Stone), a bookstore (Barnes and Noble), an aquarium (Newport Aquarium), gaming zone (Gameworks), coffee shops (Starbucks, Saxby's) and more. Great place to hang out even late night.
On the river side, it gives a beautiful view of the downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River. You can sit back, relax and enjoy on one of the many benches. There is a historic tree on the river side that has stood the test of time. There are many river cruises that leave from BB Riverboats nearby (although it's an offseason right now, so they do it when the winter is less severe).
Great for kids as well since there is a Newport Express toy train that circles around the complex. In addition, they can enjoy at Newport Aquarium and savor the delicious ice-cream at Cold Stone Creamery.
There is a large covered parking in the basement at a nominal fee. Plus, the Southbank Shuttle drops you right outside the complex.
Overall, a great place to spend a couple of hours on a weekend.
Ramana K V
Time well spent. Aquarium right across the Ohio river from downtown, home to wonderful aquatic creatures, and there are playful penguins too.
Victor B
Fun place for tourists and locals alike to spend the day shopping and eating. Nice river views. Big aquarium at one end and a AMC movie theater at the other end. Brio is good dood and the HoffBrau house is across the street!
Worth an afternoon!
VictorB
Cheeto Snake
Great for walking around and seeing the skyline. The purple people bridge is a pedestrian only bridge and you can walk across into Cincinnati. Shops and restaurants are a bit overpriced but that's to be expected.
The Bourbs' Games and Crafts
I have not been to the levee I'm a couple years. The changes they have made are amazing.
There is still something for everyone and now there is so much more.
The outdoor entertaining has been dialed up all the way. This is what the outside at the levee should have always been for a location on the river.
The bars and seating and games are incredible. I used to avoid the levee at all cost and now I want to go there every weekend.
Great job!

A great place to take the kids. We enjoyed all the different fish and reptiles they had on display. After waiting 40 mins seated for the dive show at the shark tank, we learned they cancel the site during this time if year due to shark aggression due to breeding season. I completely understand canceling due to this but they knew ahead of time and should let people know so they don't waste time.

The Levee has gone downhill a bit over the last decade as more and more businesses have left. It is a nice location but paying to park for limited activities makes me not want to go there often. I’ve heard it’s under new management and they are getting ready to give it a facelift; hopefully they can get some life back to it.
Adrien Kooyman
Such a fun place to visit and wonderful entertainment always available. Plenty of dining and entertainment options. Beautiful views. Love Newport on the Levee!
Mike “Log house Mike” P
Very nice day. Lots of places to shop and eat lunch or a snack. There were public restrooms very nice. We went there to see the aquarium but it was also very nice to overlook the river.
Chas Thornberry
A little crowded with skate boards and bikes with kids riding around being ride but other than that. Great facility and stores as well as restaurants
Michael Kovatch
It's an awesome space. The new renovations are great. Good for kids to run around or terms adults to hang out. They have great events during the weeks for kids, adults and even barks and brews with pets. Great view to have drinks and chat. I hope more interesting business or restaurants come in, but the new ones are pretty cool. The stand outs were definitely the crepe bar, lemonade/hard lemonade stand. Fun to eat on the water at brothers go to a movie and have ice cream after. My wife and I want to go bowling. Something for everyone. Wish Dewey's was still there though.
Bo Alstoft
When visiting the aquarium we found the stores, restaurants and other ventures in this area is a great place to spend an afternoon. Plenty of places to visit, snoop around and get entertained. Very clean with great views of Cincinnati across the river. Highly recommended!
Thadd F.
Wow! Newport on the Levee has really changed for the better! It's all grown up now. We loved all the shipping container bars in the plaza in front of the aquarium. There are so many great options to chose from for drinks. We had a drink from the tiki bar. We can't wait to visit again soon!
Jessica “2Bratzmomma” Escalante
This is right outside of the Newport aquarium. There are many little shops in this area. The sun was so bright it waa hard to get a good photo of us but that just adds to the memory. Lol. I love the postcard photo!
Phoebe Allen
This place was so amazing. There was so much to do and see, absolutely wonderful. I want to come back sometime soon!
Leandra C
Great place for a family night or date night!
Aquarium, restaurants, movie theater, bowling, laser tag, and it's being renovated/updated constantly!
Not to mention the best photo opportunity of Cincinnati
Justin Griffith
I found the levee to be a great place. Very family oriented. It was both safe and clean, lots of multicultural families visiting, with the aquarium there you could probably spend all day and not run out of things to do.
Erica Moore
Went to Riverfest in Newport. A great place to view fireworks and lots of places to get food, lemonade and drinks.
Niraj Chaurasia
Happening and a go to place for the residents in the city. The place is decorated well during festivals and there is some event happening every day. There are plenty of restaurants and shopping places. The movie theatre located here is awesome and neatly maintained. There is a paid parking here.
Melanie Kelly
I enjoy this place a lot! It is a good spot for family, friends, etc. to hang out and chill together. I have been going here for the past several years and I will never stop.
Eli Snow
Fun place to go shopping! You have a amazing view of Cincinnati from there! Great place!
Viki Gossen
Enjoyed the views of Cinci across the river at sunset in Newport. We had a warm day and ate socially distanced at Brothers. It looks like some groups are in plastic heated livingrooms in front of the Christmas tree. Best visit to Newport yet. We park downtown Cinci and walk over every year on our way through the area.
J R Trammel
Fun bunch of festive businesses clustered around the Newport Aquarium, movie theaters, shopping, dining, bars, and various food trucks. a fun couple of hours! You can then walk across the adjoining Purple People Bridge to Cincinnati's pro sports stadia, burning off the calories. Mostly.
Jacob Evans
It is what it is. We went down when the bourbon festival was going on and we hadn't been in a while. Lots of new shops with no real interest to me but with what they are turning Newport into it makes sense. If you've got money to burn you will have a good time.
Katie Ruwe
It's listed as a shopping mall but it's not. There's a small amount of local shops in the main building that rotate so there's always something new. But if it's between rotations, there's nothing to shop for or at. There's a good amount of different food places that are nice and the movie theater. In the summer time they do put out little games for kids (like a big connect-4) but it's not really something that the kids can spend the whole day at unless you plan on going to the Aquarium (make reservations!)
Kenneth Lampart
Awesome shops. The kids loved the candy store and ice cream. We all loved the aquarium.
Bear Pollard
Very interesting location. Love the view of the Ohio River and of the skyline of Cincinnati. Parking is nearly nothing to $2.00 for all day at the parking garage underneath the Levee.
A lot of fun activities and great dining experiences to be enjoyed. AMC theater and Newport Aquarium for starters and l love the closeness of the Hofbrauhaus which is within walking distance. A fun filled environment for the entire family to enjoy and another great place to bring out of town friends...
Rachel Cobas-Pimienta
I LOVE THIS PLACE unfortunately because of the covi19 some games were close but is a nice place to take the kids and your self I enjoy it too!!
Monserrat Benitez
I really like the place but today that we visited (was super hot outside) couple security guard kept kicking out people from these tables and closing the umbrellas!!?!??? I mean, it was ficking hot and so little shade 🤷🏻♀️ customer service level 0 🤨 couple people had kids and they still got kicked out… …
Prajakta
You can spend a whole day here doing many activities like shopping, gaming, visiting aquarium and restaurant. The most fun way is to cross the pedestrian bridge from the other side of the downtown.
Manny D
Great overall Mall with a indoor GameWorks attached, Courtyard is great.
Crystal Rapp
This is a nice little area with plenty to do. The Newport Aquarium is here. As well as an AMC Movie Theather. There is also a candy store and a few restaurants to eat at. It was an amazing experience getting lunch and sitting on a bench by the aquarium. Being able to eat and see the beautiful scenery of the city and the Ohio River.
Pat
Still being built-up. Absolutely beautiful. The aquarium has lots of food shops. Definitely will return.
Kimberly Schueler
Fun listening to music. Bring your bug spray. I would have liked visiting the aquarium but it was closed.
Art Salazar
Interesting shops and nice aquarium close by. Be ready with your wallet! Make sure it's full because you'll need the cash!!!
Joey L
The levee has a couple staples, the aquarium and movie theater, but outside of that there isn't too much to do. The new owners are definitely moving it in the right direction but it could use some more food options.
T. T.
My kids had the best time. The only reason I am rating four stars is because there was something happening in another part of the aquarium and we didn't get to see the penguins get fed.
William Wilson
Great place to hang out. Ate at brothers which was really good. The AMC Gallery could use more businesses.
BRIAN S
Great place to enjoy the variety of food and exhibits to see as well as the ambiance of an evening stroll along the river.
Dee Simon
Had a great time with my nephew! They are taking the precautions to make sure everyone is safe and have a great time.
Angie Tucker
So fun!
JOSE FLORES
Cincinnati and its bridges looks wonderful from this place. Take a good picture with your partner and show Cincinnati
Eric Ayers
Fun place to visit. Stopped in the bookstore to get a Starbucks coffee and pic up a Harry Potter present. Visited the Newport Aquarium to step out of rain and have some fun. Hit up the candy store and ice cream shop before heading out.
Jerrod Cleveland
I had a nice time at Newport Aquarium.
Yoselin Bolano
I was nice but too small for the price. They don’t have activities for the kids. And I was expecting something better
Roy Parker
Nice, clean place. Park underground for $5. Some shopping and dining exist as well as the aquarium.
Kacey Gibbs -Knight
I've been bringing my kids here for 10+years and we've never been disappointed. I've made such great memories with my boys at Newport Aquarium. We'll always have a special place in our hearts for Newport!
Richard lama
Fun place to spend the evening. Some good restaurants and shops. You can take the bus from the garage.
Jennifer McNulty
Had a great time!! Between the aquarium, shops,and places to eat it's a fun place for all
DaviAkos Assagba
Good!...........but too short and didn't have any shows. One day admission price should be a little cheaper especially for a 2 years old.
M J
Entertainment and shopping complex on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. Lots of things to do here: Newport Aquarium, Movies, Shopping & Dining. Parking garage is below the complex and you have to pay at kiosks before you go to your car, not at the exit.
Rhea Vishal
Wonderful place ,must visit if you are at Cincinnati! Kids would love the place as well,well maintained .
m schleich
Nothing really lasts here and there's not much going on outside of the theater.
The aquarium would be a great attraction if it wasn't so grossly overpriced, like the few bars and restaurants that are still managing to keep their doors open here after so, so many have closed.
Just another half empty American mall.
Nice city and river views.
Tiffanie Troutman
Love eating, walking and just being at the Newport Levee...... romantic environment, great food, entertainment along with friendly staff and convenient/affordable parking!
Hope you take the time to take in this awesome experience!!!!!!
Brandon Blandford
Very fun area and very nice! We had fun at the aquarium and around the area!
Ginger Staton
Hamster Waterball. So fun watching the family inside the ball. You're inside it maybe 5 minutes. Unique experience.
Jeremy Morales Madrigal
It was great to have the place basically for ourselves on Thanksgiving day
Rafael Nunez2
I had a blast here but most important my kid , omg 😲 he loved his time here
He played nonstop and run 🏃🏻 everywhere hahaha
He did not wanna leave at all
Played in the little pool and after we where done playing and running he wanted ice cream 🍦 by the way (Dewys pizza is amazing)
You have so many options here, walk at the bridge, go to the aquarium, enjoy a movie 🎥
You choose❤️❤️
I cant wait to come back with my kid here
Jamie Iacobucci
Wow! So much to do here in Newport, KY...all with a beautiful view of downtown Cincinnati! Newport Italian Festival is always a blast with great food, drinks and live music! Fun times for everyone!
Sarmid Hermiz
Nice mall but all the shops were closed for some reason at 10am on a Friday, we went to Newport Aquarium and the shops were open when we came out around 3pm, the main courtyard drains were stopped up and there was a huge puddle of rain water and didn't seem that they were working on it even when we left there at 3pm
James Amrein
Quiet on a weekday afternoon. It's changed in the last few years, not all for the better, but I'm sure on a weekend it's a lively place.
Toni “2 Chicks and A Fish” Robinson
I love this place. It has evolved in the last year to a family oriented outdoor space. A great place to take family and friends. A great place to spend time walking around and eating. It also has several stations 4 quenching your thirst. I highly recommend this place.
Charley Stinnett
We enjoyed walking the Purple People Bridge, shopping at Barnes and Nobles bookstore, and we had nice treat (Cosmic Coffee and ColdStone Creamery ice cream). A lot of vacant businesses these days.
Chloe Peterson
We love the aquarium, however, it's usually quite crowded and there is little in the way of effective crowd control. However, I really appreciate the ongoing education stations, my kids love to ask questions.
SliceTube
They really need more things to do in the mall. I feel like the remodel was a good idea in theory. But, as someone who adores malls, I think it was way better before. There were more fun stores and it felt like it had personality. Unfortunately, both the inside and outside don't feel like a fun destination anymore they just feel like a place for college students to hang out on weekends.
Paul Nikielski
Great place to look at both of the stadium's and to walk around. Loved it
Stanley Means
Awesome shopping center with good food, affordable clothing, and some fun activities for all the family to enjoy. Only downside is there are no points of shade for the hot summer months. Make sure to bring sun screen.
Akshay Bhat
Newport on the levee is a must place to visit if you want to relax and enjoy the day with your friends and family. It has a really beautiful view of downtown Cincinnati skyline. You can also find many attractions such as aquarium, bowling alley, restaurants and AMC theater. Overall it's a great place situated in Kentucky.
J L
Newport Aquarium is just awesome. They have lots of hands-on activities and so many beautiful animals. With or without the family, it's a great way to spend a day. Oh! And don't forget to let the folks in the cafeteria know if you have food allergies and they will be happy to fix something to order for you!
Melissa R
Great place to spend the day or the night.
Tequila Answers Always
A place for all ages rain or shine. Newport Aquarium, several restaurants and great place to walk your pet.
Carl Riley
Really cool place to see, wasn't able to speak nearly enough time as there is so much to see and do here.
Joe Kemphaus
They have made great improvements. A lot of fun places to go to. The two breweries on the Levee are excellent additions.
Justin Stevens
They have gotten much better in lieu of the shops closing and have opened some really intriguing new ones. The atmosphere and area are beautiful no matter what time of day or year you go. Amazing place for a date night considering everything is in walking distance. Even if you want to go to Cincinnati its close enough of a walk on the bridge that it feels like nothing. View is great.
MoMMaof 2sillygirls
This place was super nice. Went on the bridge for the first time ever and I must say it was super super nice and relaxing. Seeing all the pretty views at night. Only down fall wish there was those nice swings on the Cincinnati side right across so u could relax after on them but they r down further. Any how overall was a nice nice place.
fred rice
Had a good time with the company I was with and a very good sandwich grilled turkey bacon ranch and cheese!! Yummy
Damon Rispoli
Nice public space, hope to go back on bicycles and use the bike rack instead of paying for parking
BIGKEV629
We drove down from Toledo (3 hrs). It was well worth the trip!!! Downtown Cincinnati is VERY NICE!!!!!
JoshSkye Roberts
Very nice but parking is always packed along the riverside. Better to park in parking garage
Cameron Prater
Signs said smoking in designated areas only and there were none and not much was going on. The sea life was nice and we even got to have cleaner shrimp pick at our hands which tickled.
Colluna Flowers
A little empty these days and mostly bars and restaurants. The aquarium and movie theater are still there and it's a great place to park and walk across the purple people bridge to Cincinnati.
Rohit Yadav
This is very nice place. On a perfect weather day downtown Cincinnati is visible, the river is beautiful and you can also enjoy boat rides. There is also an aquarium and lot of places to hang out and eat. Plenty of parking and valet parking as well. Will plan to go again.
Lovable Whitby
Oh, such a great place with a nice variety of options for many sorts of people. Definitely great for group hang outs. Not cheap, but also not too expensive. I definitely love the levee!😍😇💯💖
I've enjoyed every trip there. And the last time I went, I saw a movie with a friend. Didn't like the move we started to watch so they let us trade tickets to see another movie. All for free. ✌
Naveenkumar Gadagi
Nice to see the aquatic environment near to me. Worth the money you spend.
SweetStacy Ramirez
Big aquarium, great for the whole family, and also a lot of events in the area
Maddie Bailey
There is a beautiful view of the bridge, and there are many small restaurants, shops, a movie theater and the aquarium to visit for a full day of fun!
Scott Sypien
Really cool shopping and dining venue across the river from Cincinnati. We stopped here during a trip for an hour and wish we had more time. Would like to come back!
Jaye Love
Whenever I feel like doing something I go over there to eat and shop around. I be meeting new people and trying new things. Fun! Fun! Fun!!!!!! 🙂 …
Alycia Collins
Overall cute atmosphere isn't so kid friendly more like a cute couple scene but had a great time.
Matthew B
Very cool atmosphere and location. Movie theater, ice cream, bars and restaurants, aquarium. Love hanging out here
Britney Dill
I personally dont get alot out of it. I enjoy walking around and going across the bridge. I really like this place because of the activities teenagers can gather up and get into there positively. It gives them a place to go with different activities.
Kirti Bhamare
This place is good for hanging out with friends. If you go to backside, you will get a nice view of the river. It's not a good idea to visit in winter. But this place is always happening!! Here attaching two photos taken from this place.
Michelle Denny Oliver
It's a great place. We took our 2 year old grandson and he absolutely loved it. The people are so nice and helpful . I would recommend this place to everyone young and old.. I plan on going back again.
Nathan Hurst
It was great as always, maybe a little better tonight since it was the start of Goetta Fest 2021!
Matt Craft
Perfect spot with a perfect view. A lot of fun to be had here!
D Cooper
Nice place to walk around if youre waiting on a BB Boat Tour or visiting the aquarium. Not many shops open inside the building.
Ian Breen
Last time my wife and I were here was about 8 years ago and it was nice. Now with all the new trendy businesses that are open there it has made this place even more enjoyable
Matt Munro
What a great time to spend with little ones, learning about marine life 👌
Nice and clean area with plenty of shopping to do 👍👍 …
Michelle Jesse
Light up the Levee was a great time got to see Santa Landing on a helicopter got to see reindeer listen to music face painting balloons my grandson love it such a great time for the family

Nice little hidden gem by the aquarium. Lots of foodie places to try in a semi outdoor setting.
Garrett Satow
Cool setting and decent seating. Drinks were expensive for what we were getting (at the blended drinks place).
Garrik Peters (Draegon)
Such a nice venue to just hang out.
Lori Thompson
Good place to stop inspite of perpetual construction. This is where Newport aquarium is, the movie theatre, Tom and and Chee, and other interesting stores/kiosk, abd some good authentic restaurants.
Felisha Rivers
Sister is here all the way from Florida. We decided on bowling. Made it there and they're booked for the night. Total disappointment. We were hungry so we stopped at Brothers. The food was great, however our waitress found it more interesting to ignore us most of the time we were there. Pleasant enough she was just not as inviting as one would expect. We had to keep calling for her instead of her checking to see if all was great. Another disappointment. Even with all the hiccups we managed to enjoy ourselves. I would definitely visit Newport on the Levee again. Just not late night.
Cesar Padilla
Great place to take the family and great venues around the area.
Jason Ewing
Great place to come visit at any age. Has really cleaned up and changed over the years. One small complaint I have is that the second floor public restroom (men's and family) are filthy. There's toilet paper hanging off the ceiling, (men's public) markings on the ceiling (men's public) and toilet paper just shoved in the toilets. (Men's public). Also one of the family bathrooms doors doesn't even close (How scary). The logs by the entrance of the restroom hasn't been updated since March either! Just saying we can do better
Joshua Hartman
We had a good time at the Italian Festival.
Carlton McGee
We ate at Mitchells Seafood. It had been recommended to me. My cousin and I were both very pleased with the service and most of all with the food. We had a window view out over the Ohio River on a beautiful day. I had clam chowder, wedge salad, and mashed potatoes dish, and he had Parmesan chicken pasta dish. I am love good food and I am hard to satisfy, and my cousin is even harder to satisfy on food. So take that into account with me giving them 5 stars. Then we toured the waterfront and walked over to Ohio on the converted railroad bridge. I was able to acquire many nice photos that I may be able to do something with. The bridge is private property and they have banners hanging from it which makes it ugly. Get rid of the banners! I recommend a week day to avoid the crowds. It is a good place for families, and dating. So if I had had a date instead of being with my cousin, it would have been even better! ;)
Cactus
Went for the Italian festival, yummy, and Gary Jeff Walker wished me a happy birthday from the stage! I felt special for a minute! 🥳 …
Rebecca Pittman
Loved my short time there. Verry welcoming and relaxing. Great place for walking or relaxing. Nice sights and great people! Oh and do stop in and get some ice-cream!
Jason Johnson
Residential, commercial complex featuring Newport Aquarium, AMC multiplex cinema, Coldstone Creamery, Brothers Bar & Grill, and various other food options. Charming little Riverwalk with great views of river and Downtown Cincinnati with access bridges to and fro.
Donald hood
The levee is a neat area that has bars restaurants and some shopping as well as a great view of Cincinnati across the River
Markeeta Languell
Awesome little spot to get a drink before taking the kids to the aquarium!
Stephanie Marie
Its getting better. The Tom Chee restaurant was ridiculous. My mother and baby girl went to the aquarium and really enjoyed themselves. Definitely make that trip if you can. Myself and my oldest went to the AMC theater and really enjoyed ourselves. Comfy seats. Good snacks. Just expect the theatre prices.
Blair Durbin
Love what they have done during the renovation. Would love more stores for a new popular shopping site.
Tiffeny Brown
I loved the views!!! Plenty of places to stop for a bite or drink.
Mrs.Brandi Boyd
It Was Fun But We Have Not Ate Here Or Nothin Like That
Jd Baker
Heck of a good time
the love
Our daughter loves the aquarium because it's hands-on-fun and informative. The new stingray exhibit was amazing!!
Brittany Mason
The levee has been updated and seems like it has more to offer now. It feels a little more well rounded. There are restaurants, an ice cream shop, the cinema, shops, the aquarium etc.
Marsha Murphy
Clean and nice place to visit. Many nice stores with plenty of selections for everyone.
Andrew Serce
This was a great area to walk around and spend some time with friends. Look at that view of the river and Cincinnati!
There's an aquarium, plenty of restaurants, shops, outdoor and indoor seating, and even a movie theater.
Mr E
Pay for parking which sucks but it's a nice place all around
Giles Gent
It was real easy to get into the place and it didn't cost that much for parking and we got right in no problem good place if you like that kind of thing
Julia Pavey
So many great shops to go to and you have the Aquarium to get to see.
Wanda Lane
My children enjoyed themselves! It was nice family day.
Bloomins
Love to go here for the movies, for the food, and for the Aquarium. the river view is so nice, and the new outdoor seating is just lovely.
Mary Beth Boggs
Fun relaxing place...awesome bartender!
Delicious food!!
Ron Phillips
The gallery has some gift shops and bars.
Ralph
Very picturesque. Great views of the river, the bridges, and downtown Cincinnati
Nicole Adams
Took my family there today for the 1st time. We all LOVED IT! So much to see and do... I would love to just sit and watch the exhibits for hours! Everything I had seen in comments did not do this place justice. I read that they did not have an octopus, jelly fish, sea horse, or a sea turtle. They absolutely had all 4 My oldest son was so happy to get to see a sea turtle! The interactive exhibits we're awesome too! Pet starfish, rays, and sharks! Plenty of spots for photo ops as well. It was a WONDERFUL place to go as a family. Already planning our next trip! Even the gift shop is reasonable on pricing. For the penny press machine... You only need a dollar! Found that out after we passed on the first one. Cause who cares cash... Much less pennies anymore! I do have a suggestion, if you have littler kiddos that like to lollygag try to get there about 30 mins early so you can find that lost shoe, eat some snacks, and make your way from the parking garage to their very cute little "village". There were many vendors and shops, and the movie theatre!
Erica Hawkins
Parking has greatly improved!!
There's always something fun to do!!
John Baggott
A really fun place to hang out on a Sunday lots to do and eat great views of the city
Bradley Fish
I love this place! Scenic river views of Cincinnati, movies, shopping and the Newport Aquarium. You won't find it hard to find something for everyone. Great for kids too!
HipHop Santa
I love it down here during the holidays! They're getting the decorations hung up now.
Keith Peters
I would give it 5 stars but it only takes around 1 hour to see and do everything even if your taking your time. 90 bucks for a family of 3 for an hour pretty much. Shark bridge is lame and you cant even see through the netting on the bridge.
Will
It's small but they make the most of what they have. Lots of different animals. A very cool walkthrough we're you're completely surrounded by the tank that includes sharks. And the shark bridge at the end is cool.
Richard Hunt
The pop-up market for the holidays is terrific (it's in the former Barnes & Noble location).
Dennis Reynolds
A great place to lurk around. I'm always searching for great places to lurk around suspiciously. Also their is an AMC theatres which is dope.
Kevin McFadden
(Edit- Newport Aquarium) All the tanks were cool but the shark tank was really neat, especially walking over the Shark Bridge. The sharks were among our favorites but the reptiles and amphibians were the best. Snowball and Snowflake, the white alligators in their huge enclosure, were the highlights for me personally. I'd plan anywhere from 2-4 hours for a visit here. The exhibits offer plenty of interaction throughout the aquarium including the opportunity to pet anemones, stingrays, starfish and even certain sharks. Some of the tanks offer a chance to climb inside for some really cool photos.
Luke Bryan
It's always pretty cool, if nothing else than for the views.
Keith Schomaker
Great exhibits, interactive learning stations, and beautiful marine life abound!
Rocky B
Fantastic atmosphere, nice place to enjoy the views
Abdullah Al Ghamdi
What a nice place!!
You can spend a whole day without feeling bored.
Stoney Stoney
Had a very good time for my first time ever being there I would definitely recommend to do it and go back again for myself and family
Amber Hillis
Very beautiful aquatic set up! Amazing place to take anyone of any age! I'm 36 n enjoyed my time, my step son is 12 n he had a blast as well...so yes age of all ages will enjoy!!
Dawn McGee
Very nice dining by the river with a variety of food choices. Music good but on the loud side for my taste
David Criss
We visited the Newport Aquarium and afterwards ate on the Levee. Clean, nice, great view of Cincinnati, excellent parking structure at a reasonable price, and more things to do. We did not walk the Levee like many others were and next time we will.
David Fulfer
Great place to hangout, cross the purple bridge and see the sights
Ann Agee
Had a great day with family and friends. Great place to enjoy a rainy day
Gequilla Mccarthy
Spring Break!!!! This was so much fun. We visited the Newport Aquarium and stopped at sweet dreams candy shop for my daughters school teachers favorite candy. I hope to visit again soon.
siris siris (Theamazingwhale)
Amazing view of the Ohio river. Plenty of places to eat five guys, Axis bowling alley "I have an individual review of Axis". There is an aquarium and a theatre
Anna Holmquist
If you are into touristy activities this is the spot. Great views and photo opportunities of Cincinnati across the river. Parking is less expensive in the surrounding lots.
Alex
After visiting the Newport Aquarium my family and I walked around this mall. I wish it had more options for shopping. We had lunch at the Velocity Esports and we all loved those pizzas.
Julie Cramer
Nothing to write home about. A couple shops that I would never ever shop in. An over priced coffee shop. A few restaurants, but the only ones worth speaking of is Tom and Chee and Five guys. Cold stone creamer is there. Good place to walk around and get your steps in. Love the Aquarium.
Darrell Hugueley
This looks like a cool place visit. I only went here to go to a movie at the AMC Theater, but there looks to be some great places to shop and eat. You have to pay to park, but the rates are not too bad. Modern and chic, there are a mix of family and adult places to visit and eat.
Joe Brooks
Beautiful, scenic and relaxing atmosphere. Good places to eat, shop or hear live music.
Jenney Lynn (Jen Jen)
We had a great time when we went and loved it. Great place to take the family for a fun day out
Suzy Greene
Lots to see and do. People seem friendly and happy to be outside.
Hans Otto Knoernschild-Lehr
Great fireworks! So much fun on labor day!
Douglas Woods
Poor parking in the whole area. The aquarium was pricey
Jessica R (TrinityRisky)
What a fun place to experience! There are so many options for dining ranging from low end to little bit higher in food establishments. There's different types of shopping available for most shopping types. The parking situation there is awesome I've never had an issue finding any parking oh, and it is an affordable and usually ranges about $5 for a think maybe two or three hours don't quote me on that one. It has an amazing view of the Ohio river and looking to the Ohio Riverbank. It's a great place for families with small children because of the Newport Aquarium and all the food options plus there's a sweet store. It's also a great option for teenagers and young adults as well as married couples and older couples or order people in general. I know it's a big place to go for a lot of Ohio roadtrippers. It can be a little busy and be prepared to walk around. The riverfront itself offers like I said before beautiful views but also a nice breeze that comes through. Making it perfect for the summer season. I absolutely would recommend everybody at least checking this out once.
Dia Kuve
Went for seafood festival. Many choices and all were tasty. Prices were good and the people that I met were pleasant. Could have used some hand washing stations because of hand held foods. Next time i will take some wet ones. Looking forward to going again next year.
Randy Leatherwood
There are several vacancies here. A few food truck type places are available and a couple of bars outside are ready. The aquarium is a big draw and It's worth a visit.
Carrie Baxter
Fun place to hang out. So much to do here. The aquarium is a must.
Kartia's Olinger
Beautiful views some nice shops and eateries
RICARDO ALVAREZ
Absolutely a great hour and a half of entertainment. It is aimed for family fun, but a pair of two senior citizens had the time of their life there. Better than Atlanta's aquarium because of the side by side fish descriptions/narratives. Highly recommend the time there.
demoondo
One of my favorite aquariums. The price is worth every bit all the fish and reptiles are active and fun to watch. The aquarium is set up really well to five lots of great views and you can often come to find a tank at another viewing angle later on. The shark bridge is a ton of fun and the white alligator is beautiful. It's a huge loss if your in the area and DONT stop by this aquarium.
Eric's Adventures
Went to the Italian Food festival, had a great experience. Parking was trouble-free and low-priced. The music and food were spectacular!!
Champaign
Newport Aquarium - Shark walk = Super fun. Less crowded on Sunday's 3 hrs before closing
Adam Akka
Great area to spend some time with the family.
MiKe Brueggeman
Always a nice location, plenty of shops, and restaurants to enjoy.
John Ciaramitaro
The area has truly grown over the years. The theme during Christmas is always beautiful. The new seating and lounge spaces truly make the shopping center feel fun and welcoming!
John Pause
Fantastic aquarium with a great variety of new exhibits. Love the new shark bridge!
Travis Treen

We had a great time! 1st visit, coming back!
Randi Berryman
We took our 8 month old son here and had a blast! He loved the bubble viewing areas! It was so cute watching him climb the bubble as high as he could before sliding back down! He would watch the fish and try to get to them while adorable baby giggling! It stole my heart and the heart of everyone else within hear shot! We will be back!
Micheal Sherwood
New port is absolutely beautiful. I prefer it at night for photography and just a general lack of people. Just seems more magical
Theres still plenty to do in the area. During the day the businesses are open and the entire area is still very nice. Dogs are not allowed in most of the buildings, so If you're traveling with doggos. The barnes and nobles gave us a few minutes to let the dogs cool off and the little mini mall also let us have the dogs in as long as they didnt walk on the ground
KJ Wheelhouse
Spent a great day at The Levee, did the famous fish pedi at Garra, bowled & played billiards at Axis Alley and enjoyed walking along the river.
Jeff Harrod
Had a great time at the Aquarium with ny Brother and Sister in law! You know the kids had a great time if the adults did too!
Linda Hightchew
Had a nice time walked the bridge to Cincinnati and back hung out on the Levee lot of fun enjoyed the evening.
Kathy Spies
Love the shops! Stopped at Coldstone for their delicious ice cream!
Sue Johnston
This place is beautiful! Well maintained, staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
Doug Phillips
Great area to visit, just a stroll across the bridge from Cincinnati!
Loretta Twigg
Went on a road trip with my daughter, granddaughter and great grandson and great granddaughter. Just seeing the looks on their faces was awesome.
Jessica Miller
Great Aquarium, very kid friendly with lots of interaction opportunities, easy flow of traffic through exhibits, and plenty of informative plaques around to educate the kids. We loved it and it was fairly close so driving there was not difficult.
Eric Williams
Extremely adequate flood protection. Occasionally allows seepage during heavy rains, but generally prevents excessive water when the river is high. Also, they have Subaru Bajas there.
Justin Rankin
While it is getting older, it is still a nice place to come and shop. The aquarium is probably the best I have ever been to.
Gina Pacheco
This was our first time and we will definitely be back! So much to see and do! Fun and food!!!
rhonda fender
Levee is pretty empty now days but but we always love the aquarium
Tyrone Bennett

Kathyrn Austin
Very cool place with lots to explore.
John McKinney
Nice area with shops, an aquarium, and theater. There is a couple of bars nearby as well.
effie enmen
Loved the variety of fish and colors. Very enjoyable.
Morgan Rigaud
The Levee looks better than ever, with a cute container park, reimagined outdoor spaces, and the installation of an extended riverfront walking path. You’ll see beautiful views of Cincinnati’s skyline in a safe, accessible space with plenty of parking. The Levee is a fantastic launch pad for any outdoor activities that incorporate the bridges- perfect for walking, running, and cycling across the bridges and back.
Nate Webb
Is a very big place but do not have many stores in it at all the parking is very cheap and it was cool to just go and see the Christmas trees light's.
Donniell
Good views, good food, kids enjoy it. Adult things to do as well and into the night
Okayiest Dad
Great place for fun and food! Had a blast here with my wife!
Lisa Reese
Great family place. Lots of outside venders.
David Lecklitner
I think. Didnt look around much. Seemed like a good place for youngsters. Went to the aquarium. Didn't look at anything else.
The_rawr _kid
Great place to visit! There's so much to do around here it's unbelievable! come and find out!
jayden adams
We went on a Wed at 11am. We Loved it. Would've been much more enjoyable if it werent so packed.
Kara Smith
Absolutely beautiful view! Loved everything the area had to offer. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stop if your driving through the area.
Tea Dardy
Went to see Aladdin in IMAX. I usually don't frequent AMC often, I spend most of my movie time at Cinemark, but I may start going here more. Lots of options at the concession stand but if you want to try the additional popcorn flavors go early. It's usually gone by the time the later showings start.
Dallas Sarris
My kiddo LOVED this little train! He had a blast and even wanted to ride a second time. Excellent deal for $4 bucks!
Karie Henson
Took out granddaughter to the Newport aquarium, she loved it
Andy Yang
Great place. Hopefully will relive its former glory days.
Michelle Wermuth
Love it! Really too bad that stores don't seem to stay.
Amit Chatterjee
Enjoyed my experience here for the day. Brought the kids. Nice facilities, easy garage parking, plenty of places to eat. Beautiful view of the Cincinnati skyline along the Ohio River. Nice way to spend the afternoon with the family.
Beth Hearn
Construction everywhere but I had a blast. I can't wait to come back!
nicole sutton
Went to the Aquarium, the candy store, spice store, bakery and the gaming store and boutique.. All amazing with wonderfully amazing people and service and even a sweet pup named gidget.. It was a great day all around for my friend and I's girls day.
Dottie Moore
Enjoyed my visit! Quite a few changes since my last visit when I lived in Cincy back in 2013.
James Williamson III
Nice waterfront spot. The elevators from the parking deck were really slow
AJ
Always a fun time! So many options for places to eat and things to do!
Greg Rios (GdawgBuzz)
Great views of the Cincinnati skyline!
Andrea Jones
Matthew, at the concession stand, was very helpful with information about all the attractions & discounts that you get when you buy the annual pass. He was very polite & greeted us when came in.
Lynda Sappington
Not what we expected. The Exchange had signs outside saying they had exciting things inside. Nope. Most of the store fronts were empty. We went into the art shop and were almost completely unimpressed by the artwork. The restaurants/bars around the outside ground level of the building seemed nice. There are chairs along the railing on top of the levee giving a great view of the river. The area was well-kept, clean, brightly painted and appealing on the outside.
Becky Harrison
Due to covid you must purchase timed tickets online or n person. I suggest online so your wait won't be as long. Vaccinated people did not have to wear mask. They did wipe down Interactive areas often. Great for adults and children. Wheelchair accessible
Trevor Roth
Pretty fun place to spend an afternoon. Aquarium, arcade, movie theater, and several different places to eat. Calling it a shopping center is a bit of a stretch as they've had trouble populating the indoor section it seems (like a lot of malls), and while there are a few stores, it's not a place to go to spend the day shopping. Even their flashy directory is fleshed out with a logistics company, a scrap recycling company, an attorney's office, etc. Don't get me wrong, it's a good place to go for food and entertainment. The "shops" are just an afterthought. Parking is easy. If you need a bathroom, you'll probably want to hold it until you're inside one of the restaurants or entertainment venues.
Cassandra Esposito
Lots of great things for kids and families. Easy and convenient parking. It's sad some of the restaurants haven't lasted though.
Andrew Ricketts
Updated and had free fun family activities!! A must
Keri Noll
Fun place, lots of places to eat. Aquarium. Movie theatre.
rachael
Brio on the Levee was a decent dinner spot.
It was crowded on a Saturday night and we had a two hour wait. I ordered the Ravioli Di Bello, it was BEYOND DELICIOUS!! Such great flavor! Generous portions. The bread was great too!! I ordered a peach lemonade (it has a fancier name, but not worth remembering), I wouldn't do it again.
This place is wheelchair accessible, but the tables and bar make it EXTREMELY difficult to navigate. The bathrooms would be a little aggravating for someone in a wheelchair because the doors are so large.
I would go back again, but only for the food. The ambiance and service were mediocre at best.
Andre Cartier
Many convenient restaurants and aquarium also offers weekend local festivals along the river
Great views along the river
Sher M
I only walked through on the way to the Newport Aquarium. Great view of the river and several different shops, restaurants and places to hang out. Parking garage on-site.
BeastQueen27
It's great to see this place come back to life after becoming a shell of it's former glory. It is more adult driven now so I wouldn't recommend bringing young ones.
J Chev
Went to the aquarium it was fantastic .Pretty cheap to park a lot of food options right there and it's right on the river so it's scenic
derek “D” p
Aquarium was awesome. The family had a good time and got to see a few other unexpected animals. However eating there was a cheap overpriced disaster. I can't have a lid and straw? And on a lobby table with kids meant of course disaster. Food quality was residential living bad. Aquariums cool as heck though.
Darwin Elliott
Took my granddaughter! We had a great time!
Javier Player
Great views a lot of stuff to do restaurants Newport Aquarium IMAX theater must see
melissa renfro-brumley
River was UP! great place for a walk or a train ride!
Tammy Atkins
The aquarium is amazing! Great fun for the whole family. The dining choices were ok. Not happy that everything closes so early. The sweet shoppe had a sign that said they closed at 7pm and they were locked up before 6:30 :(
Isaac “Ic” Jackson
Was a cold cold night.. 19⁰ but Brothers out the warm back in my soul! Cheers to beers! Eat your heart out and enjoy the game! Even tho the mall was void of people, the restaurant was vibrant and ready for a crowd. The food was great and the view was spectacular! I'll be back fo sho
Marvetta McDougall
We did shopping at the Sugar Candy shop and they had a large selection of candy. It smelled like cotton candy in the shop, yum. They had fudge, vanilla taffy that I haven't found anywhere. Needless to say I was excited to find it. Very fun shop.
Cayla Scott
Went to AMC theater to watch batman. I love this theater due to the sound!! Its great. But it must have been 100 degrees in there last night I had to go all the way outside to get fresh air 3 times I was sweating even in a t shirt the whole group I was with was going through the dame thing and I could see others since I was at very top taking off hoodies and fanning themselves. I didn't get to enjoy the movie at all die to feel like I was suffocating with heat.!! Please fix this. Made the movie horrible to sit thro.
B T
Great place great drink amazing view. You can walk along the river
Stephanie Crady
We always love the experience here. Everything was so beautiful and while we did not get to use the the covered seating areas looked so cool and like they would have stayed cozy.
Space Man
Visiting from out of town and this area was a cool spot to spend a few hours walking through stores. Came with a small child so didn't experience the night life here but there are bunch of bars centered in the courtyard which I imagine would be a pretty good vibe.
MR. 8400
Was a great aquarium. Took a couple hours to get all the way through. Lots of species! Had a great time with the family and would love to revisit. Was semi expensive venture to take the family on, but a great experince!
Rachel James
Great live music beautiful views lots to do
Vanessa Gillette
Nice array of things to do here. Beautiful scenery. A must visit in the area. Parking in garage near it.
Rebecca Vibbert
We love the aquarium @ Newport. Our daughter is a member & that gets her 15% off gift shops/attractions. The exhibits are interactive and interesting.During covid they allow timed spots so you can go thru with out a ton of people. Restrooms are clean & facilities are constantly being updated.
MissMandyy
the aquarium and candy shop is soo much fun! highly recommend
Savage Reacts Gaming
Always have fun coming down her with family and friends.
This is where I come every year to see the WEBN fireworks
Will Soto
This city has been elevated by the cooperation of city leaders listening to locals who care and contribute to its growth.
10/18/2022:
I am not sure the Levee helps Newport. Ite has taken business away from local shops/restaurants. Although, it could be remedied by concerted effort from the community and local government.
Tracey Haas
There was a lot of "construction" going on. A lot of yellow tape blocking off areas so you had a very narrow path in which to walk so you were forced to walk closer to others and that didn't seem to comply with covid distancing guidelines. However it was awesome to see staff enforce the rules of minors needing to be accompanied by an adult. The movie was awesome and love those reclining seats! When "construction" is finished it will once again be a great place to just walk around enjoy time with family and get your face painted!
Olivia Stout
Loved it, well spaced out. Feel like there's potential for more. But it's definitely a good experience
Denise Elizabeth Lewis (KneeC)
This place was great! Nice little shops to walk around to, see the beautiful boats on the water, everyone was very friendly! The Newport Aquarium was a big disappointment! Most exhibits were closed and i think we seen a total of 3 sharks the entire time of being there.
James Raleigh
Ever since the renovations The Levee has been granted a new lease on life. A great place to bring friends and have a great time with the community.
Robin Johnson
Always a good time. The updates they’ve done recently are wonderful. There are lots of fun options for kids and food options for the adults. Finding your way around during construction is a little confusing but worth it!
Ryan Robbins
Went here on a Tuesday afternoon and I can't imagine how amazing it would be on a weekend night!
Lovell “Brownsuga Babe” Brown
Hit the aquarium
Watch a movie
Get in some shopping
Grab a bite to eat
All in one place
Laurelei Black
Lots of fun! Plenty to see, do, and taste. Love Black Market Saloon. I got a lavender rum lemonade that was the hit of of group!! The blackberry vodka lemonade was pretty nice, too.
Juniper Ambience
Our first visit. We had an amazing time. Reservation process was easy. Annual passes with discounts is the way to go. Nice location. Friendly staff and they cleaned as patrons toured the facility.
Jay P
Clean. Wish Louisville had something like this.
Tiffany lee
Kids had fun playing the big connect 4 and eating ice cream. Cool environment.
Robert Wince
One of the best aquariums that I have been to. My family and I loved it. My son had a blast with all the sea creatures and touching the rays. Would recommend this place to anyone that love sea life or has children that does. All of the staff here was very nice.
Shelly Blazer
We were impressed with all the great things here
Mark Stoltz
Nice mall with very comfortable seating in the main lobby. Also 2 ping pong tables and a cornhole game set out to play.
Karen Tabor
Fun area with cute shops, restaurants and entertainment. Has a little bit of everything.
Jason Bennett
Went to see The Batman @AMC today, well the elevator from the parking garage was working the elevator inside to AMC was not, nor were the escalators. When we went to buy our tickets the machine spit out blank paper so we couldn't even get our parking validated.
Jay M.
A lot to do but the bullcrap Newport charge on my receipts just sucks. It makes it hard to go there when they stick it in you on all receipts. Get your greedy hands out of the pot City of Newport, you're making it hard to enjoy when you're being screwed at the same time.
Denise Strunk
Went on the new Cincy Bus Tour that started on the Levee. It was fun, entertaining and informative. Took us around Newport and over the Bridge to Cincinnati. We stopped at different locations and learned the history of each area. We made a short stop at Union Terminal. A Holocaust Exhibit was there on the main floor. What we glimpsed was horrendous but they honored the liberators, the survivors and the poor souls that didn't survive. Very moving. Will go back there to explore another day.
They use a big video screen above the driver to explain where we were and what the background story was.
This was a wonderful way to explore the city we love. We did the tour for our Anniversary. Brought back a lot of special memories.
Highly recommend the tour.
Demetra Dean
My first time visiting and my children and family loved it! We celebrated our kids birthday and loved seeing all the little and big creatures of the sea! Loved that we were able to see the mamals underneath our feet. Must see!
Jackie Baty
Please, don't get me wrong, the animals were absolutely amazing. Beautiful, delicate and some scary creatures and all just as cool as the last one. Staff was so sweet when you got a chance to see them. So to what I didn't really jive with was these are learning and interactive exhibits, all the live interactions were closed but 1 and all the play areas were closed. There was 2 people downstairs that was explaining about to of the live attractions, the small sharks and the rays. You couldn't understand the woman with the rays, her mic was totally messed up, gave me a migraine. The young man that were with the tiny sharks (the ONLY open live interaction in the entire place) but the young man looked and acted liked he was as baked as a cake. I mean, I'm not saying I'm against smoking weed but don't be baked at the work place. But besides that, the ONLY live attraction (tiny sharks) were all in a pool so deep that no child could even reach them. We DID have a good day, we didn't let all that get to us so don't feel like you ruined our day but at least if you don't have an entire attraction running, give discounts or maybe even 1 complementary picture. It's not fair to pay full price for half the attraction.
Amy Linton
Love this place, great place to walk, shop & eat.
Justine
The new renovations at Newport are stunning! The inside mall and outside boxcar/seating areas are so beautiful. Cute seating areas available throughout. I've enjoyed live music both inside and outside, and the riverside location provides a great view of downtown Cincinnati. There are also a variety of nice river walk options in Newport and Cincinnati, connected by the Purple People Bridge.
Rose Peters
Enjoyed our time there with friends.
Gwen Stuart
Lots to do. Easy parking. Great views.
Gilberto Ramirez Pinheiro
Walking from one state to a other is something I'm not used to. I m here visiting Cincinnati and I just fell in love with this area. Its urban surrounded by forest and Rural communities. And every one is super friendly...
Bruce Cobaugh
This place is absolutely amazing a must-see
Nancy Cooper
The building is looking empty and the seating in the theater needs updating, but it’s a beautiful place for dinner and a walk along the river. Beautiful views of the city.
