COMING WINTER 2024:
A New Save The Bay Aquarium
In September 2021, Save The Bay made headlines with the news that we had entered into agreements with the City of Newport and the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority to move our Exploration Center and Aquarium—currently located at Easton’s Beach—to the first floor of the Gateway Transportation and Visitors Center on America’s Cup Avenue.
The exciting task of renovating the space and building a new Aquarium is already underway, and we look forward to opening our doors in Winter 2024. In the meantime, we recommend checking this page frequently, as we will continue to provide updates and sneak peeks over the course of the project.
Our Exploration Center and Aquarium at Easton’s Beach is now closed to the public. Thank you to all those who made this location a success over the years!
