Hatfield Marine Science Center Visitor Center
Located near the Oregon Coast Aquarium, this marine research facility of Oregon State University has a few interesting exhibits on life in Oregon’s coastal waters. It’s academic and science-oriented, geared to current topics in environmental and marine research, but the giant Pacific octopi are definitely worth visiting, and there are other marine-related exhibits as well. If your time in Newport is limited, visit the Oregon Coast Aquarium and don’t worry about missing this.
