This summer, the Newport Aquarium will change the way you think about frogs. “The Frog Bog,” opening May 23, features unique and wonderful animals with fun and new interactive components for kids to enjoy. This exhibit, which will run through December 2009, has 30 different kinds of frogs and many hands-on, visual and sound-rich experiences that highlight different senses and replicate the frog habitat.

Kids can learn all about frogs with activities including three-foot-tall musical frog replicas that will “sing” when children play with them. The Aquarium will provide an updated Frogger-type video game with an interactive pad for kids to jump on. Another interactive area demonstrates amphibian habitat destruction. There will also be an area that allows kids to explore exhibits while climbing through tunnels, walking through tubes and sliding down a slide.
