Assorted shops offering all kinds of hand made treasures. Great place to check out after going to the aquarium.

We didnt go inside but we drove around the beautifully painted and themed buildings. We considered going inside for a minute but worried the toddler would damage the hand-crafted merchandise.

So the hours for this place are very weird, but the shops are eclectic and fun. Rooster rocks is absolutely the best, the gentleman who owns it has an incredible encyclopedic knowledge of what he carries and seemed to take a real intrude delight in telling the children all about it. His youngest grandson was working there and was also very inviting and really great with the kids. If your kids are at all in the rock loving phase, or if you make jewelry or want to find a really unique coaster, table or accent piece this is the place.

Very fun antique and souvenir store. This store has many vendor owned booths with a wide variety of goods.

Eclectic flavor for those looking for something off the beaten path. You can always find that something you didnt know you needed or wanted till you see it. We always stop when visiting Newport.

Super cute place with great shops. However, theyre not all open daily. Only a few are usually open at any given time. The petting zoo is also here and is really awesome.

Title suffering from the downturn in aquarium visitors. Honest people trying to make an honest living but seems like time has passed it by. Some of the artwork is outright scary. They should try a rebrand: the haunted.

This is the most creepy place we went on vacation. It is odd. There are a few cool shops there. A pottery shop where the man who owned it was super friendly and a rock shop that was fascinating. The entire village felt off to me though.

Super fun quirky, out-of-the-way, place to find all sorts of one-of-a-kind items, vintage and thrift store items... Really anything you would could ever want to find while on vacation in a fun little spot of town. Good for kids and adults alike, theres plenty to do and tons of fun to be had! There are artists and consignment shops, theres an indoor bouncy house, a petting zoo, even a Cafe that makes homemade donuts, they are amazing!

This place feels like you’ve fallen through a hole in time and have wound up in a different universe which is similar enough to ours that you can get around but different enough that you know you’re not in Kansas anymore. The shops aren’t different from any other tourist trap on the coast, but the owners are all super friendly. We stopped and talked to Jac Genovese for a while and looked at his pottery. His paintings around the village are also pretty fun. The guy who runs the rock shop is also super sweet. I’m not convinced that they are not a wizard and a dwarf. The “zoo” was closed when we were there, but I am skeptical that it’s an actual zoo. It’s worth a short stop after you visit the aquarium.

If you go to Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, OR, you should stop by at Aquarium Village.It is 0.3 miles from Oregon Coast Aquarium. Their address is 3101 SE Ferry Slip Rd, Newport, OR 97365, if you need to type in your GPS.It is an interesting place, at least to stop by and take photos or selfies.

A cute area and has many small shops.

Little tourist spot with shops, eateries, and the most awesome petting zoo ever. Great exotic animals all housed indoors. If you are in the market for unique gifts, this is a great place to check out. Celtic Thunder and its owner is awesome. Fun little spot for the wee ones, especially if they arrrrrrr into pirates and pirate themed things.

Review №81

This place is so cute! It really seems like everybody working in these shops is committed to giving kids a great and memorable time. The bouncy house place is awesome and I could spend hours in any of the antique or craft shops. It could do with a couple more interactive attractions for kids around their teens and up, but the fact this place exists at all is pretty spectacular. I love all of the decorations and old pirate Mannequins. It does seem like a couple of the stores are deteriorating so I hope enough folks are paying them a visit so that they continue their upkeep. I hope to visit again soon! Theres certainly more for me to see in both the Aquarium and the village.

Awesome area but its so easy to miss! Pull off highway 101 if you have time and check out some of these fun shops. We went to the hot shop and had a class on how to glass slow an ornament but there are tons of other shops too if that doesnt float your boat!

Review №99

I did not expect much from this place. Thought I would see a bunch of animals that were common pets. I was wrong. They had a lot of really cool animals. Most of them you can interact with and the kids love it. Staff were helpful and knowledgeable. Unfortunately they are always growing and adding because people get exotic pets and can not take care of them so this is where they go.

Pirates plunder has tons of cool stuff. Scored this ring for $20 the other day! Awesome earrings for cheap.. huuuge variety! Cell phone cases, natical stuff, resale clothing for $5, think I even saw some old comics last time. I could list so many things. But thats just one store out of many! Indoor bounce house for kids right next door. Cool rock shop with an awesome old guy named rooster that owns it. Super knowledgeable and hes a hoot. Face painting and airbrushing located close by him. Theres seriously everything in these shops. The store owners dont get enough recognition. Go check it out! Oh and theres a rad petting zoo. They have a porcupine that you would think was a dog or cat... Go scratch his chin he digs it.
