+1 for Newport Aq. Went earlier this yr. Did not see any "no gun" signs althouth they were glancing in peoples bags.
downtown Indy is great too during the daylight staying on the main pathThanks. This gives me something to think about then. If it's similar to Indy, it may not be too bad. But then again, I HATE going to Indy...
The area surrounding the Aquarium is sketchy at night, the area around the zoo is sketch at best, and the area around the casino is terrible! Sinc you're not going to the casino, don't worry, stay aware, and have fun! A second for the Duck Boats!
ETA: We're actually taking my daughter to her first visit to Newport Aquarium Saturday, then coming back Sunday stopping in Connersville for a "Day out with Thomas the Train".
