Aquarium Village is a quirky arts shopping area just south of the Newport Bay Aquarium. Old fiberglass pirate statues and seaport roadside attraction-esque sea creatures decorate the outside of funky art studios resembling old ships. There's an array of beautiful murals, and even a cow shark eating a human leg!

Aquarium Village is a once industrial area which is now a group of nautically themed shops. The shops are built to look like ships at the dock, Tiki Huts, and Pirate Ships. They are all brightly painted and it all looks pretty neat. This is built very close to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, which used to house Keiko the Killer Whale, of Free Willy fame.
The area also has statues of "Nessie the Yaquina Bay Sea Monster," "Wally the Walrus" and an orca, which is probably suppose to be Keiko.
