by KYW's Ed Kasuba
The company that owns the Ride the Duck amphibious tours in Philadelphia is now interested in owning the Adventure Aquarium in Camden.
Steiner and Associates hopes to complete a deal by the end of October that would sell both the Adventure Aquarium in Camden and the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky to the Herschend Family Entertainment Group.
Herschend spokesperson Valerie McCarty says the aquarium would compliment what the company already does in Philadelphia.
“The Philadelphia market we already are working with, the Ride the Ducks is part of our company, but certainly we would like to diversify into different markets. So coming into the market was very interesting to us.”
Steiner would continue its involvement in 27 acres of land north of the aquarium, which is earmarked for housing and a town square.
