SEA LIFE at Mall of America

Amazing experience! It’s really great value and honestly one of the cleanest aquariums i have ever visited. The water is pristine, and all of the aquatic life is clearly visible. Really enjoyed the experience and would most assuredly come back again if I’m ever in Minnesota in the future.

We drove 7 hrs to come to Sea Life and it was all and above our expectations. AMAZING! Our favorite part was the tunnel top and being able to walk through and see under all the sharks etc. The jellyfish exhibit was beautiful. We fed shrimp to the stingray and touched sea urchins and man that water was cold lol. Fun for the whole family. Well worth the drive and unlimited trips through, for the day. We got our family photo at the end.

A truly phenomenal aquarium to visit. It’s not a huge aquarium by any means but what it does have is this long underwater tunnel. It absolutely makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. I don’t remember how long that tunnel was but it felt like I was in there for hours, there’s so much to see.

This was an amazing experience for the kiddos!! They had so much fun while learning about love in the sea! 💙 We did go on a Saturday so it was a little busy but not bad! Even though we didn’t purchase the adventure packs they were still given little pamphlets to collect stamps throughout the tour that they could turn in at the end for a little prize! The best part was our tickets were good for the entire day! So we went through a couple times! 💙 My youngest son has special needs and requires a large wagon to be able to do outings I was so pleased that the path was wide enough to accommodate our needs! It was also very convenient that there are elevators located at the beginning and the end of the tour to avoid the escalator hassle! 💙 10 out of 10 definitely recommend to everyone with kids and special needs 💙

Great time here looking at some aquatic animal life here in the mall. The staff were informative, the exhibits were well organized, and it was worth the price, despite the tickets being ~$25 each. I liked the tunnel with the animals swimming above and bar the tunnel, with the beautiful and unique sharks, turtles, sting rays, and fish. The rest of the experience was fun with other wildlife being shown. Would recommend stopping by this aquarium at the Mall of America as a good time consumer for the day.

Sea life was great! A little overpriced in my opinion but what isn’t these days? I highly recommend getting tickets in advance, you can normally get better deals and bundle. We got there right at 10am on a Saturday and it wasn’t too busy! Staff were friendly and it was clean. Make sure you go to the bathroom before you start because there isn’t another until the end. My 7 year old had a blast and it was really the perfect way to start the day. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

We had a great time at SEA LIFE in the Mall of America. It’s not a huge aquarium, but there’s a surprising variety of sea creatures to check out. It’s easy to get to — especially if you’re coming in on the light rail, since it’s right near that entrance.

One thing we liked is that your ticket is good for the whole day, so you can come back later if you want a break from shopping. Our teens thought it was cool too, which is always a win.

If you’re already at the mall, it’s a fun little escape and definitely worth stopping by.

The rating: Overall, we had a good time. A good attraction to visit.

The good: The enclosures are well designed and look cool. The aquatic residence are active and healthy. The tide pool educator was very friendly and answered all or questions. (Thanks Preston)
I really like the parts where you could pop your head up in a bubble to see the animals up close.

The iffy: The aquarium tunnel gets REALLY loud when it’s busy. Don’t go if you have any claustrophobic tendencies.
