What To Expect

Mall of America

Located at the Mall of America in Bloomington, just south of Minneapolis, SEA LIFE Minnesota is home to a variety of unique marine displays and activities and some 10,000 sea creatures.

SEA LIFE at Mall of America

Visitors of all ages will gain a new understanding of the world's oceans through the aquarium's ocean tanks, Octopus Garden and rock pool, where you’ll see animals never before seen in Minnesota, and learn about marine conservation. Make your way through interactive exhibits such as Claws, where you’ll find Japanese spider crabs — just one of the many crustaceans featured here. Discover coconut crabs, which use their huge claws like bolt cutters to crack open coconuts and be awed by porcupine crabs, land crabs and more as you get up-close views of how they eat. Spot clown fish and sea turtles and watch jellyfish floating inside cylindrical tanks that mimic ocean tides and currents. At the Pacific Northwest display, you can learn about sea anemones, cucumbers and sea stars. As you walk through the 300-foot-long (91-meter) tunnel, sandtiger sharks flash rows of sharp teeth above your head and cownose rays glide on the aquarium floor. Make your way to four themed tanks, starting with hundreds of sea creatures like nurse, zebra, and bamboo sharks that swim around in the Rainbow Reef tank. Marvel at green sawfish, loggerhead turtles, and guitarfish at Atlantis; see arapaima and tiger shovelnose catfish at the Amazon River; and check out alligator gar, paddlefish, and large-mouth bass at Sturgeon Lake. Passionate about preserving marine habitats and the species that live in them, the informative staff at SEA LIFE Minnesota celebrates everything about the sea. The aquarium hosts shark and ray feedings, as well as educational demonstrations throughout the day. Learn about successful breeding programs for sharks and endangered creatures like seahorses, and discover how the aquarium supports global conservation efforts.

The experience was amazing until the final activity—the 3D segment. Unfortunately, the lady in charge didn’t explain to the kids how to adjust the goggles, which led to a poor experience for them. The goggles were also loose for me, but I managed to adjust them while using them. However, because I was wearing the goggles, I couldn’t check on my kids. After the video, they told me they couldn’t see anything because the 3D glasses kept slipping off. A bit more training for the staff and a quick 30-second explanation to customers could have made all the difference. Sadly, this small oversight impacted the entire experience, as the kids were quite upset.

My brother and I went last year and were disappointed. We went on the tour and the guy did a horrible job. For the price it would have been better going to Duluth to there under the sea water. Don't recommend it.

There 8 of us met at MOA to go through Sea Life together. I had seen it over 20 years ago, so thought it would be worthwhile going through it again. I am not really one to do this kind of thing, but my wife and I were with family members and another family with two young kids, so it was fun watching the little kids enjoy it. We were here on Saturday, December 14, 2024 and entered at 3:30 pm. The others bought advance tickets, but my wife and I did not. We bought our tickets at a kiosk near the entry and had no waiting to get in. I think most people spend about an hour going through. I see some reviewers here gave a bad review and also say they spend less than 30 minutes going through. I would think about 1-1/2 to 2 hours is about right. Plenty to see and of course the underwater tunnel is the most fun. It really wasn't too crowded at all on a busy Saturday near Christmas. Our cost was about $27 each, you really need to enjoy sea creatures to see the value. My favorites were the loggerhead turtle and the seahorses, also many species you would never see out in the wild oceans.
