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.

Around the winter holidays, there was a special promo that for X amount spent at the MOA, one could turn in receipts for a free pass to the Sea Life exhibit at MOA. So I enjoyed it, but even with free tickets, I would not go again and looking at the prices we would have paid for the experience, I would have thought the tickets were over-priced honestly. That said, the set-up was fun. If you have patience and are willing to stay in the same place for quite a while (and not just get pushed along by the crowd) one will get to see a lot of views of the sea life and probably get some decent photos (even through the glass). It's definitely a good activity for younger kids/families with younger kids, especially if perhaps one is visiting MOA (from somewhere else) and staying on-site.

For all the hype, it was a total let-down. The legitimate sea life portion was alright, but there could've been more. It was pretty small and for the admission cost to be so high, not worth the price tag. The layout was cool looking, but I went to be intrigued by the aquatic life, not the design. I've been to zoos for less that had bigger, better aquariums.

Had a pretty good time doing a solo tour of the facility. Pros: Well Versed, Friendly Staff Very Walkable Admission is good for multiple trips during the day. Location in MoA makes for a great distraction. Easily Accessible from public transit. Good variety of aquatic and terrestrial life Kid friendly Educational Cons: Pricey, about 26 dollars per adult admission, children are close to twenty. Despite the 300 foot shark tunnel, it's a bit of a short tour. Probably took less than an hour to walk the whole aquarium. Overall: Fun experience, I recommend going during the week if possible. The animals are a lot more active and excitable. Even caught the caimans eating on film. Would recommend. Special shout outs to rangers Jenna, Sandy and Pete for making my experience super memorable. If you're a visual type of person, I suggest watching a video of my tour to get the full picture (https://youtu.be/ABXG5oWoeKU) (Hopefully that's OK by TA Standards, if not please remove from review) Cheers
