Great experiences - My wife and I went as part of an overnight trip in Minneapolis. Loved the aquarium, it was her first time ever going to one and she was amazed. On top of the basic experience an employee overheard my wife wanting to feed some of the manta at the end of the attraction and took us to the area above the tunnels for the main aquariums and told us about all the different sharks, turtles and such and let her feed them. It made it a truly one of a kind experience for her and she was glowing the entire rest of the day!

Underwater Tunnel - I loved Sea Life. There were spiders and snakes in addition to the aquarium. I enjoyed the underwater tunnel the most. Being there and seeing the fish up close is something I'll never forget. Especially the video I took of the small shark slowly approaching.

Perfect for a family day out! - The exhibits were super well done, especially the underwater tunnel where you can see sharks and stingrays swimming right above you. I loved checking out the jellyfish display; they were so mesmerizing in their glowing tanks. The interactive touch pools were fun too, letting you feel some sea stars and other creatures. Plus, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, ready to share interesting facts. It’s a perfect spot to spend a few hours, especially if you’re with kids or just love marine life!

An Amazing Aquarium in the Mall of America - My partner and I participated in the VIP tour. Vanessa, our Behind the Scenes tour guide was knowledgeable, accommodating and kind. She emphasized the importance of ocean conservation and protecting sea life. The actual tour was great. There were so much sea life and other creatures to see. The experts that were featured in different sections of the tour were very engaging.

Nicely done, but quite expensive - 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.

Good way to spend an hour. - I had an overnight stay at a hotel attached to the Mall of America and, if you find yourself in the same situation, then the aquarium is a decent way to spend an hour. There are certainly better aquariums elsewhere but, for $26, this was about as good as I could have hoped. This is probably the most enjoyable attraction for adults at the Mall of America.

Great Experience Marred by Poor 3D Goggles Setup - 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.

Sea life - 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.
