If you buy tickets online, you can do a behind the scenes tour for about $5/person. Well worth it. You see any animals not in tanks and also can more easily see where the turtles and sharks hang out.

Mall of America

SEA LIFE is the perfect break from all of that shopping. Come closer to more than 10,000 sea creatures , including sharks , sea turtles , rays, jellyfish , seahorses and much more! Read more

Raven

Do take the "Behind the Scenes" tour . You'll get to see the aquarium from the top and feed the fish . Sharks feeding is on Tues, Thurs and Sun.

Arielle Lenox

They have a walkway where you are surrounded by water and fish on 3 sides where sharks swim overhead! This is definitely a favorite activity for kids!

Yus

Highly recommend the behind the scenes tour including breathtaking views of from above the tanks.

Kristin Malinowski

Half price adult tickets online. You don't need to print them out as long as you have the number on from the tickets. You can go as many times during that day as you want :)

Edward Chenard

Good for a date day. My gf had fun here. Especially when it is cold outside this is a nice alternative to bars and clubs.

Lovely G.

Simply amazing...great for the family or a date so many animals to see

Pez

You may pet starfish and crabs and may see a giant lobster . Online, I learned that you can pay to sleep overnight in the aquarium with the sharks . Well , admissions seems rather pricey .

last section of aquarium highlights local freshwater fish like walleye and muskellunge

special exhibit "Claws" highlights the monstrous japanese spider crab

Sean Miller

This place was awesome! We paid $5 to feed the Rays some shrimp . Very cool experience.

Michael C

Great for a trip visit, but the cost vs. brief experience won't bring us back.

Nate Folkert

each feeding bowl for the stingrays has a shrimp and a little minnow

Debra Staack

Try to go when the tour is going to start, the place clears out quickly. Gift shop prices are unbelievable.

Aapple Le

Beautiful aquarium ! Loved how lengthy the over glass view is.

Josh K

Behind the scenes tour is well worth the extra $7. Look for discount admission coupons near the north entrance to the mall .

Nate Folkert

colorful poisonous frogs are the highlight of the rainforest section

Jeremy Schwalbach

Its annoying when its busy and a bunch of kids are running around screaming but still a good time. Go mid week and its like having it all to yourself

C

Take lots of pictures & feed the stingrays ! Definitely worth it.

Matilda Elfvin

Something for everybody, young and old. Pretty expensive but worth it

Belva Burga

You can go through as many times as you want! We average 3 times! We have a family pass and got our moneys worth!

Andy Zetzman

Lots of fish to see, but $20 for an adult is beyond excessive. Not to mention that my hallways at home are wider than they are here.

Nate Folkert

feed a stingray ! they don't have teeth; it just feels like a weird slurpy vacuum sucking shrimp out of your hand

SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium

Check out the Ghost Hunt on Thursday and Sunday nights, or maybe just stop by for a treat on Halloween !

David Simmons

Pricey , but really great attraction . Great break in shopping.

Kimberly Paul

Tickets are cheaper if you get them online ahead of time :)

Nate Folkert

another "Claws" monstrosity: the land dwelling coconut crab

Jessica Bailey

So expensive ....but fun. I would buy tickets online first or find coupons through the Mall

Oscar W¡ld

Buy tickets online and save $5.. You can do it now from your cellphone on their website!

Tammy C

Awesome place to check out! See if you can spot the shark in the tropicals section!

Nate Folkert

i never realized horseshoe crabs had a bunch of weird little legs

Melissa Burkey

Best aquarium ! Be sure to pick up a coupon they have scattered throughout the mall .

Had a great time with the wife and kids

Madeline Stevens

You can pet and feed the sting rays
