Rick HantonNovember 24, 2012If 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 AmericaOctober 4, 2011SEA 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
RavenSeptember 10, 2014Do 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 LenoxOctober 9, 2018They 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!
YusAugust 12, 2014Highly recommend the behind the scenes tour including breathtaking views of from above the tanks.
Kristin MalinowskiJanuary 11, 2012Half 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 ChenardSeptember 17, 2014Good for a date day. My gf had fun here. Especially when it is cold outside this is a nice alternative to bars and clubs.
PezJuly 27, 2013You 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 MillerOctober 17, 2015This place was awesome! We paid $5 to feed the Rays some shrimp. Very cool experience.
Michael CNovember 2, 2019Great for a trip visit, but the cost vs. brief experience won't bring us back.- each feeding bowl for the stingrays has a shrimp and a little minnow
Debra StaackMarch 24, 2013Try to go when the tour is going to start, the place clears out quickly. Gift shop prices are unbelievable.
- Josh KJune 24, 2012Behind the scenes tour is well worth the extra $7. Look for discount admission coupons near the north entrance to the mall.
- colorful poisonous frogs are the highlight of the rainforest section
Jeremy SchwalbachJanuary 16, 2012Its 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
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 ZetzmanJune 19, 2012Lots 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.- 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 AquariumOctober 26, 2011Check out the Ghost Hunt on Thursday and Sunday nights, or maybe just stop by for a treat on Halloween!
- another "Claws" monstrosity: the land dwelling coconut crab
Jessica BaileyDecember 20, 2012So expensive....but fun. I would buy tickets online first or find coupons through the Mall
Oscar W¡ldJuly 13, 2011Buy tickets online and save $5.. You can do it now from your cellphone on their website!- awesome aquarium experience! take advantage of the all-day pass! you see something new each time!
Adam NoriAugust 16, 2011Awesome place to check out! See if you can spot the shark in the tropicals section!
Melissa BurkeyAugust 3, 2011Best aquarium! Be sure to pick up a coupon they have scattered throughout the mall.- i never realized horseshoe crabs had a bunch of weird little legs
Erik EDecember 30, 2014Pricy for what you get. Don't go during the weekend or during a school break. Find coupons!
- Check out the behind the scenes tour! It's my favorite part!
