🗣️ SEA LIFE at Mall of America: Reviews
Positive experience: It is very small. There is a dome of sturgeon. A dome of salt water fish and a dome of sharks. Then you ste l down to jellyfish and sea horses. There is a sting ray spot they charge you $5 for 1 shrimp to drop in in the tank. I wouldn't go back. The one in new jersey was nicer.

Positive experience: Way overpriced for a small aquarium that takes 45 minutes to walk through. Do yourself a favor and buy the coupon book at the mall and use the $7 off coupon for the after 4 arrival time. You have to buy your tickets online.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! It's really great value and honestly one of the cleanest aquariums i have ever visited. The water is pristine, and all of the aquatic life is clearly visible. Really enjoyed the experience and would most assuredly come back again if I'm ever in Minnesota in the future.
Hey Thommy! Wow, your review just made our day! We're absolutely thrilled to see that you had an amazing experience at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. It's fantastic to know that you found our aquarium to be one of the cleanest you've ever visited and that the water was crystal clear for you to enjoy observing our sea creatures. We put a lot of love and care into maintaining our exhibits, and it's awesome to see it shine through in your visit. We'd be over the moon to welcome you back whenever you're in Minnesota again. Until then, keep swimming in good vibes!
Fantastic experience: Small, fun little aquarium at the Mall of America. Try to go when it's first open, otherwise I assume it would be too busy to really stop and see anything. Great variety of sea life, with a quiet space about half way through featuring coloring activities. There are quite a few stopping points as well with little bubbles for the kiddos to pop into the exhibits.
Hi Leslie! Thanks a splash for your fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to see you had a whale of a time exploring our little underwater world at the Mall of America. Visiting early is a great tip for a more serene experience, and we're glad you enjoyed the variety of sea life and the coloring activities. We hope to sea you again soon for another adventure!
Fantastic experience: This was an amazing experience for the kiddos!! They had so much fun while learning about love in the sea! We did go on a Saturday so it was a little busy but not bad! Even though we didn't purchase the adventure packs they were still given little pamphlets to collect stamps throughout the tour that they could turn in at the end for a little prize! The best part was our tickets were good for the entire day! So we went through a couple times! My youngest son has special needs and requires a large wagon to be able to do outings I was so pleased that the path was wide enough to accommodate our needs! It was also very convenient that there are elevators located at the beginning and the end of the tour to avoid the escalator hassle! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend to everyone with kids and special needs
Hi Melissa, Wow, your review made our day! We're thrilled to hear that you and your kiddos had such an amazing time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. It's fantastic that you found the experience both fun and educational, and we're so glad the little pamphlets and stamps added to the adventure! We understand how important accessibility is, and we're delighted to know that our paths and elevators made your visit more comfortable for your family. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the aquarium walkthrough multiple times in one day! Thank you for recommending us to other families, especially those with special needs. We can't wait to welcome you all back for more underwater fun! Wishing you and your family many more exciting adventures.
Fantastic experience: What a cool and fun experience. I was hesitant to do an aquarium at a mall but l was proven wrong. This was amazing, I was left awestruck.
Hey Frank D! Wow, your review just made our day! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a cool and fun experience at SEA LIFE at Mall of America.

Thanks for diving into the adventure with us, and we hope to see you swimming by again soon for more underwater fun!
Fantastic experience: I've been to many many aquariums all over the United States but I believe this was the best one

We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you think SEA LIFE at Mall of America is the best aquarium you've visited in the U.S. That's a huge compliment, and we're swimming in happiness over here!

Fantastic experience: Incredibly interactive and intriguing display of marine life. Amazing for the kids to learn and question about our aquatic ecosystem.

It's fantastic to know that our exhibits sparked curiosity and learning about the aquatic ecosystem. We love creating an engaging experience for all our visitors, especially the little ones.

Fantastic experience: We wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude (all the way from Texas) for the exceptional care and support Cato provided to both us and our child during our visit today. Her kindness, patience, and professionalism made a lasting impression on us. As parents of a child with special needs, it means the world to encounter someone who not only understands the importance of compassion and adaptability but also demonstrates it so naturally and consistently. She created an environment where our child felt seen, safe, and supported—and for that, we will always be grateful. It is rare to come across someone who brings such genuine warmth and dedication to their role. Her actions went above and beyond what was expected, and she did not go unnoticed. She turned what could have been a challenging situation into one that was positive and reassuring—for both all us. This afternoon (June 21, 2025), Cato was conducting a demonstration about turtle shells when she noticed our daughter was inconsolable. In an attempt to console our daughter, she offered to let her hold a turtle plush toy. Our daughter was extremely over stimulated during the visit so we decided to leave. Before leaving, Cato caught up to us and delivered a new plush toy to our baby! Cato, thank you again for your incredible support. You truly made a difference, and we are fortunate to have had you by our side today. With sincere appreciation, Mr. & Mrs. Marco Thomas
Hi Felicia, Wow, reading your heartfelt review truly made our day! We're absolutely thrilled to hear about the wonderful experience you had with Cato during your visit to SEA LIFE at Mall of America. It's stories like yours that remind us why we do what we do. Cato is indeed a gem, and we're so proud to have her on our team. Her ability to connect with families and provide such genuine care is something we deeply value. We're delighted to know that she was able to make your visit special and comforting, especially for your daughter. The turtle plush toy moment sounds absolutely precious! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience all the way from Texas. We hope to welcome you and your family back for more magical moments in the future. Until then, sending you lots of SEA LIFE love!
Positive experience: Fun but overpriced. You would think they would space you out a little more, but it was so crowded it was hard to relax and enjoy. Cool once, probably won't go again. The MN zoo is easier to get around, and cheaper!
Hi Jacob, Thanks for swimming by and sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear you found your visit fun, but we totally get where you're coming from about the crowd and pricing. We always strive to provide a relaxing and enjoyable experience, and your feedback helps us improve. It's great to know you found it cool, even if just for a one-time visit. If you ever decide to dive back into our underwater world, we'd love to welcome you again!
Positive experience: I would have to say it was a cool experience. I have to agree about it indeed being overpriced for the amount of stuff you get to see and do in there that’s for sure. Would I visit it again, I would have to respectfully say no.
Hi Mai Lia Vue, Thanks for diving into SEA LIFE at Mall of America and sharing your thoughts with us!

Your feedback is super valuable to us, and we'll definitely take it into account as we continue to enhance our offerings. If you ever decide to give us another chance, we'd love to welcome you back for an even more amazing experience!
Fantastic experience: Cool tunnel aquariums. Touch pools could have been easier to access with my 3yr old. Overall a bit expensive also, but neat experience.
Hey Zach! Thanks a ton for swimming by SEA LIFE at Mall of America and for sharing your awesome feedback! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our cool tunnel aquariums—it's like diving into a whole new world, right? We totally get your point about the touch pools and making them more accessible for little explorers like your 3-year-old. It's something we're always looking to improve. We hope the experience was worth every penny and that you made some fintastic memories. Can't wait to sea you and your family again for more underwater adventures!

Fantastic experience: This was a fun aquarium in the Mall of America that was filled with cool creatures, with everything from sharks to clown fish! The highlight was a long meandering underwater tunnel filled with all sorts of cool fish! A must-see!
Hey Tristan! Thanks a ton for swimming by and leaving such a fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a splash-tacular time exploring our underwater world at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. The underwater tunnel is definitely a crowd favorite, and we're so glad it made your visit extra special. We hope to sea you again soon for more aquatic adventures!
Fantastic experience: It was super fun! Would definitely go again! However not even close to worth the price we paid for admission.
Hi Cassie! Thanks a splash for your awesome review! We're thrilled to hear you had a super fun time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America and that you're thinking about visiting us again. We totally get that the price can be a bit of a splash, and we appreciate your feedback. We're always working on ways to make the experience even more fin-tastic for our guests.

Positive experience: Had a good time with my wife here. Lots of cool things to see. Favorite part was the tunnel under the aquarium.
Hi Dustyn Lee, Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your wife had a good time exploring SEA LIFE at Mall of America. The tunnel under the aquarium is definitely a fan favorite—it's like stepping into another world, right? We hope to welcome you both back for more underwater adventures soon!
Negative experience: I really wanted to enjoy Sea Life at Mall of America, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. The underwater tunnel was definitely the highlight — it's visually impressive and a cool experience. However, beyond that, the rest of the aquarium felt very short and underwhelming. There wasn’t much to see or do after the tunnel, and we went through the whole place much quicker than expected. What made the experience worse was the issue with the photo package. We paid for the deluxe option and were told it included free digital copies. But when trying to access them online, we were asked to pay again for the downloads. I’ve tried reaching out multiple times to Sea Life and to Magic Memories by phone and email, but no one has responded. It’s frustrating, and at this point, it honestly feels like we were scammed. For the price of admission, I expected a much better and more engaging experience. I've been to other aquariums and this one was unfortunately the least memorable. I wouldn’t recommend it, especially given the cost and lack of customer service follow-up.
Hi Oliver – Thank you very much for taking the time to share your comments with us about your recent visit to SEA LIFE. I’m very sorry your experience was less than ideal, and that our photo team has not reached out to you! I have forwarded your feedback directly to the photo management team. We would love the opportunity to make this right!
Positive experience: I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. My young grandson's also loved it. So many fish and sharks. It's wonderful but overpriced.
Hi Sheryl D, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your grandsons had a fantastic time exploring the wonders of the ocean with us. It's always a joy to know that our visitors, both young and young-at-heart, are captivated by the amazing marine life we have here. We appreciate your feedback about the pricing and will certainly take it into consideration as we strive to provide the best value for our guests. We hope to welcome you and your family back for more underwater adventures in the future!
Positive experience: Kids loved it. My son loved the sharks. 3 stars because it was so packed, literally arm to arm with other ppl. Tickets were sooo overpriced.
Hi Dania, Thank you for sharing your experience with us at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. I'm really glad to hear that your kids, especially your son, enjoyed seeing the sharks!

We hope to welcome you and your family back in the future for an even better visit. If you have any more thoughts or suggestions, please feel free to share them with us at [email protected].
Negative experience: I don't support this. Sting rays need bigger aquarium. Need space to turn over and do back flips ect. Sting rays are being kept unnatural in shallow water.

Fantastic experience: A truly phenomenal aquarium to visit. It’s not a huge aquarium by any means but what it does have is this long underwater tunnel. It absolutely makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another world. I don’t remember how long that tunnel was but it felt like I was in there for hours, there’s so much to see.
Hey Frank! Wow, your review made us smile from ear to ear! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a phenomenal time exploring our underwater tunnel. It's like stepping into a whole new world, right? We're so glad you felt immersed and enjoyed every moment. Thanks a ton for sharing your experience with us. We can't wait to welcome you back for more underwater adventures!
Positive experience: Dear Sea Life Team, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share feedback about our visit last Saturday, which we made possible thanks to a Diamond Service Award ticket I received. While we were excited for the visit, the check-in experience left us feeling uncomfortable. When I presented our ticket at the front desk, the first staff member seemed unsure how to process it and called for assistance. A lady came to help, but during the process, she repeatedly said how much she hates these tickets. She said this multiple times, and it was quite disheartening — especially in front of my daughter. My daughter was excited about the visit, but hearing an adult say they “hate” something so strongly — in a context tied to our entry — made her feel as if she herself was not welcome. She even asked me if the lady meant she hated her. That moment really affected the start of our visit. We understand that sometimes staff may face challenges with certain ticketing systems, but we hope that future interactions, especially with families and children, can be handled with more care and kindness. Thank you for taking the time to hear our experience. We still enjoyed the exhibits and appreciate the opportunity to visit.
Dear Carmela, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I'm truly sorry to hear about the discomfort you and your daughter felt during your check-in. It's disheartening to know that what should have been a joyful start to your visit was overshadowed by this interaction. We deeply value the experiences of all our guests, especially our younger visitors, and it's important to us that everyone feels welcome and appreciated. Your feedback is incredibly important, and we will be addressing this situation with our team to ensure that all interactions are handled with the care and kindness that our guests deserve. I'm glad to hear that you still enjoyed the exhibits, and I hope that your next visit will be filled with nothing but positive memories. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and for giving us the opportunity to improve. Warm regards, SEA LIFE at Mall of America Team
Fantastic experience: We drove 7 hrs to come to Sea Life and it was all and above our expectations. AMAZING! Our favorite part was the tunnel top and being able to walk through and see under all the sharks etc. The jellyfish exhibit was beautiful. We fed shrimp to the stingray and touched sea urchins and man that water was cold lol. Fun for the whole family. Well worth the drive and unlimited trips through, for the day. We got our family photo at the end.
Hi Maureen, Wow, what an incredible journey you had to SEA LIFE at Mall of America! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that your 7-hour drive was worth every mile and that we exceeded your expectations. The tunnel is indeed a fan favorite, and we're so glad you enjoyed the mesmerizing jellyfish exhibit and had fun feeding the stingrays. And yes, that water can be quite the chilly surprise, can't it? It's fantastic to know that your whole family had a blast and that you captured the memories with a family photo. Thank you for sharing your amazing experience with us, and we hope to welcome you back for more underwater adventures soon!
Positive experience: Minus 2 stars for our incredibly rude and not kid friendly tour guide (was super short, snotty, acted very unhappy to be at his job), if our toddlers even made a peep he was visibly agitated. 3 stars for the rest of the experience- the kids had a blast at the aquarium, not so much with the tour.
Hi Michelle, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm truly sorry to hear that the tour guide's behavior didn't meet your expectations and affected your visit. It's important to us that every part of your visit is enjoyable, especially for the little ones. We appreciate your feedback and will address this with our team to ensure a more welcoming and kid-friendly atmosphere in the future. I'm glad to hear that your kids enjoyed the aquarium itself. We strive to create a fun and engaging environment for families, and it's great to know that part of your visit was a hit. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for an even better experience. Warm regards, The SEA LIFE Team at Mall of America
Positive experience: It's small for the price but very cute. Would go again.

We always aim to create a magical underwater experience for our guests, and your feedback helps us keep swimming in the right direction. We can't wait to welcome you back for more aquatic adventures!
Positive experience: The rating: Overall, we had a good time. A good attraction to visit. The good: The enclosures are well designed and look cool. The aquatic residence are active and healthy. The tide pool educator was very friendly and answered all or questions. (Thanks Preston) I really like the parts where you could pop your head up in a bubble to see the animals up close. The iffy: The aquarium tunnel gets REALLY loud when it's busy. Don't go if you have any claustrophobic tendencies.
Hi Gary, Thanks a ton for sharing your experience with us at SEA LIFE at Mall of America! We're thrilled to hear that you had a good time and enjoyed the cool enclosures and active aquatic residents. It's awesome that Preston made your visit even more memorable with his friendly and informative approach. We totally get that the aquarium tunnel can get a bit noisy, especially during busy times. We appreciate your feedback and will keep it in mind as we strive to make everyone's visit as enjoyable as possible. We hope to see you again soon for more underwater adventures!
Fantastic experience: I was happily surprised at how enjoyable this mall aquarium was. It is very well put together, and I especially loved the walk-through tunnels. It is a little expensive for the size.
Hey Andrew! Thanks a ton for swimming by and leaving us such a fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a splash-tacular time exploring our aquarium and that the walk-through tunnels were a hit. We aim to create an unforgettable underwater adventure for all our visitors, and it's awesome to know we made a splash with you. We understand that the price can feel a bit like a big wave, but we hope the experience was worth every penny. Hope to sea you again soon for another dive into the deep blue!
Fantastic experience: Incredible aquarium experience! SEA LIFE at Mall of America is a must-see! The 300 foot underwater tunnel is stunning sharks, sea turtles, and rays swim right above you. The rainforest and coral reef exhibits are immersive and full of vibrant life. Great for all ages, with interactive touch pools and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Perfect spot for families or a relaxing break from shopping. Highly recommend! SEA LIFE is beautifully done and packed with educational moments, impressive marine life, and interactive exhibits that make the whole experience feel dynamic and engaging. It’s well worth the ticket price and makes for a peaceful (and air-conditioned!) break from the mall hustle. Would absolutely visit again.

Fantastic experience: A must see attraction! See lots of fish, reptiles and amphibians in a positive light. You can even feed the rays. Fun for all ages. UPDATE - new exhibits and fish. It's a good place to relax and unwind. May 12th, new exhibits and a lot of fun.
Hi Mark, thanks for writing us a review! It's awesome to hear you had fun discovering thousands of amazing creatures with us, we hope you found some new favorites. Swim by again soon!
Fantastic experience: So cool!!! We took baby Athena for Mother’s Day and she loved it even though she’s a baby!
Hi Kari Ann Hoglund Kounkel! Wow, we're thrilled to hear that you and baby Athena had such a fantastic time with us on Mother’s Day! It's wonderful that even our tiniest visitors can enjoy the magic of SEA LIFE. We hope to see you both again soon for more underwater adventures and memorable moments. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Nice aquarium! It was fun getting up close to the sealife. Great for little kids as they put a lot of stuff down at their level to enjoy.
Hi Melissa! Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you and the kids enjoyed exploring the sea with us. We strive to ensure that all our young visitors can experience the ocean's magic. We hope to see you again soon for another adventure!
Fantastic experience: I did not know this, but saw fish are huge! In all seriousness, my family had a boat load of fun.
Hi Steve! It sounds like you and your family had a great time at SEA LIFE! We're glad the Sawfish impressed you all. It's wonderful to know our visitors leave with big smiles. Thanks for sharing your experience! We hope to see you again soon for more underwater fun!
Positive experience: Sea life was great! A little overpriced in my opinion but what isn’t these days? I highly recommend getting tickets in advance, you can normally get better deals and bundle. We got there right at 10am on a Saturday and it wasn’t too busy! Staff were friendly and it was clean. Make sure you go to the bathroom before you start because there isn’t another until the end. My 7 year old had a blast and it was really the perfect way to start the day. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!
Hi Sarah! Thanks a bunch for swimming by and sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your 7-year-old had a blast exploring SEA LIFE. It's great to know that our friendly staff and clean environment added to your adventure!
Positive experience: Cool, worth it just to see the sea turtles to be honest. Maybe it’s because it was a week day, but they don’t really have much going on it seems. No tide pool for touching rays or anything anymore. Which, I’m not entitled to but at the price I wanted it to be a bit more. Though I do recognize your paying for mall of America tourist prices
Hi Graham! Thanks a ton for swimming by SEA LIFE at Mall of America and for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that the sea turtles made quite the splash for you—they're definitely some of our star attractions! We totally get where you're coming from about wanting a bit more action. Your feedback about the tide pool is super valuable, and we'll definitely keep it in mind as we plan future experiences. We hope to welcome you back soon for another underwater adventure!
Fantastic experience: I meant to leave a review when we were there, but I got distracted and forgot. Shawn, one of the employees, found my son and me and asked if we wanted to go above the exhibit and feed the animals. My son was SO excited! This was such an amazing and unforgettable experience. I didn’t know that you can actually buy a package to do this, and I highly recommend it. The nicest thing about being randomly chosen for this, is that we just lost my son’s twin brother a month ago, and this was one of our first outings without him. Making it extra special, without even knowing the circumstances, absolutely made our day. Thank you so much for this!
Hi Christine. Wow, just wow. Your review truly touched our hearts! We're so grateful you took the time to share your experience with us. It sounds like Shawn created a magical moment for you and your son, and we're thrilled to hear it brought some joy during such a tender time. Feeding the animals is indeed a special experience, and we're delighted it made your visit unforgettable. I have shared your review with Shawn and our management team. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures soon!
Positive experience: It is small but worth it to us to go. We enjoyed the walking tube and never felt rushed. Staff was super sweet. We fed the rays and enjoyed the touch tank.
Thank you for your FIN-tastic review! We're thrilled to sea that you had a whale of a time at SEA LIFE, and that you had the oppor-tuna-ty to feed our rays and visit our touch pool! Our team is always working like busy little clownfish to ensure every visit is a reel adventure. Swim by again soon, and let's make more memories together!
Fantastic experience: Great variety of salt and fresh water life. Two educational staff members, Sara and Eric, invited us to go "behind the scenes" and feed the fish. Such a neat experience!
Hi Dave! Your 5-star review makes our scales sparkle with joy! We're thrilled you had a fin-tastic time exploring SEA LIFE. I've sent your review over to our management team so that they can let Sara and Eric know that they were able to create a JAW-some experience for you! Your support fuels our passion for showcasing the wonders of the ocean. We hope to SEA you again.
Fantastic experience: a short, linear aquarium! the super long tunnel made it well worth the price and overall length of the aquarium. buy tickets in advance for when it opens and enjoy the morning quiet in the tunnel!
Hi Samantha, thanks for your JAW-some review! We're so happy to hear that you were able to take some time in the 300-foot-long ocean tunnel to see all of our mermazing creatures! We hope you are able to swim by for a visit again soon!
Fantastic experience: Super interactive and my kids had the BEST time!
Ahoy! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're flipping our fins with joy knowing your kids had a whale of a time exploring all of our interactive exhibits here at SEA LIFE. Your support sends waves of happiness through our team.
Fantastic experience: We had a great time at SEA LIFE in the Mall of America. It’s not a huge aquarium, but there’s a surprising variety of sea creatures to check out. It's easy to get to — especially if you’re coming in on the light rail, since it’s right near that entrance. One thing we liked is that your ticket is good for the whole day, so you can come back later if you want a break from shopping. Our teens thought it was cool too, which is always a win. If you’re already at the mall, it’s a fun little escape and definitely worth stopping by.
Hi Nelly! Wow, your review just made our day! It's awesome that you found the variety of sea creatures surprising and enjoyed the convenience of our location near the light rail entrance. We totally agree—having a ticket that's good for the whole day is a great way to mix up your mall adventure. We hope to see you swimming by again soon for another fun escape!
Fantastic experience: It was quite a fun experience, got to see all the wonderful animals and sea creatures. Even got a nice plush.
Hey Ursa! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a fun experience with us at SEA LIFE at Mall of America! It's awesome that you got to meet all our wonderful animals and sea creatures. And a plush buddy to take home? That's the cherry on top!
Fantastic experience: My kids LOVED coming here! My daughters had a blast seeing the sharks and all of the other fish. Worth making the trip out to the mall to see the smile on their faces! Great attraction. 10/10 would recommend.
Hey Zachary! Wow, your review just made our day! We're thrilled to hear that your daughters had such a fantastic time exploring the underwater wonders with us. Seeing those smiles is exactly why we love what we do! Sharks and fish have a way of capturing the imagination, don't they? We can't wait to welcome you and your family back for more aquatic adventures!
Fantastic experience: Great time here looking at some aquatic animal life here in the mall. The staff were informative, the exhibits were well organized, and it was worth the price, despite the tickets being ~$25 each. I liked the tunnel with the animals swimming above and bar the tunnel, with the beautiful and unique sharks, turtles, sting rays, and fish. The rest of the experience was fun with other wildlife being shown. Would recommend stopping by this aquarium at the Mall of America as a good time consumer for the day.
Hey Nikolai, Thanks a ton for swimming by and leaving us such a fin-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear you had a splash-tacular time exploring the wonders of the ocean right here at the Mall of America. Our team loves sharing their passion for marine life, and it's awesome to know you found the exhibits informative and well-organized. The tunnel is definitely a crowd favorite, and we're glad you enjoyed the mesmerizing view of our sharks, turtles, stingrays, and fish gliding overhead. It's like stepping into an underwater world, isn't it? Thanks for recommending us as a day adventure. We hope to sea you again soon for more aquatic fun!
Fantastic experience: I have visited Sea Life at MOA many times with my two children. Pros: Very beautiful aquarium tunnels with many different saltwater, freshwater fish, and sea turtles. Two pop-up tubes that children can crawl into and stand up to feel like they are within a bubble inside the aquarium. Lanes are wide enough that faster patrons can pass you without you feeling rushed through. Stingray touch pool is always very fun. With the bonus of feeder shrimp being available for purchase. Cons: During some peak times and days, it can become very loud and congested in the tunnels. The ticket prices seem very high. I would advise buying tickets ahead of time from the Sea Life website. Kiosks are available at the entrance of the aquarium.
Positive experience: This is a very thoughtfully designed aquarium. Very immersive. Very continuous. Kids loved it. It's quite small, though, for the price. And there aren't any good areas to really soak in some time with the creatures. It more felt like you were constantly walking through a line that happened to be a cool line. Not worth the price, in my opinion. Won't be back.
Hi maeherme, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We're really glad to hear that you found our aquarium thoughtfully designed and that the kids enjoyed the immersive experience. It's always our goal to create a magical underwater journey for our visitors. Your feedback is incredibly valuable and will help us as we continue to improve the experience for all our guests especially about the line, if you have any more feedback you would like to share please reach out to us at [email protected].
Fantastic experience: Wow! cool place for adults or with kids, like have a walk in the park without the weather or the sound of nature. Good place to connect with friends or love one's , a time to reflect, or have exciting conversations . May also be the atmosphere where you get an opportunity to talk about maybe hard topics. The sea animals created a soothing vibe, the fact that there's no distractions or any interactions with the wildlife you can get quality time with yourself or the company that may have joined you.
Hi Benard Obrien Simmons! Wow, your review is as refreshing as a sea breeze! We're thrilled to hear that you found SEA LIFE at Mall of America to be a cool oasis for both adults and kids. Whether it's connecting with friends or having some quality "me" time, we're delighted that our atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop. Thanks for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for more underwater adventures soon!
Fantastic experience: We took our 7 month old with the grandparents and it was SO fun! Our little one had a blast exploring the colors, sounds, and things that moved. Great experience for this age. I wish we used the mothering room in the mall, there was not a place to feed a bottle quick during the experience.
Hi Amanda! Wow, a perfect 5-star review! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. We're thrilled to see that you had a fantastic time exploring the wonders of the ocean with us.
Positive experience: Great place! Amazing fish life! The staff either needs training to be more helpful or new staff! When me and my group went to the front desk to get our wrist bands, the lady scanned them and everything, went to stand in line and when we got up to go inside the exhibit, the other lady who was helping us said that we didn’t have to stand in a line after we scanned it up front. The front desk lady there did NOT tell us that we didn’t have to stand in the line, which wasted a whole hour for us to have to end our day earlier at the Sealife exhibition and the Nickelodeon Universe.
Hi Hailey, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the amazing fish life at SEA LIFE, but I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience you faced with the wristband process. It sounds frustrating to have your time cut short, and I completely understand how that could impact your day. We strive to provide clear and helpful guidance to all our visitors, and it's clear we missed the mark during your visit. Your feedback is invaluable, and we'll be addressing this with our team to ensure better communication in the future. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with a seamless and enjoyable experience from start to finish. Thank you again for your feedback and if you have any more, please feel free to write us at [email protected], and we hope to welcome you back soon!
Negative experience: The behind the scenes tour was a waste of money. Very disappointed. My kids were bored ( my husband and I were also bored) and the person giving the tour was uncomfortable, couldn't hear anything they said and just stood there in silence frequently not saying anything. Don't waste your money on it
Hi Danielle, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I'm truly sorry to hear that the behind-the-scenes tour didn't meet your expectations and that it left your family feeling disappointed. It's important to us that every visitor has an engaging and enjoyable experience, and it sounds like we missed the mark during your visit. We want all our guests, especially families like yours, to have a memorable and fun time. If there's anything else you'd like to share or discuss, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We appreciate your input and hope to have the opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.
Positive experience: This was a fun experience! Super easy to buy tickets online and show them on my phone. We had no wait - showed our tickets and walked right in. The tunnels with fish swimming over and around were really cool! We loved seeing the fish and sharks and rays and turtles from underneath! It was a little short - we were thru in about an hour. Overall, this was a really fun experience for the family.
Hi Allen & Liz, Thanks a ton for swimming by and sharing your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had a splash-tastic time exploring the underwater world at SEA LIFE. It's awesome that you found the ticket process smooth and enjoyed the mesmerizing tunnels with all our fin-tastic friends swimming around. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!
Fantastic experience: While it was incredibly busy, the experienced staff was wonderful and patient. All of the creatures were delightful to see and my family and I had a lovely time. I definitely think it's worth the price but just a heads up, they do not take cash in the gift shop.
Hi Whitney, Thanks a ton for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a lovely time exploring SEA LIFE at Mall of America. Our team is always eager to make every visit special, and it's awesome to know they made a great impression on you despite the busy day.
Positive experience: It’s a tunnel not an Open aquarium. Was entirely too crowded. Does not appear they do any sort of crowd spacing. Jamming as many people into the tunnel as they can. Was not worth the money. Fish were beautiful. Was very clean. Staff was friendly.
Hi David! We're sorry to hear that your recent visit didn't meet your expectations, and we apologize for any negative impact that the spring break crowding, and price of admission had on your overall experience. You feedback is so important to us. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We hope to SEA you again!
Fantastic experience: My family and I enjoyed the aquarium immensely. We made the visit twice this past Sunday. An aquarium guide Sean gave us a phenomenal tour providing us a behind-the scenes experience. We got the opportunity to feed some of the animals making this trip memorable for my entire family. I highly recommend making the visit to the Sea Life Aquarium.
Hi Angelica! Thank you so much for your JAW-some 5-star review! It makes our scales sparkle with joy! We're thrilled you had a fin-tastic time exploring SEA LIFE and that Sean made your behind-the-scenes tour phenomenal! I've let our management team know about how Sean made your experience one to remember! We hope to SEA you again.
Fantastic experience: Loved the aquarium. It was busy, but despite the size of the line, we got in reasonably quick. Such a great place to take the family! My niece loved the dive stations where she got her book stamped. And the bubbles where you can crawl in and see more inside the tanks are so fun!!!!
Hi Tracey! Thank you so much for your fantastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear that you had an amazing time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. We hope you had a blast exploring the wonders of the ocean and meeting all our incredible sea creatures.
Fantastic experience: I love anything that helps you see animals in a natural or near-natural habitat and that is what Sea Life offers. Incredible views of animals in their habitat and some are not what you expect. It is definitely worth a visit and not what you would expect in a mall.
Fantastic experience: It was really fun. We had a great time, plus we had never been there before so it was like a whole new world. Lots of cool animals. We would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: The aquarium was interactive & very entertaining. The 360° tunnel was the best part. Seeing the fish swim all around us & having information about each one was educational. The VR experience was enjoyed & worth the $7 fee to do. We went during the week so it wasn't very busy & we could take our time through the exhibits.
Hi Melissa! Wow, your review made a splash with us! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. The 360° tunnel is definitely a fan favorite and kudos for diving into the VR experience—sounds like it was a hit! Visiting during the week is a great tip for a more leisurely adventure. We hope to sea you again soon for more underwater excitement!
Fantastic experience: We did ticket+behind the scenes. I thought the tour was interesting and it was cool to get to go on the decks above the tunnel. Worth the little bit extra. Rest was cool, though I could see it being a different experience if it was really busy since the whole place is basically one long pathway.
Hey Chris! Thanks a ton for your awesome review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the ticket and behind-the-scenes tour at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. Getting to explore the decks above the tunnel is definitely a unique experience. Hope to see you swimming by again soon for more underwater adventures!
Positive experience: We really like SEA LIFE. it is a great place to bring your family and friends if they've never been. A couple downsides for me personally: it makes that whole section of the mall smell really bad. That's to be expected, but still reality. Also, we bought the season pass two years in-a-row. I would not say it was worth it because we never used it enough to recoup the cost, and/or we forced a few visits when maybe we would have preferred to do something else. But again, super fun to visit.
Hi Erik, Thanks a ton for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoy visiting SEA LIFE at Mall of America. It's always a joy to know our guests have fun exploring the wonders of the ocean with us. We totally get your point about the smell—sometimes the ocean's aroma can be a bit overwhelming, even indoors! We hope to see you again soon for another underwater adventure. If you have any more thoughts or suggestions, feel free to reach out at [email protected]. Have a fantastic day!
Fantastic experience: Had a great time. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I hope to return. It is definitely family friendly. An overall great experience. Was able to take some great photos. Our clerk at the gift store went above and beyond to help explain the process of following an animal I had purchased a bracelet for.
Hi Tanya! We're so glad to hear you had a great time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America! It's wonderful that our staff made your visit special. A big thanks to our gift store clerk for assisting you with the bracelet and animal tracking. We look forward to your next underwater adventure!
Positive experience: Underwhelming. Cool concept and educational, but way too small. Nothing like The Georgia Aquarium. I'm not knocking it, but the admission price was not worth it. Anyone who reads this review, please go see it. It's totally worth it for kids.
Hi John, Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your experience at SEA LIFE at the Mall of America. We truly value your thoughts, and your insights are important for our improvement. If you have any specific suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].
Fantastic experience: It was cool so many fishes and other things some exhibits where empty for some reason but still plenty to see and do especially for the price!!!
Hi Deacon Lee! Thank you for your jawsome review! We're excited to hear you enjoyed exploring the underwater wonders at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. We appreciate your feedback, and your comments help us create memorable experiences for all our visitors!
Fantastic experience: Visited Sea Life from Canada with little one who loves watching fish. We had a fantastic time. Lots of different types of fish to sharks and rays. Little one loved having the sharks and bigger fish swim over us in the tunnels. The Jelly Fish area is also very fascinating! It was pretty busy when we visited, however, it was a Sunday so wasn't surprised. The wait to get in wasn't too bad either, around 15 mins. We noticed lots of little stops for the kids along the way for them to interact with and then the big ray pool at the end before the gift shop. I would 100% recommend visiting.
Hi V! It sounds like you and your little one had a fantastic time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America! We're glad the sharks and rays made a splash. Sundays can be busy, but it's great to hear the wait was short and you enjoyed the interactive exhibits. Thank you for recommending us and sharing your experience. We hope to see you and your little fish enthusiast again for more ocean fun soon! Best, The SEA LIFE Team
Fantastic experience: Every time we visit we like to stop at Sea life. Would like them to bring more new species of types of sea creatures not just fish though.
Hi Danielle! Thank you for your amazing 5-star review! We're so glad SEA LIFE at Mall of America is a must-visit for you. We appreciate having you in our SEA LIFE family! Your idea about adding more diverse sea creatures is great, and we're always exploring new options to keep things exciting. Best, The SEA LIFE Team ✨
Negative experience: I was excited to bring my son to Sea Life. We picked an 11am time slot. There was a line that wrapped around the corner when we got there. We made it downstairs at about 11:45 and had to stand in yet another slow moving line. This line wrapped around multiple corners, one of which had multiple families squeezed into a tiny alcove. We stood in this second line for about another 25 minutes & were still nowhere near the front. The wait time was EXCESSIVE & the environment we were waiting in was extremely cramped & hot. My son could not handle this and we had to leave before we could make it inside. This an experience that costs entirely too much to be ran so poorly. I am extremely disappointed with our visit and upset that my son could not experience the aquarium. To have customers still waiting to enter over an hour after their entry time is unacceptable. The one star is for the 1 extremely patient employee standing at the top of the escalator.
Hello! We're truly sorry to hear that your SEA LIFE visit did not meet expectations. We understand how frustrating long wait times can be, especially when visiting with little ones. We’d love the opportunity to make this right. Please email us at [email protected] so we can learn more about your experience.
Positive experience: I had a great time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America. The exhibits were fascinating, and the underwater tunnel was a highlight. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a bit crowded, but overall, a wonderful experience. Four stars!

Splashing regards, The SEA LIFE Team at Mall of America
Fantastic experience: Great aquarium located in the basement of the Mall of America. We went on a Sunday and it was really busy. About a 20 minute wait in line to start the tour, but worth it. Obviously very kid friendly and hands on to keep kids involved and entertained the entire time. Started with a rain forest type exhibit then a tunnel through the sea. There were multiple sharks, turtles, rays and of course various fish that swam around you as you observed. Finished the tour though a seahorse and jelly fish exhibit then finally a stingray tank when you could feed the stingrays. If you wanted there was also a touch tank at the end to interact with fish and sea life. Overall a great experience that lasted about an hour. We paid just under 30 dollars a person and if you book online a few days ahead you save on the price by quite a bit.
Hi Garrett, Wow, it sounds like you had an ocean of fun at SEA LIFE at Mall of America! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your underwater adventure, even with the Sunday crowd. It's fantastic that the exhibits, from the rain forest to the mesmerizing sea tunnel, kept everyone entertained and engaged. Those sharks, turtles, and rays sure know how to make a splash, don't they? And feeding the stingrays is always a highlight! We're glad you found the experience worth the wait and that you were able to take advantage of the online booking savings. Thanks a ton for sharing your experience with us. We can't wait to welcome you back for another fin-tastic visit! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team at Mall of America
Positive experience: The tunnel where you can see the sea life was amazing. Decent size aquarium for being in a mall but was a little expensive. For the price I wish they offered a little more.
Hi Samantha, Thanks for swimming by SEA LIFE at Mall of America and for sharing your thoughts with us! We're thrilled to hear that you found the tunnel amazing—it's like diving into a whole new underwater world, right? We appreciate your feedback on the pricing and the experience. We're always looking for ways to add more value and make your visit even more fin-tastic. Hope to sea you again for another adventure! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team at Mall of America
Fantastic experience: We had great time with our kiddos ages 5-10. The tunnel was so fun and to see the fish above us was super neat. The employees were especially nice and we even had a special surprise at the end and were treated a special tour of the tanks from above and got to feed the fish and Eli gave us a great tour, we were so appreciative that Morgan pointed out our family to him!
Hey Krista's Usborne Books & More Pierce! It sounds like you and your kiddos had a great time at SEA LIFE! We're so glad the tunnel and fish made a splash with your family. Eli and Morgan will be thrilled to know they added to your visit with that surprise tour and fish feeding. We love creating memorable experiences, and it’s wonderful to hear you felt the magic. Thanks for sharing, and we can't wait to welcome you back for more underwater fun! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team at Mall of America ✨
Positive experience: Great aquarium for it to be inside a Mall. We bought tickets online but missed our time slot, and I was told that on non busy days you are able to come in at any time.
Hi Jasmine! Thanks a ton for swimming by and leaving us a splash-tastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed our aquarium inside the Mall of America.

We always aim to make your visit as smooth as a sea breeze. If you ever have any more questions or need assistance, just let us know. We can't wait to welcome you back for another fin-tastic visit! Wishing you oceans of fun, The SEA LIFE Team
Positive experience: Not the biggest but one of the coolest aquariums I've been to! I did the all access pass, me and my friend were the only ones for the behind the scenes portion. We got a nice private tour of their feeding, water and got to explore the walkways above the tanks! We also did the virtual reality experience, which was okay. The touch tank was pretty awesome, as well as some of the unique creatures that they had.
Hi Monique, Thanks a ton for diving into SEA LIFE at Mall of America and sharing your experience with us!

We always aim to make every visit special and memorable. Hope to see you swimming by again soon for more underwater fun! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team at Mall of America
Fantastic experience: Always such a great place to spend a day off. The tickets aren’t super cheap— but they are valid all day, so you can leave and come back at your leisure. the exhibits are immersive, and the larger tanks are massive. when I encountered staff, they were so sweet and knowledgeable. we decided to go on the behind the scenes tour, which provided a super cool angle to view the tanks in, and showed us where the rescued turtles like to hang out. definitely worth it to see! I love going to this spot, and hope to be back soon
Hey Sydney! Wow, your review just made our day! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an awesome time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed Sea Life. It was nice seeing different species and having the aquarium overhead. My favorite exhibit was the jellyfish.
Hi Pamela! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE! Isn't it mesmerizing to have the aquarium overhead and watch all those incredible species swim by? Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and we hope to see you again for more underwater adventures! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team at Mall of America
Fantastic experience: Honestly one of our favorite winter activities! Great (and clean) aquariums. Counter staff could always be better, but most of them are young kids.
Hey Caleb! We're flipping our fins with joy hearing that SEA LIFE at Mall of America is one of your favorite winter activities! It's FIN-tastic to know you enjoyed our great and clean aquariums. We appreciate your feedback about the counter staff, and we'll keep working on making every visit even better.

Fantastic experience: It was a wonderful experience! The 1 year old had a blast, and the 4 year old was a little scared because of the darkness, but are a while the 4 year old was having a blast! The people there were helpful and welcoming!
Hi Cass! We're absolutely thrilled to the gills hearing that you and your little ones had such a FIN-tastic time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America!

We hope to see you swimming by again soon for more underwater fun! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team ✨
Fantastic experience: My friends and I visited for what was MY first time ever, and I was so impressed with the staff, sweet animals, and care they're being provided. Shawn gave us an amazing Shark Talk, and even gave us a behind the scenes look and animal feeding opportunity. They were amazing and we learned so much!
Hi Emily! Wow, it sounds like you and your friends had an absolute blast at SEA LIFE at Mall of America!

We can't wait to welcome you back for more underwater adventures. Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team
Fantastic experience: My family and I went to sea life On a federal holiday. There was a good amount of people doing the same thing we were, But this didn’t impact our experience In the slightest! We got in fast, we did everything we wanted to do! The staff answered any questions that we had. Especially any of the questions my nephew had, which he is six and has a very curious mind! I love how Camyren, One of the staff, Was so attentive to my nephew and encouraged his questions! She answered all of them with “that’s a very good question” and then told him the answer, which made him feel like his questions were very Important! He’s even now considering doing exactly what she does when he grows up, In the same place. An allowing him to feed the fish, give him an even more personalized experience that he loved so much, and I think made the biggest impact on him. She made this experience so amazing and have such a big impact on his life and we are so thankful for this interaction!
Hi Raquel, Wow, what an amazing review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a fantastic time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America, especially on a busy federal holiday. It sounds like your nephew had an unforgettable experience, and we're so glad that Camyren could make it extra special for him. Thank you for sharing your delightful experience with us. We hope to welcome you and your family back for more underwater adventures soon! Best fishes, The SEA LIFE Team
Fantastic experience: This place was amazing!! I went at 11am on a week day and for most of the visit we were the only ones there. The tunnel was gorgeous and peaceful, it was amazing seeing the sharks and stingrays swim above us. We even got to feed the turtles and watch the sawfish being fed!! They take your picture and at the end you can buy it for $25 + optional $5 frame, I thought that was nice. We ended up not paying anything for our tickets thru the Mall of America app. Definitely worth it!!
Hey Chelsie! Thanks for your JAW-some review! It sounds like you had an absolutely fin-tastic time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our peaceful underwater tunnel and got to see the sharks and stingrays up close. Thanks for sharing your turtely amazing adventure with us. We hope to sea you again soon for more underwater fun!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing and the staff was above and beyond cooperative. So I had purchased my tickets at the kiosk inside the mall. The kiosk must’ve been having some problems, because my tickets never printed or came to my email. I was sent to their customer service desk, where they had refunded me for the tickets I purchased and gave me a set free! Just amazing. My kids absolutely loved it.
Hi Caylie Ann! Wow, your review made our day! We're thrilled to hear that you and your kids had such an amazing time at SEA LIFE at Mall of America, and that our team was able to go above and beyond when there was a ticket hiccup! We hope your little ones got to meet some of their favorite sea creatures up close! If you ever swim by again, we'd love to welcome you back for another underwater adventure.
Fantastic experience: Great Aquarium! Knowledgeable experts and staff! Great customer service. The path through the aquarium is completely accessible with a motorized scooter. The virtual reality experience isn't easy to access for all people who are differently abled; and the aquarium leadership should consider setting up an accessible option for people who cannot climb into the pod chair. My daughter shared that having a headset without the movement of the pod chair would have been just as enjoyable, perhaps through a Metaquest or equitable headset. Otherwise, it is a really great experience to share with family as a holiday gift.
Your 5-star review makes our scales sparkle with joy! We're thrilled you had a fin-tastic time exploring SEA LIFE. Your support fuels our passion for showcasing the wonders of the ocean. We hope to SEA you again.
Fantastic experience: We really enjoy our membership to Sea Life, but had an especially memorable visit this week. Staff member Camryn was giving educational talks in the shark area and was kind enough to show our kids around behind the scenes between presentations. She was so kind and really made our day! Thank you for such a special visit!
Thank you for your fintastic review! We're thrilled to sea that you had a whale of a time at SEA LIFE. Our team is always working like busy little clownfish to ensure every visit is a reel adventure. Swim by again soon, and let's make more memories together!
Fantastic experience: On par with some of the better aquariums I visited like Ripleys and sea life in New Orleans. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, kids loved the multiple aquarium tunnels and sting ray bay! Tickets are a few dollars cheaper online but the kiosk at the mall are easy to use to get tickets right away!
Wow! Thanks for the fin-tastic 5-star review! We're thrilled to the gills that you enjoyed your visit to SEA LIFE. It's like music to our seashells knowing we helped create unforgettable memories for you. See you soon for another splash-tacular adventure.
Positive experience: Just beautiful! My kids loved it and the facilities were right and clean. It was a really great experience. The first day that I got there it was full of people and the line was huge, so I returned the next day at 10am when they opened and I went through the entrance with no wait.
Thank you for taking the plunge and visiting SEA LIFE! We're glad you had a splashing good time exploring. Your review means the world to us. We hope you swim back for more fin-tastic adventures with us!
Positive experience: Awesome aquarium! We really enjoyed the tunnel although there wasn’t a ton of stuff beyond that. Only took about half an hour to get through.
Thank you for taking the plunge and visiting SEA LIFE! We're glad you had a splashing good time exploring. Your review means the world to us. We hope you swim back for more fin-tastic adventures with us!
Fantastic experience: To think there is this advanced aquarium underneath the mall was a definite surprise! There is plenty to see and the underwater tube was great! If you have the time for sure get your ticket and it will be worth your time!
Your 5-star review makes our scales sparkle with joy! We're thrilled you had a fin-tastic time exploring SEA LIFE. Your support fuels our passion for showcasing the wonders of the ocean. We hope to SEA you again.
Positive experience: The tickets are a little pricey (about $25 a ticket), but there is a pretty good amount to do. The exhibits are very appealing and very well maintained. There were lots of in-your-face encounters in the tank areas. My daughter absolutely loved seeing the sharks. I would recommend going if you are really interested in seeing marine life.
Hi John, thanks for sharing feedback from your visit. We apologize for any negative impact that the price of admission had on your overall experience, but we hope you were able to take some time in the 300 foot long ocean tunnel to see our 3 rescued sea turtles, dozens of sharks, and more! If you have any additional feedback you would like to share, please email us at [email protected]. Thanks!
Positive experience: It's was ok I guess honestly I felt it was a little lame for the price. I mean do you see sea life yes. So was it cool yep. If your at the mall and have an hour or two to kill. Go for it. Smaller kids will love it.
Thank you for taking the plunge and visiting SEA LIFE! We're glad you had a splashing good time exploring. Your review means the world to us. We hope you swim back for more fin-tastic adventures with us!
Fantastic experience: The walk through the jungle was great, seeing things like tarantulas and frogs and many other things, to the massive aquarium tunnel where the fish and turtles swim right over you, jelly fish, star fish, sting rays, sea turtles and a plethora of other things always a good time
Thank you for your fintastic review! We're thrilled to sea that you had a whale of a time at SEA LIFE. Our team is always working like busy little clownfish to ensure every visit is a reel adventure. Swim by again soon, and let's make more memories together!
Fantastic experience: For what you pay this is a fantastic stop for all ages. I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff is, and how much they work to provide and care for these animals. I've been here quite a few times, and have never been disappointed once. I often will say to come around during the week day because it'll be less busy where on weekends it will be pretty crowded with the massive crowd of Mall of America. The shop has actually really affordable plushies for just about $20 but great quality and size. Plus they are all unique to the aquatic life at the exhibit. Honestly if you live in the area I would also suggest getting a membership because it pays for itself in just two visits.

Fantastic experience: It was a great experience! Watching sharks, sting ray, and other fishes from the side and bottom was so exciting Their halloween decorations were so cute!! Ticket can be purchased from kiosks or online. They do military discount to the military member and the people go tour with. Only in person purchase though (no discount option on the website). Ask the staff before heading to the kiosk! They will help to apply discount on the machine
Wow! Thanks for the fin-tastic 5-star review Stacy! We're thrilled to the gills that you enjoyed your visit to SEA LIFE. It's like music to our seashells knowing we helped create unforgettable memories for you. See you soon for another splash-tacular adventure.
Positive experience: The kids really liked it but it was stupidly expensive for what you got to see. Even taking our time walking through it, we only spent about an hour there and we had gone through everything. We did think the underwater pumpkin carving was neat.
Hi Sarina, thanks for sharing feedback from your visit. We apologize for any negative impact that the price of admission had on your overall experience. We hope you were able to take some time in the 300 foot long ocean tunnel to see our 3 rescued sea turtles, dozens of sharks, and were able to enjoy the underwater pumpkin carving event! If you have any additional feedback you would like to share, please email us at [email protected]. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Was the most absolutely breathtaking place. Very fun for all ages, to including adults children lol. Loved the part where you can tough different kinds of sea creatures.

Positive experience: It was cool looking at the sea animals and they had tons to see! I loved the tube but the line was a bit long. My favorite animals that I saw were the sea horses and jellyfish.
Hi there! Thanks for sharing feedback from your visit. We're flipping our fins with joy that you were able to take some time in the 300 foot long ocean tunnel, despite the line, to see our 3 rescued sea turtles, dozens of sharks, and more. Our sea horses and jellyfish are so happy you had the oppor-tuna-ty to see them too!
Positive experience: Great experience! Awesome views and the tunnel is amazing. I labeled it 4/5 star as the cost was a little high for an activity that lasted an hour.

Fantastic experience: They say this is the biggest in the state but it seems a bit small. It's decent though as I do enjoy the guided road to go through all the attractions there. We saw quite a number of sharks and sea turtles. Lots of varieties for fishes and insects. My boy would've loved it here. For the price at 25 bucks, not too bad! You can even buy shrimp at the end of the aquarium to feed stingrays in the pond.

Fantastic experience: Went to The Mall for the first time just to go here. I was pleasantly surprised. It was surprisingly large and the tunnel is really neat. I would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited SEA LIFE at the Mall of America, and it was a fantastic experience! The aquarium is well-organized with a diverse range of marine life, from vibrant coral reefs to mesmerizing jellyfish and sleek sharks. The exhibits are both educational and visually stunning, making it a perfect outing for families and marine enthusiasts alike. The underwater tunnel, in particular, offered an incredible view of the aquatic life swimming above and around us. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the facility was clean and well-maintained. Overall, SEA LIFE is a must-visit attraction if you're at the Mall of America!
Hello Mubin- Thank you for taking the time to leave us this wonderful review! We are so happy that you had a Mermazing experience with us at SEA LIFE at Mall of America! We're glad you were able to enjoy everything our aquarium has to offer! We hope you were able to find a new favorite sea creatures and learn more about them! Thanks again for swimming by!

Positive experience: A nice aquarium with a pretty obvious walk thru. The underwater tunnel is really the main draw. We had found flyers for a coupon for $2 off when buying online but you have to pick an entrance time. Also the online service fee is more than the discount so...
Hi Amanda, thanks for sharing feedback from your visit. W're happy to hear that you were able to enjoy our 300-foot-long ocean tunnel to see our 3 rescued sea turtles, dozens of sharks, and more!
