I love this place. It is so magical! It was the only place we went to in the mall of America. The aquariums were full of beautiful fish that swim right over your heas.

This place is unbelievable and must stop if you're ever in Mall of America
Fun tunnels and jelly fish room! Can't wait for construction to be over
Is definitely worth checking out if visiting the Mall of America.
Loved it and loved the reaction of my 24 year old daughter had it was wonderful!!!
Great start to the day. Took my two daughters 4 and 1. Both loved it. Took about an hour to make way through all exhibits. Well worth $ while visiting moam
The aquarium was lots of fun. We did the behind the scenes tour with Alison and she seemed very knowledgeable. She was energetic and able to answer all of our questions about how the animals are treated here.
Overpriced for what it is. Did not take long at all to get thru it. The underwater tunnels were cool. Compared to other aquariums we have been to this one is lacking.
An awesome family adventure! Worth every penny. Shark alley was amazing.
Tropical area is closed these days but got readmission pass
Well worth the entry fee, take it slow and enjoy it.
Best indoor aquarium in the US it was fun and cool and also educational at the same time
Amazing! The sharks, the jellyfish, the sea turtles, sturgeons all amazing! Very nice staff. A little pricy, though as a teacher they had an event i could get in for free. See if you can get a coupon
Cool but expensive, get a coupon or with someone with a membership or something.
Very unique venue. A great addition to the mall. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. I would definitely recommend this attraction!
A very fun time with the family. My young kids were never bored. Prices are a bit high. Over $70 for 4 of us to get in and that was also with a coupon. If prices are going to be that high I feel more should be offered. With all that being said... It's worth going through at least once.
Great for a date with your girl. Have to get the VIP tour though
Way bigger than expected and great fun
However, if you don't care about mermaids, don't go on a mermaid day. It's very difficult to navigate around the blockade of people waiting to see her. Kids especially liked the day tank and the walkway under the tanks.
There was some much Ocean life to see while waking through the tube of water. Turtles, sharks, various fish. Plus the staff was very informative and polite. Defiantly going again.
Fun place to take the kids. Some days they do fun activities or some educational stuff.
This is a great place to take the family with some really cool attractions. The only issue is how crowded it can get and if you have kids, standing in lines is usually not their strong suit. Try to avoid going on days and times when you think many other parents will have the same idea unless you are willing to pay the cost of admission and proceed to stand in line for quite some time. But feeding the Ray's, seeing the sharks and sturgeon and other fish in the tunnel, and walking through the little rain forest is really cool and quite enjoyable for not just the little ones but the whole family.
This place used to be great! But for the price, they've really made it a lot smaller. Also, they allow so many ppl in at a time that it's a crowded walk! Really wish they would limit the number of ppl (even if that meant you had to buy tickets for a time slot) and brought back some of the attraction. Also. There were NO open bathrooms in the aquarium the day we were there. The women's was out of order and it's way at the end. In order to use a bathroom you had to leave and to re-enter you had to wait thru the whole attraction with all all all the people just to catch back to with your group. Thank goodness none of our kids had emergency bathroom breaks needed. I won't return which is a bummer because we used to come all the time.
Awesome place to take this kids or for a nice quiet time with your significant other. If you get a Dive Log book, you get a free prize from the gift shop for getting a stamp from each dive station.
Very cool for the family. Spacious and well kept. Great marine life
Waste of money. Smaller than Shedd aquarium in Chicago or Newport in Lexington or any other actual aquarium but just as expensive. It says it's accessible but tiny hallways make it hard to move for an able bodied person let alone a wheelchair. The entire place is super dark. My daughter is visually impaired and cried the entire time because she couldn't see where she was. There is no info on the website saying that someone who is VI would need a guide and with the darkness and the tiny hallways a white cane wouldn't be enough to navigate this place safely. Inaccessible and overpriced.
There is an amazing atmosphere to the aquarium. It's a bit pricey, but worth it, especially if you are taking children.
The staff were friendly and helpfull. There are too many beautiful creatures to mention. There is a bit of a drawback if you have a small child in a wheelchair. My son's height in his wheelchair limited his view of some of the attractions. The staff did bring a couple of aneome around in a little container for him to pet. It is totally worth the money.
It's a cool idea but expensive for the amount of stuff there is. Luckily you can go through more than once.
Magical experience! We've been here with kids aged between 4 & 14; everyone (including the adults) was awestruck & enthralled. There is enough educational opportunity to satisfy the older kids & adults without any "forced education" to bore the little ones. You feel up close & personal with the sea life. Highly recommended!
Many animals, and exhibits. From sharks to sea corral that you can touch, Sea Life is definitely worth a visit!
Went on a family trip to MOA and decided to check this place out. My children loved it, I loved seeing my kids so happy seeing creatures they otherwise cant see.
We spent more time waiting in line than looking at fish. There were some cool features, but it was priced too high and there was too much wait time for what it was.
It s kind of expensive for what you get and it s always crowded. The addition is nice and adds a new point of interest. I miss the rays swimming over us in the underwater tunnel but it s still beautiful and a fun 20-30 minute walk through.
Great place to learn about diversity and the world around us. Had fun being exposed to the rich cultures of the world!!
Family had a great time. Expensive for a family of five but glad we saw it.
Heavy on the, "dId you know? Jellyfish have tentacles!", type signs and low on actual wildlife. Definitely a for- profit kinda place.
They like alligators cause they go snap snap hissss
Loved it bit for 22.00 for about 15 mins. A little pricey
Awesome place. Pretty busy midday Saturdays, but fun place regardless. My young cousins had a lot of fun.
What a gem! This place is fantastic!! We will go again!!
It's a little pricey, and it doesn't take very long to look at all the exhibits. The kids will enjoy it, though. The sharks are especially cool.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE CAN I LIVE HERE PLEASE!?
I had a 40% off that was rejected at the end of transation because it was spring break. No notice of this rule anywhere. Sad Grandma taken advantage of.
Best birthday gift. I had a blast for never going there.
They've really done a nice job of adding new things to see and do. Discounts can be found at several restaurants on the mall.
It's fun. Not a lot to do. I wouldn't pay full price for it.
We went on a very busy day, but we had tons of fun! The underwater tunnel was so fun for our 3 year old daughter. Lots of different animals swimming literally inches from your face. Super cool!
I have been here one time before and it never fails to impress. The staff is super friendly and the exhibits are top notch! Highly recommend!
Amazing sights, I loved the glass tunnel. Not a lot of variety of things like jelly fish, and a bit expensive. However, I did enjoy it. The gift shop was very cute as well.
A bit over priced and what most would call too crowded, ultimately a cool experience in an otherwise terrible mall. Getting to see sea critters up close was awesome, though there are plenty of little things they try to get you to buy - especially if you have kids.
My family loves this place! We had an annual pass last year and we made pretty good use of it. Sea Life has a rainforest exhibit, lots of underwater walkways, a project area that sometimes head activities, an area with thanks for smaller creatures, a jellyfish area, a ray pool and a tide pool (hands-on exhibit). They do a lot with conservation and wildlife rescue. At the start of the experience you can grab a 'passport' and collect stamps as you walk through, and at the desk near the end, you can trade your completed 'passport' for a badge - very fun for kids! They take your group's picture at the beginning and you can order them just before you reach the gift shop. The gift shop has surprisingly fair priced items, if you are looking for a souvenir, (other than the badge). You can buy food to feed the rays, too, if you want even more stuff to do. And at different times of the day you can see some animals live in the rainforest exhibit, and you can watch feedings, I believe, in the underwriter area at specific times. I definitely think this is fun for younger kids and families. If we get another Groupon for an annual pass, we will for sure purchase it again!!
It was fun. We took our 2 year old daughter. She loved it, but she loves fish. I thought it was worth what we spent. We also bought a picture of us and a "sea life" frame. The tour took us about 45 minutes.
