Had a ball with my granddaughters at Sea Life. We did the VIP tour which was probably over priced...we did get to see the aquariums from the top view which the girls loved. I'd definitely go back, just to the regular walk through.

Exceptional considering its location is inside a mall, you wouldn't expect to find this level of quality in a place like this. I've traveled and seen several zoo's and aquariums, but the underwater tunnel here alone makes my top 10. Excellent staff are helpful and informative the entire way through.

Cool exhibit, but rather overpriced. Maybe their traffic is too low and they need to make costs balance, but they could pump up the science and environmental matters being the current, very limited displays.

We loved it! We had a coupon, which was nice because admission is a bit pricey. I had my 4 year old and my teens with me and they all enjoyed it. At the end you can touch sea stars and sea anemones. Overall a good experience.

I've been to a few aquariums so my expectations of this place were pretty low. I was blown away! The overhead aquarium was awesome! There was a great variety of large fish and sharks and stingrays. I've been to aquariums that cost much more than this one and offered way less. It would have been cool to see some octopuses, other than that it was a super cool experience for a reasonable price.

We have had a membership here for at least the past two years and are there a few times per month.

They have added some new exhibits recently that are just great! I love the leafy sea dragons and the new jelly fish. I can't wait to see what they add next.

The staff is always so friendly and helpful with our 5 and 2.5 year old.

I would recommend staying far, far away on the weekends. It is insanely busy. We love Tuesday or Wednesday evenings the best as you almost have the place to yourself (shhh.... don't tell anyone).

Great place to bring your kids. We had 1 year old in a jogger stroller and 4 year old. We wished we had put the stoller in the stoller parking area by the coffee instead of trying to maneuver it through the crowds.

My kids had a blast but I'm not sure it was worth the price. Very pricey. They also had long lines to get in and not enough staff working. If going after 1, expect long lines to purchase tickets.

We spent a day at MOA with our two year old, and had a great time at Sea Life MN Aquarium! She loved the touch pool & some of the interactive pieces of the exhibit. Mom & Dad thought the tunnel was amazing, although our toddler did seem a little nervous being so up close to so many huge sea creatures! Overall a good time, and we look forward to coming back when she's a little older.

Whoops I meant to give 5 stars. If I could give 6 I would. We've been making an annual trip to the mall of America for some years now and our first and last stop is always the aquarium. Wish we lived closer so could go more often. A totally magical experience and a great place to recharge after all that shopping.

It's a pretty standard aquarium, maybe a bit pricey. I am not into aquariums much. I brought my mother in law here for mother's day weekend. She seemed to enjoy herself; she loves these things. The long tunnel where you are under water was the most impressive. My husband is a bit claustrophobic and didn't like that part much. I won't return. Once was enough.

It is a good place if you just want to see sea life. Sadly poor info on any of the animals. Also very big RIP off. Got season pass for family and right after they close 1/2 of it to remodel. Pass runs out just before new area is open. Sad they will not and didn't care how they screwed pass owners over and didn't tell half was closing. They could say we will give you more time on pass but didn't and showed no care.

This is an enjoyable experience with a good variety of species to see. The underwater tunnel is a great walk through and you could spend a lot of time there. I'd suggest finding out when they're least likely to be busy, as it's better with uncrowded walkways and without a lot of kids making noise. Would be nice to have a full touch tank experience with some fish or rays and adding an octopus exhibit would be an improvement.

It was a good time! It was really neat to see the fish, but I wish that I wasn't felt like I was rushed through. This is perfect for children, but not perfect for a date with your girlfriend. I might come again when they open the Amazon exhibit. Overall a really great place and I might come here with my kids in the future, but not for a date. Although if you want to eat and do stuff in the mall that could be a quick fun stop.
