SEA LIFE Minnesota Review

It was not what I expected. It was amazing loved it. Beautifully set up.

Great place! Finally visited this aquarium after been coming to the MOA since it opened. I brought visitors from Brazil/Brasil and they found some species from their own country! Be ready to take those beautiful pics-vids!

I remember coming here 10 years ago and it was pretty cool as a kid, slightly underwhelming as a jaded adult given the $25 price tag. Might be worth it earlier in the day as I believe the prices are a bit lower before a certain time in the afternoon, otherwise you could probably skip it

I honestly go here because my daughter asks me to every now and then. For $25 apiece, it s such an incredible ripoff. I suppose that s mainly due to the high operational costs of having an aquarium that size in a mall.

It seems interesting, but didn't get to see anything. WAY TOO OVERPRICED

So fun and behind the seen was a nice addition. For an aquarium in the mall it was tons of fun.

I've been to this place a few times before, but this last time was not as great. I understand they are under construction but shouldn't the price go down if stuff is missing? Also my absolute favorite thing that I used to do here, the thing that made me think this was one of the best aquariums ever is hand feeding the stingrays and they said that isn't doable anymore. So I'm a bit upset by that. I did go on a behind the scene tour also. The guide David was great! He was hilarious (in a corny/punny way) made the experience very fun. And he had lots of knowledge.

Has variety of sea life! It is very calming to be inside the aquarium! The downside might be if there are too many people when you come!

The gal helping at the main desk, Rachel, was not cheerful and unenthusiastic. It made the start of our trip to the Aquarium less than stellar

I'm sad that we can't get the dive with the sharks package any longer but it's still an amazing place to visit. I was quite happy to see calipso back in the main aquarium again too

I always have a great experience here!! Staff is always super friendly and knowledgeable. I had the pleasure of doing the vip package which includes the behind the scenes tour. Definitely a must do!! Our tour guide Phil was incredible! Very nice and shared lots of knowledge and facts with us.

Amazing sites lots to see there crew knows what there talkin about

$48 for myself and my daughter all for about a 5 minute walk thru. Still some cool fish though

This place is much better now that they have some cool animals that people actually WANT to see. Like sharks. So many sharks. Manta rays just don't cut it.

It was amazing my nephew loves it there and the price isn't bad. Will be going again soon!

Longest wait I've ever had to see fish I feel like you should at least see it once in your life after that it's not worth it unless you have kids

Really fun! Little spendy. But worth it! Sharks! turtles! Minnesota waterlife!

I've come here about a dozen times and still enjoy going through. Great experience for family or date night! ;D

Still a great experience, although now you can't touch any of the fish. Very much worth the $$.

This is a wonderful place to take your friends and family of all ages to enjoy variety of marine life.

Fun, but a little expensive. Kids love going there and since we live just over an hour would love to take niece and nephew more but cost too much to go frequently.

Very much enjoyed ourselves. The feeding time was a neat experience, especially the sharks. Many great pictures. Speaking of pictures, they offer them, although, my 4yo was mostly cropped out. Suggest they watch the placement of kids and make it a good pic you want to buy. Other than that, great family time.

The aquarium as a whole is small but that tunnel is worth it. It really is a submursed experience!

A fun aquarium to bring your family to. Walk-through aquarium and touch tanks.

Honestly there was way more to see than I thought there be. Very cool!

Great attendants/ "crew". The lines should be a little more limited.

This place has lots of variety of sea animals and some of the animals you can pet! Lovely experience

Worth it for the huge tank that you walk through will tons of sharks and cool fish. Also the octopus was cool you. I went around 4pm on a Wednesday in the summer and there wasn't crowded at all.

It is a great place to take the kids and it has plenty of fish and activities. The only thing that is youI can't touch the sting rays anymore.

It was fun and educational only thing the price was expensive if you was familiar with under water world it was long but since it has change to Sealife it seem like it has shortened the walk thru

I got my tickets for free randomly by some random people at the mall so I'm like okay I'll bite. My gf and I deeply enjoy aquatic life so we thought this would be cool. The only downfall is it's a bit pricey for how much there is.

Granted it was a bit overpriced, it was a fun night of watching Sea Life. Best of all, attached right to the Mall of America.

Lots of fun and we went through it 2 times as the pass is for all day

Been wanting to visit for years. I finally got to visit the Sea Life even under these circumstances it was a great experience!!!

waste of time and money. very few things to see the jelly fish area is worst than i thought just one kind of jelly fish and nothing els more. not worth it at all.

Couldn't believe how many animals they have here. Love it.

HUGE PLACE, FUN ACTIVITIES FOR LITTLE ONES, ALL TYPE OF STORES. ONLY DOWN SIDE IS THE PARKING. TOO MUCH DRIVING AROUND FOR ONE.

good place in mall of america to see the sealife, fun for kids..can be busy and long lines on weekends..gettingban yearly pass is a good cheaper option if you are a frequent visitor!

It's a great place. Fun day with the grandkids. Docents are great

Very disappointed paid for a group tour. We got to the water testing area first area of the tour and had to leave due to not wanting to ruin the experience for others. I think you need to specify that a group tour and regular admission is in fact a large combined group tour I would have never spent 200$ for a group of five to take a tour with 7-10 other people. I had a autistic child with me. Very uncomfortable for him. Also very crowded and only a few pleasant welcoming staff!

Went for there pressed penny machine, employees are very friendly.

For our first time there it was a great experience! Questions were answered efficiently and we loved looking at everything.

It's spendy to go but it's well kept and friendly staff.

Fun times! Recommend buying combo Sealife and simulator Fly over America for one price!

It was an awesome experience, just wish there was more to see for the money you pay.

Take your time moving though because its a bit short given the admission price. However, what it does have is simply incredible and definitely worth going for.

Pricy. Everything is money and not moderates amounts.

They don't let you pet the stingrays or skates like they do where I am from but there are amazing sharks, groupers, jellies, and it is so worth it!

Very cool, always wanted to go in a tunnel like that. Very long wait on a Saturday. Thankfully once we got a quarter the way through the crowd spread out a bit. Friendly staff (unless you decline a picture then they are disappoint) sharks/rays were cool, I like turtles. Seems like it's air-conditioned in the tunnel which was nice but I'm sure it's more to keep the water at the right temp for the fishes. Find out a slow time to go then hit it up.

If you live out of state you pay a large extra amount for tickets. If you show YOUR MN ID WITH MN ADDRESS you get a DISCOUNT on ALL TICKET PRICES. I gave a low rating because of the out of state price differences and the fact that I paid 90 bucks for my wife and two kids to go and was done in less then half an hour. I feel there should be more for what you pay.

Way too many people there for us to be able to take time to see anything! We were rushed through the aquarium and rainforest and for the money spent it was not worth it. We bought VIP tickets for us and our 3 kids and didn't even get to feed the sting rays because there was so many people. We ended up missing our scheduled time for our tour because we couldn't get through the lines fast enough. I think they should allow you to go through the tour whenever you want if there's room available. We spent over 4 hours at the mall and 3 of it was spent getting to and from the sea life aquarium area and eating lunch at A&W. I wouldn't suggest going on a weekend especially if you have kids and want to see anything! Also it said the price online was $25 and I was charged $27. I called twice and no one called me back! They should limit the amount of people allowed in at one time so you're not rushed! Overall very disappointed!

The shark/fish tunnel is the highlight of all the exhibits..Pricey considering the number of exhibits to see. Nice for small kids. Search for occasional BOGO or other discount deals to save money on tickets.

A great place for kids and adults. There is a large variety of species.
