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.
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👍

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.
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!
Our family of 5 enjoyed this although my teen found it a bit underwhelming. The tunnel of fish, sharks, stingray and turtles was the main attraction. The other stuff was just fluff. My kids liked getting the stamps on the dive log along the way and the prize at the end in the gift shop was cute. The gift shop wasn’t too crazy priced and they had a good variety of product and prices.
I took a star off for lack of direction and having to wait in line a few different times. We didn’t know you have to redeem your online tickets for paper ones until we got to the front of the main entrance line. Then we had to wait in the guest services line to redeem our online tickets which I wish we would’ve known that before!. And after that we had to get in the main line again and wait again. It was a bit frustrating. I liked how they only let a few people in line so we didn’t feel crowded or rushed.

Super fun aquarium and bigger than I expected! Lots of different sea life and other critters to look at while you’re there. Giftshop was reasonably priced and had lots of cool souvenirs. The touch pool was a little underwhelming. But still cool. On the down side it was a little pricey and lots of people were walking in without paying. When we asked if they stopped people going in for free we got told “they don’t control the general public”. So if you want a free aquarium trip this is the place to go!
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.
Lots of fun at the aquarium! Try and use toddler Tuesday promotion (child free with adult) or another coupon. I had a hard time using a promo code in the app but it was easy at the kiosk! The aquarium itself is well maintained and clean. There seems to be respect for the animals. Lots of beautiful species. There is a touch pool at the end. The huge turtle is my favorite. I would visit on a weekday to avoid crowds. In terms of wheelchair and stroller accessibility, it is accessible but if trying to navigate with a wheelchair it will obviously be easier on a weekday. The exhibits are set up nicely so that for the most part it isn’t obstructed view in a wheelchair.
