SEA LIFE was amazing! I went on a weekday morning, and it was practically empty. The tunnel was beautiful and peaceful – seeing sharks and stingrays swim above us was incredible. We even got to feed the turtles and watch the sawfish being fed! They take your picture and you can buy it at the end. We got our tickets for free through the Mall of America app, which was a great bonus! Definitely worth a visit!

This place is beautiful! My kids loved it, and the facilities were clean. It was a great experience. The first day I went, it was packed, so I came back the next day when they opened at 10 am, and I got right in.

SEA LIFE is a great aquarium with knowledgeable staff and excellent customer service. It's fully accessible for motorized scooters. The only issue is the virtual reality experience, which isn't accessible for everyone. They should consider an accessible option for people who can't climb into the pod chair. My daughter said a headset without the pod movement would be just as enjoyable. Otherwise, it's a fantastic experience to share with family!

This place is amazing, and the staff was incredibly helpful. I bought tickets at the mall kiosk, but they didn't print. The staff at customer service refunded me and gave me a free set of tickets! My kids absolutely loved it!

The tickets are a bit pricey (around $25 each), but there's a lot to see and do. The exhibits are well-maintained, and there are lots of close-up encounters with the animals. My daughter loved seeing the sharks. I recommend going if you're really interested in marine life.

SEA LIFE is a great aquarium, but it can get crowded, especially on weekends. I recommend going early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the crowds.

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.

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.

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.
