🏆 Family Action Verdict

Reliable indoor option for families with kids of any age, especially on cold Minnesota days when Mall of America is already on the itinerary. The shark tunnel and touch pools are the clearest hits for younger children. All-day re-entry makes it easy to split the visit and return after lunch elsewhere in the mall.

“This place is amazing!!! SO many beautiful fish, some I've never even heard of let alone seen in real life! There were several sharks and Atleast 3 HUGE turtles. There's also fun ways for people to get super close to the marine life and alligators. I used to come here as a child for GIRL Scouts and sleep underwent the sharks. I hadnt been here in decades but I will be coming back more often. If you love the ocean or lake this is the place for you!”

“This place is amazing!!!!!!!! I have been here twice. Both times was great . Been about 10 years in between. This last time was just as good as 10 years ago. The place is kept clean and all the animals are really taken care of and cared for. Had a blast both times . If u come to The Mall of America you must put this place on the list to do and see. All the staff was super nice and helpful. I look forward to my next visit.”

“At The Mall of America we visited Sea Life. The $25.00 ticket is good all day. We went back for a second visit and saw animals that were not visible the first time. The staff are very knowledgeable and answer all questions. They go great work trying to save fish species and protecting the environment and give you a great understanding of how fragile life is for the various fish and animals they display”
