- RSRoland Samuels4 days ago5.0At 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
- CMCarrie MugrdechianNov 16, 20254.0This is a fun place to go and bring the kids. Unfortunately, the prices are high and could be costly for a larger family. I understand they need $ to support the sea life, but I just wanted to say the cost may affect your decision on going. Otherwise, a great experience. I definitely recommend.
- DDDanielleNov 16, 20254.0Wow what a cool experience!! I knew I would enjoy! It makes me very curious about the beauty of sea life, we must preserve it for the sea creatures! Such wonderful adventure inside with so much to see and learn! It was very crowded and busy on a Saturday night! I would suggest maybe choosing a different time when it would be less crowded, afternoons probably during the week!
- KBKerri BrewerNov 6, 20254.0Loved seeing all the different types of sea creatures. Its just simply done and done nicely. Theres a little hole for the kids to crawl into and i love the underwater walkways. The little stamp book was an awesome touch for our 6 year old and her cousin, was a cute little token they received for filling out the book. We've gone twice, the first time was 2 years after covid and this last time was about 2 years ago and they had people out and about with little creatures we got to see in person so that was pretty awesome. The touch pool is cool too. Yes you can get through it all in like 20-30 minutes but we just went back and forth between the different areas and spent a good hour there. I'd recommend it more for the younger crowd but I was entertained as well.
- ACandrea carrollOct 26, 20255.0We visited recently, and everyone in our group ages 1 to 60 had a great time! There was truly something for everyone to enjoy. As the mom, I did get a little overstimulated with the crowds and people pushing through, but my kids absolutely loved it. I really liked that they offered a stamp book for the kids to collect and earn a prize. It was a fun touch! When I was younger, the touch tank included stingrays, and I’d always looked forward to sharing that with my kids. They no longer offer it, which I was initially a bit disappointed about, but I completely understand and appreciate that it’s better for the animals. We’ll definitely be back! It’s well worth the price, and I love that your ticket allows you to leave and return the same day. Next time, we’ll plan to go both in the morning and again in the evening to make the most of it.
