We had an amazing experience at SEA LIFE Aquarium! We came with the whole family and took my middle son there for his 9th birthday. Pete went above and beyond by giving the kids an upstairs tour and even letting them feed the turtles! It was such a fun, memorable experience, and the kids absolutely loved it.
Thank you, Pete, for making our son’s birthday extra special and for creating such a wonderful memory for our family! We truly appreciate the kindness and the opportunity to experience something new during our visit. We highly recommend SEA LIFE Aquarium! 🐢❤️

We went here for my son's 6th birthday. We meet an employee named Pete...he was amazing... he taught my son all about sharks and let him even touch shark teeth... when he learned it was my son's birthday he took us on a back stage tour and let us see the sharks from the top of the water... he even got to feed the turtles.
Pete made our trip amazing... I highly recommend Sea life at the mall of america..
Thank you Pete

I was genuinely surprised at how well they take care of their animals. I usually don't like seeing animals in cages, but they all have names 😭💗💗 and I learned that most of their turtles, Stingray, and fish are rescue / cannot survive on their own in the wild. One of the workers, sara, saw how much our family loved the sea mammals and offered take us up and feed the turtles., it was great ! I also LOVE how long the walk through tunnel is ( :

Went on a Wednesday September 30. The value vs price was very unreasonable VERY high. It'd been nice to have a discount and offer for a 1 x same day return visit. Very quiet except for moms with running toddlers. The extra packet Ranger $6 was a rip off, the stamp machines throughout the experience were hard to make a noticeable stamp a waste of effort. The gal at the Wade touch pool was fantastic and great with littles questions.

I took my girlfriend to the sealife aquarium today. We had a phenomenal experience. One of the staff members Sharla, let us feed the turtles and see the sharks. It was such an awesome experience. Shout out to her for helping us, being so kind and for making this experience one to remember! My girlfriend was super happy and seeing her smile made my day and it was all because of the sealife aquarium!!
