SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium, Public aquarium in Mall of America, Bloomington, United States.
SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium is a public facility within the Mall of America shopping complex with more than a million gallons of water across multiple areas. The location displays thousands of marine animals arranged in eleven themed zones that represent different ocean habitats.
The facility opened in 1996 and has grown into Minnesota's largest aquarium center. Over the years, the collection expanded with new marine species and the facility adapted to better serve visitors.
The facility shares information about ocean conservation and connects visitors with the diversity of marine life found in different waters. People come here to learn and develop interest in protecting aquatic environments.
The facility sits conveniently within the shopping center, allowing visitors to split time between shopping and viewing animals. Check opening hours in advance and plan at least two to three hours for a comfortable visit.
A 300-foot tunnel with transparent walls lets visitors observe large sharks and rescued sea turtles from various angles as they swim around and above. This design creates a feeling of being underwater alongside the animals.
