Sea Life at Mall of America

Sea Life at Mall of America is a public aquarium in Minnesota that houses thousands of marine animals including sharks, rays, seahorses, and sea turtles. The facility features multiple viewing zones and a transparent walkway where guests can observe fish and creatures swimming above and around them.

This facility first opened in 1996 as UnderWater World and later became part of a larger entertainment group. The change in ownership brought new management and eventually a new name to align with a chain of similar attractions.

This place serves as a learning hub where visitors encounter marine life in carefully designed habitats that reflect ocean ecosystems. Educational presentations throughout the day help guests understand how different creatures adapt to their underwater worlds.

The aquarium is located within a shopping mall and is easily accessible when visiting the shopping complex. Plan for at least a couple of hours to comfortably walk through the different zones and catch scheduled feeding demonstrations.

A long transparent tunnel allows visitors to walk beneath sharks and large sea creatures as they swim overhead. This immersive perspective transforms the viewing experience from observation into something far more engaging.
