SEA LIFE at Mall of America

SEA LIFE at Mall of America is at 120 E. Broadway in the Mall of America. This underground walk-through aquarium allows visitors to come nose to nose with thousands of sea creatures, including sharks, sea turtles and stingrays. Touch a starfish, anemone or crab, get an up-close look at seahorses, watch jellyfish and explore a rainforest. A 45-minute behind-the-scenes tour gives visitors a look at the facilities where food is prepared for the aquarium's residents as well as a peek at the inner workings of the display tanks.

Talks are given daily; phone ahead or check the schedule online.

Guided tours are available. Time: Allow 1 hour minimum.
