SEA Life Minnesota

Starfish, stingrays, and jellyfish swim about in a 1,200,000-gallon tunnel beneath department stores at the Sea Life Aquarium, located on the first floor of Minneapolis’s Mall of America. Glass tunnels burrow through shark-infested waters, and specialty experiences like behind-the-scenes tours, snorkeling, and sleepovers provide enticing upgrades. Pro tip: Buy your tickets online to save some extra dough. When buying online, general admission costs $19.99 for adults (originally $24.49); $14.99 for children ages three through 12 (originally $17.49); and is free for children under three.
