underwater adventure

Jellyfish in colored tanks. Stingrays, sharks and other creatures you can pet. Take your time walking through the glass tunnel with all the sea creatures all around. Lots of walking but at your own pace. Our backstage tour was the only let down. Boring.

We are local and my youngest asked to have Underwater Adventure as her birthday party activity. I would definitely recommend checking out the annual pass option, as it pays for itself after only a couple visits. Since we have the annual pass we have been there a few times, and we have enjoyed ourselves each time. There is a small touching area where you can touch starfish, lobsters, and other creatures, and soon there will be a stingray touching tank too. The Jellyfish and Seahorse exhibits are really cool, but the best part is walking under the main tanks housing all sorts of sea creatures from sharks to freshwater fish. On our last visit we finally realized that our kids could get a "Dive Book" and get stamps at stations throughout the tour, then show their completed Dive Book at the end for a little souvenir. My youngest especially had a blast getting all of her stamps and her souvenir.

Photo ops, underwater and environmental education, Underwater Adventure has it all! Once the daily wristband is purchased, your family can enjoy Underwater Adventure all day! The end of the park has a gift shop.

Ive been to the Georgia Aquarium, the National Aquarium in Baltimore as well. This Aquarium adventure is incredible and I highly advise to experience this.

This was a fun attraction. You felt as though you were in with the sea life with the tunnel. It was on the more expensive side for the amount of time it took. But worth the visit at least once.

This is a definite must go if you are planning a visit to the Mall of America! Took my 3yr old grandson and spent time looking at the dozens of exhibits of everything from sea turtles to the sharks in the large overhead tanks! So many varieties of underwater life and knowledgeable staff to explain their purposes! Good attraction for all ages.

This attraction has been renamed, as the ownership has changed. The original name was Underwater Adventure in the Mall of America. It is now known as Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium at the Mall of America. If you are already at the Mall of America (Bloomington, MN), then this attraction is worth it to see. However, as with most high-priced attractions, look for discounts. Current promotions can be found on their website. Deep online discounts for out of state residents, and even deeper online discount for MN residents if you purchase your tickets online.We had the chance to take a 45 minute behind the scenes tour for $5 additional each person. Actually this was more interesting than viewing the aquarium itself, as we were able to get a full, in depth tour of their labs, breeding tanks, facilities, and actually see feedings.Also the Mall of America can be really crowded on weekends, so I would suggest visiting during the weekday if you can.

Our family really enjoyed the Underwater Adventure. We were lucky enough to take a "behind the scenes" tour, which fortunately included feeding the animals. It was a terrific experience and one which we all enjoyed! We would highly recommend taking this tour on your visit to Underwater Adventure.

My kids and I love to go to Underwater Adventures. It's a little spendy but if you go on a Tuesday with your toddlers at least you can get a cheap meal for them afterwards! Toddler Tuesdays at the MOA! There are also frequently coupons in the paper.

We really enjoyed the amount of things to see and do at the Underwater Adventure. We loved the opportunity to touch the stingrays, baby sharks, and star fish. The gift shop is quite pricey, but overall totally worth the extra few dollars.

We went here with our grandchildren, and everyone had a nice time. The tunnel underwater was especially neat. There are some really nice size sharks swimming right by us, which was really fun to watch. Tide pool was nice where kids could reach in and touch the sea urchins & starfish. Good for all ages.

My family iwth 2 boys ages 7 and 10, really enjoyed Underwater Adventure. Having lived in Minneapolis, we purchased a memebership for the year, and even though we thoughly used the membership, I'm not sure if I would recomend it. After touring the facility 2x's we pretty much just breezed though it after that.

This is great for kids of all ages. Don't go without a coupon, however. Its quite expensive. Sharkey usually wanders around the mall handing out coupons. Grab one.
