Tuesdays are "Toddler Tuesdays"--adults pay child prices ~$12. Plenty of fish to see, wished that it was prettier and more tropical looking in the tanks. My 1 yr old really enjoyed it and so did I. more

The Underwater Adventures attraction at the Mall of America is really fun for families with small children. There is a moving walkway that takes you through an underwater tunnel where sharks and sting rays swim over your head. You can step off the walkway at anytime to get a better look at the creatures. The Seahorse Kingdom was a big... more

#1-- coupons for this are available everywhere. use them! This place is way too expensive! #2-- slow down! You can step off the moving walkway and enjoy Underwaterworld. Actually look at it! If you ride the walkway you'll be done in 60 seconds. a total waste. Step off, look at the underwater creatures/fish. step back on. move a bit. step... more

Before leaving for MN, I’d read reviews of the Aquarium and one person had mentioned that it was a rip off. While I wouldn’t necessarily say the Aquarium was a rip off, I do believe that for the money spent, it didn’t really offer great value. We love aquariums and have visited many in other parts of the US and... more

...That's why I gave it a 3 instead of a 2. The admission is pretty outrageous for what it is. I think it's $18.95 for adults and $11.95 for children 2 and up. Sure, you can find those 'free child admission with a paid adult admission' EVERYWHERE...but...if there's more than a couple people going...it's going to cost you...regardless. As I... more

This place is a rip off. I'm going to guess they get about 1% repeat customers. Just the MOA tourists seem to go, nobody local bothers. more

After reading negative reviews, we were cautious to try out Underwater Adventures. However, I'm glad we went for it! Two adults and a 5 year old boy with the discount coupons we got right at the entrance cost under $50. There are several different areas to explore: - a Minnesota woods environment with a sloping wandering "wooded" path with stuffed... more

For what we paid I was expecting somewhere we'd spend the entire day not 2 hours at the most. The shark tunnel was interesting but that was the highlight of the entire aquarium. I have mixed feelings about the moving floor that goes thru the tunnel. On the one hand, it's nice after doing lots of walking in the mall... more

When we saw the advertising for this, we told ourselves it was a "can't miss" attraction and we made sure to schedule it into our Mall of America weekend trip. Our family of 4 shelled out the fifty-some bucks for admission and although we took our time, we got through the entire place within 20 minutes or so. Traveling through... more
