Caiman Crocs: Now on Exhibit!

VET worked hard crafting "Welcome Home" signs for
SEA LIFE Minnesota's newest creatures.
 
A couple months ago, two Caiman Crocs arrived at SEA LIFE Minnesota... Today, the two sisters joined the rest of their Amazonian friends in the Aquarium's newest exhibit: Mysteries of the Rainforest! Not only did the surrounding animals express interest in the duo, but a local special-needs group, VET, also stopped by to greet the Caiman!

The Caiman Crocs made it home just in time for Mysteries of the Rainforest's grand opening - TODAY! SEA LIFE Minnesota is thrilled to welcome many exciting animals to the new exhibit. Some favorites include: Poison Dart Frogs, Tortoises, and Piranha!


Though, the Caiman Crocs are now proving to be a favorite among both staff and guests. The two sisters love to play in the water and entertaining guests by hiding among the floating vegetation.

There was no better way to welcome these two home then to provide them with their very own welcome party ...well, nothing better than lowering our ticket prices! (of course) This weekend only (March 16-18, 2012), visit SEA LIFE Minnesota & see our new Mysteries of the Rainforest exhibit and pay only $9.99/child and $11.99/adult (ticket prices do not include tax).

The new price will only be valid online throughout this weekend (from now until Sunday, March 18, 2012). Click here to visit our website and purchase your discounted tickets for this weekend!

Stop by to see our brand new Caiman Crocs, as well as all the Mysteries of the Rainforest!

Kevin Love Releases New Octopus

Yesterday was an exciting day for the 10,000 sea creatures of SEA LIFE Minnesota, because a local celebrity joined them under the sea.


Kevin Love, from the Minnesota Timberwolves, visited the Aquarium to help release his new pal K-Love, a Vulgaris Octopus. The basketball all-star assisted Aquarium staff with releasing his 8-legged namesake into his new home, which will be near the Aquarium's Harbor exhibit. 


Kevin and K-Love have more in common than one may think.  Both the octopus, K-Love, and Kevin Love have excellent grabbing ability – one to grab boards, the other mainly grabs food. An octopus is also one of the smartest animals in the sea, while Kevin is surely one of the smartest on the court. Lastly, both Kevin and K-Love will be making Minnesota proud for many years to come.


After Kevin welcomed K-Love to his new home, he treated Hope Kids (a group of children facing life-threatening illnesses) to a private meet & greet and ice cream - what a great guy!
