SEA LIFE Minnesota Helps Its Duluth Friends – Two or Four Legged

Frenzie the Seal washed away in Duluth Flooding

Whether four-legged or two-legged, SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium wants to help their up-state neighbors in Duluth. With the recent flooding in the Duluth community as well as the Lake Superior Zoo, SEA LIFE Minnesota at Mall of America will be donating $2 of every online ticket sold this weekend (Friday, June 22 – Sunday, June 24) to Lake Superior Zoo. This will help the Zoo pay for needed cleaning supplies and maintenance needs to get the Zoo back to where it was before the flooding. 

Not forgetting about our human friends in Duluth and surrounding cities, SEA LIFE Minnesota will also be offering free admission this weekend to all Duluth residents along with other hard-hit areas including Hermantown, Cloquet, and Carlton, Proctor. The residents will just need to go online to SEA LIFE’s website, print out a voucher, and show their drivers license to receive free admission at the Aquarium this weekend.

The SEA LIFE Animal Care team also understands, but cannot completely comprehend the Zoo’s loss. Ben Minerich, Sr. Aquarist commented, “When an unexpected tragic of this magnitude happens, it is difficult to be prepared to react. The efforts of the Lake Superior Zoo are commendable.” Aquarist Tania Roos added, “Any loss is significant because you grow more and more attached daily to the animals. Our hearts go out to the Lake Superior Zoo.”
