Sleep Under The Sea

Looking for an adventure of a lifetime for your kids? Here at SEA LIFE Minnesota you can experience sleeping under the sea OVERNIGHT!

Get ready for an experience that your group will never forget! This adventure gives you a backstage pass to the aquarium, where you can see all the animals in a very unique way. Sleep beneath sharks, sea turtles, and sting rays, OH MY! This amazing view will take your breath away.

Take a hike around the aquarium, then enjoy a Behind the Scenes tour of our  food-prep kitchen, laboratory and the "top of the tanks" - above the aquarium exhibits and as close as possible to over 150 sharks without getting wet! After you have had a chance to experience the Behind the Scenes tour, we provide a pizza party for your group to refuel, along with doughnuts and juice in the morning. 


We wouldn't let you leave empty handed. Every member of your group receives a souvenir pillow case, spotters guide, and T-shirt to remind them of their awesome time at SEA LIFE Minnesota. So when you are looking for a place to take your family or group on your next outing, come spend the night at SEA LIFE and experience something your kids will be talking about for years!

A Seahorse Baby Boom & $5 Off Admission!


Not even the Duggars can compare to the recent baby boom at SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium. Over 200 babies from the Lined Seahorse family have been born over the last few weeks, with 150 of them just recently born about a week ago. The most recent babies are less than a half inch long, while the older juveniles are nearing four inches long. In addition, the aquarium currently has a male Tiger Tail Seahorse displaying signs of pregnancy. This species has yet to be bred at SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium.
 
SEA LIFE Minnesota has many reasons to be thankful for due to its new bundles of joy. The more seahorses born in captivity equates to less being taken from the wild. With the continued success of our seahorse breeding program, SEA LIFE Minnesota is effectively minimizing the impact on our oceans. Looking forward, the aquarium will work with other zoos and aquariums to trade or swap their “bundles of joy” for other seahorses to help diversify the genetic pool. This is very important to the success of the aquarium’s breeding program.

To celebrate the new arrivals, SEA LIFE is having a baby shower to help underprivileged new families with supplies for their own new bundle of joy. SEA LIFE Minnesota is partnering with Bundles of Love, a non-profit which, in 2011, provided baby items to approximately 6,100 families. Any guest(s) that donates new baby wipes, baby lotion or diapers will receive $5 off of Aquarium admission now through July 22nd (limit 6 per item).
