Fun aquarium with lots of touch pools. Great for kids with lots of interactive exhibits and some play areas. Possibly every kids dream of getting to watch otters slide while using their own kid slide too. Skunks were fun to was too.
Also, great for adults with lots of informative exhibits and signage.
Would go back. Spent about 2.5 hrs with a 2 year old, which was enough time to walk through all major areas.
It's a great place with a lot of information about Lake Superior, the other Great Lakes, and their ecosystems, but it seems overpriced to me. $20 per adult and $10 for parking.
It's definitely kid-friendly, but I guess I was expecting more than just two levels of exhibits for $20. But it is really interesting to read about the different types of wildlife in the lakes, and they also had several non-aquatic animals as well.
The exhibit on shipwrecks was really fascinating.
I enjoyed it, but I would prefer to pay somewhere in the $12-15 range for adult admission and nothing for parking.
Loved it.
There are stations to touch Jellyfish, and Sturgeon?! Definitely some unique experiences to be had! Everything here really is cool, and they are a sanctuary for local various injured and etc. Minnesotan animals as well.
There's a gift shop named "Explorers Cove Gift shop", and penny smashers, so you definitely can get some souvenirs. Parking is 10 bucks for 5 hours, you can pay online, or at the Grey Kiosk at the front of the building.
We love taking our little one to the aquarium! It's a great indoor activity to get out of the house in winter and it's educational! If you plan to visit 2-3 times a year then a membership might be worth it for you.
This was so much fun! We spent over three hours going through the exhibits.
The staff was very friendly and super knowledgeable. They were able to answer any question we had about the animals and then some.
We even had the opportunity to touch jellyfish, sturgeons, starfish, and shrimp. Something we had never done at other aquariums.
I also enjoyed that they display information not just the types of animals they have but then also about the specific animals they have and where they were found, how old they are, and why they might not be able to survive in the wild.
I love this place. It's small enough to get a nice walk in and see all the wonderful animals. Great for kids as they have a lot of touch activities!
The aquarium is very neat and was fun to visit. Tickets were a little expensive but goes to a good cause to help the animals. I did think they could have validated parking if you bought a ticket as it cost $10 to park for up to 5 hours which was the cheapest. Overall fun to see with family.
We always have a great time visiting the aquarium and have been probably a dozen times. Lovely, interesting exhibits, many interactive. Informative talks, and beautiful views of the harbor, lake and city.
