Mall of America Aquarium - worth it?

[Twin_II]

Hi all,

I'm out in Minnesota on a business trip and am wonder if the trip to Minneapolis to see it is worth it? Should I make it?

Thanks,
Sarah

The mall is a really cool tank. the guy who built it is a genius. you need to goto the zoo its more vibrant IMHO. and generaly a better time uh...unless you want cocktails then mall yeah mall for sure Hooters!

i live 10 min away from it and yes it is worth it. make sure u walk through the gift shop and on the other side is the shark/ray petting tank. make sure to listen to how uneducated the people are that work there. i purposely ask them stuff just to see the stupid looks on their faces!! all in all its a good time.

well, it is cool to be in a tube uner the water, but as a reefer, i think ou would be muc happier at the reef at the minnesota zoo in apple valley. you can sit and watch for a long time and also have other ecology to see while you are there.
the mall is fun, but when you are done there, drive the 20 minutes south to the zoo. you know when you read about the maxium size that fish get in the reef books but have no concept about what a 12" fish looks like when they are only 2" in our tanks? well, they really do get that big. pretty cool.
e-mail if you need more info.
