From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Underwater Adventures Aquarium is a public aquarium located in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, USA. It is home to more than 4,500 aquatic creatures, including a large collection of sharks and rays. The 1.2 million-gallon aquarium also features sea turtles, octopuses, and lobsters. Freshwater exhibits include game fish from the northern region of the United States, several giant catfish and an 180-pound alligator gar from the Southern United States. The key exhibit feature is a clear, acrylic tunnel about the length of a football field. This allows visitors to explore the underwater world while remaining quite dry.
