On the third day of our travels, we went to the Mall of America Aquarium. The original plan was to go shopping, but we had absolutely no space in the Civic for the purchases I would have made. Or the extra cash. After all, it is the second biggest mall in North America, after the West Edmonton Mall which I will tackle this winter... SO to say I went to the Mall of America, the aquarium was a great compromise. I had to go to this mall because Mary-Kate and Ashley filmed a movie here, and I have wanted to go since I was a young grasshopper. The Sea Life Aquarium is the largest underground aquarium in the world, and the first part of the exhibit was interactive where you got to touch different sea creatures.
Crazy little eels!
Sea horse picture for mom... they were really neat!
My FAVOURITE creature in the aquarium, hilarious with his buck teeth!
After the sea horses and jellyfish areas... there was a huge tunnel that you walked through. It's 300 feet long and sharks literally swim over your head. It was probably the closest I'll ever be to sharks and I am okay with that!!
All in all, it was a really fun experience. We didn't know about the walk-through tunnel, which was definitely the highlight. It was a pleasant surprise!! After the aquarium, we began our long journey to South Dakota. Mount Rushmore and more coming soon!
