Top Aquariums Oceanariums in Minnesota

I think you should grab a snack at the cafe, but maybe skip the pizza. It was kinda pricey and not great. There are also some good spots nearby if you wanna eat out after!

I recommend visiting right when they open at 10 AM. It wasn't super packed, and you get to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, the staff seemed more available to chat and answer questions.

I think you should definitely bring a camera, but be mindful of the reflections in the tanks; a little trial and error helped me get some awesome shots without glare.

I recommend visiting on a weekday morning if you can; it was way less crowded around 10 AM, and we could actually see the exhibits without fighting the weekend crowds.
