Enjoy access to the Mall of America's top attractions with the Big Ticket Pass, which lets you explore Nickelodeon Universe, Minnesota Zoo, and Water Park of America, among others. More than 4.3 miles (6.9 km) of storefronts, 520 stores, and 6 theme parks await you at this amusement park-like mall.

Kick off your visit with Nickelodeon Universe, the nation's largest indoor amusement park. This 7-acre (2.8-ha) park includes giant, adrenaline-pumping roller-coasters, high swings, and all your favorite Nickelodeon characters.

Underneath the mall is SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium, a magnificent facility with over 10,000 sea creatures. Wander through the famous 300-foot (91-m) underwater tunnel, which creates the feeling of swimming with zebra sharks, musk turtles, and exotic fish.

Next up is the Water Park of America, the tallest indoor water park in the United States. Take advantage of a 10-story inner-tube slide, a wake pool, and an aquatic jungle gym. There's also a rafting experience that's perfect for the whole family.

The fun continues at the 485-acre (196-ha) Minnesota Zoo, with over 4,300 animals in spacious exhibits. Enjoy up-close encounters with the animals and learn about the zoo's many conservation projects. You can also check out the IMAX Theatre, which shows Hollywood blockbusters and documentaries.

Finally, check out the Science Museum of Minnesota, which offers fascinating exhibits like Ultimate Dinosaurs, an exploration of the supercontinent Pangaea, and a variety of ancient fossils. It's a fun and educational exhibit that's truly for all ages.

A wonder for all ages, SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium is home to more than 10,000 sea creatures in 1.3 million gallons (4,921 cbm) of water. Explore 30 displays including interactive touch pools, walk through a 300-foot (91-m) tunnel, and see a blacktip reef shark swimming with graceful rays.

Walk through the Ocean Tunnel without getting wet and take time to marvel at the spectacular sea creatures swimming overhead. With 4 unique tanks—Rainbow Reef, Atlantic, Amazon River, and Sturgeon Lake—immerse yourself in the aquatic adventure. You may spot green sea turtles, sawfish, paddlefish, arapaima, or the bright white teeth of the 9-foot (2.7-m) sand tiger sharks.

In the interactive Claws exhibit, spot Japanese spider crabs that can reach 12-feet (3.6-m) across. See how a crab’s claw works from all angles, even underneath, and get an up-close look at how they eat. Then play a game of hide-and-seek with a giant Pacific octopus, a master of disguise, playfully swimming around while a clownfish takes cover in a sea anemone—its home base.

Before you wrap up your day at the aquarium, stop by one of the presentations and feedings that marine experts host daily or opt for a hands-on adventure and feel a starfish, sea urchin, shark pup, or horseshoe crab interactive touch pool.
