Sea Life Great Lakes Crossing Review

There’s an educational experience with each of the exhibits with reading displays as well as touch screens with information on each of the species. The floors are wooden plank style to give visitors the feel that they’re walking along a dock.

I was invited to visit a sneak preview of the SEA LIFE Aquarium in Auburn Hills before it opened to the public on Thursday, January 29, 2015 at 12 noon.

Sea Life boasts a total of more than 5,000 creatures in 150,000 gallons of water including sharks, stingrays, jellyfish and sea horses. Visitors can walk through the Sea Life Aquarium and view all the different sea creatures in their colorful exhibits. Some of the exhibits are interactive such as a touch pool where visitors can gently touch starfish and pick up hermit crabs. The Sea Life Aquarium at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets also has viewing tunnels and attractive displays to entertain the kids.

There is also a children’s play area and gift shop at the end of the tour.

Once you’ve purchased your ticket, you can visit the Sea Life Aquarium at Great Lakes Crossing Outlets all day, coming and going as you need to. At the end of the tour, there is even a door that takes you back to the start so you can walk through it again.

There are 7 Sea Life locations in the country, but Sea Life Great Lakes Crossing is the first Sea Life Aquarium in Michigan.

ABOUT SEA LIFE MICHIGAN
SEA LIFE is Michigan’s largest aquarium with over 250 species and 2,000 creatures including sharks, stingrays, green sea turtles and more! At SEA LIFE, you’ll journey through the freshwater lakes of Michigan all the way to the depths of the ocean and meet the amazing creatures that live there. Then, visit the Interactive Touchpool and learn what it feels like to pet a crab, urchin, sea star and other rockpool creatures! Finish your adventure by strolling through the Underwater Ocean Tunnel and watch as thousands of tropical fish swim overhead. To get any closer, you’d have to get wet!
