For $16.50 per person, I was hoping for a little more. I can see how kids would like it, but I'm not sure it would be worth over $50 to bring my family there. Otters weren't out, and that was the part I was most interested to see.

$15.50 per person to see wood ducks, turtles, and fish you can see anyplace in minnesota. I mean, it's nice but it seems that is a little bit pricey for what is there.
it wasn't that great, it needs updating and love and care in it. You would thing spending 14 or whatever a person, you'd stay there for more than an hour. my only favorite thing about it is the otters, and they weren't out the last time i was there.

It was very interesting and informative. To see the fish from the fresh lakes and to learn facts about them was fun. When you live in Minnesota you don't realize what you have outside your own back door. Fun for families and couples.

if you are looking for tropical fish, this isn't for you however if you want to see local creatures in a great habitat, this is it!
We live about 3 hours from Duluth but it is a favorite place to get a way. We bought a family membership and it has more than payed for itself. My son is always wanting to go he loves all the hands on things to do. He loves the fact that we are not always telling him you can look...

Lots of exhibits - many are hands on and designed to keep kids attention and inform them. I love the water-filled replica of the Great Lakes with locks that the kids can work to move their boats through the great lakes. I also like the otters and the wave machine.
I don't like the cost. I think the city should...

I took my niece and we had a great time. At first it seemed small and I thought it would take no time to review the exhibits and we would be done. It took us several hours and my niece fed the fish and we watched trained divers go into a tank to remove a sick fish and demonstrate some...
