About Sea Life Arizona

Sea Life Arizona is an indoor aquarium in the Arizona Mills shopping center in Tempe. Its roughly 26,000-square-foot space holds thousands of aquatic animals across themed exhibits. Visitors can walk through a 360-degree ocean tunnel, touch sea stars in a touchpool, and meet rescued sea turtles. The aquarium is run by Merlin Entertainments, which operates several other SEA LIFE aquariums in the United States. Seasonal events and behind-the-scenes tours are offered at times.
