Sea Life Aquarium Coming Up In Tempe
Merlin Entertainments Group, the UK-based owner of Legoland amusement parks and Madame Tussauds, has already begun construction at Arizona Mills Mall where it will build the nation’s second Sea Life Aquarium. There are 30 Sea Life aquariums worldwide.
The $15 million aquarium will occupy a nearly 26,000-square-foot space formerly leased by Hi-Health and host more than 30 display tanks for more than 5,000 creatures ranging from sharks and rays to sea turtles and starfish.
In addition to out-of-state sea creatures, Tempe’s Sea Life Aquarium will feature animal displays unique to Arizona’s water ecosystems. [Via]
