    New rainforest exhibit to open at Sea Life Minnesota this spring, replacing the former Minnesota Woods exhibit.

    This exhibit is now replaced by an exhibit on shark conservation, with no actual animals. I think the conservation message is good, but why no live animals?

    That is disappointing...that exhibit would have been worth a swing by there next time I was in MN.

    There has been some question as to whether Duke and Duchess, the green sawfish, are still at SEA LIFE Minnesota, and they are. I was surprised to learn that they have been at the aquarium since it first opened in 1996.
