We have chosen the Underwater World Exhibit at the Mall of America for our
location. Malls are very popular in our area, and there are Minnesota fish in
the exhibit.
We went to Underwater World at the Mall of America. We walked along man-made
trails and stood on moving sidewalks listening to a taperecorded tour that
told us about the fish, and traveled beside rivers and under lakes and oceans.
