    Taking a trip to Mall of America with the family on Good Friday, curious if anyone knows of a good reef related stop in the area?

    New Wave Aquaria (or it might be New wave Aquarium) in Plymouth is a pretty good spot. Think it’s right off 494, so that would be about 30-40 min west of MoA.

    We went to BRS. It was neat. They show you where they film all the videos. We got to meet Ryan. They show you all of the tanks. It was a neat experience. I think it was about 15-20 min from MoA.

    Sorry I think I might have misspoken on the distance, might be closer to 20 min away. Used to live up that way, but haven’t made a trek to MOA in a while.

    It would also be fairly close to BRS that @Tank@Tank mentioned, as Golden Valley is adjacent to Plymouth.

    @Tank@Tank can you purchase supplies at BRS’s store? Was curious about that for next time I head North.

    There wasn't really a store per say, but there were a few people there picking things up that they ordered.

    Thanks, that’s what I assumed it was.

    I had emailed BRS, hopefully we can make it work, but they are only there 10-4 on Good Friday. At least we're doing the aquarium at MoA!
