Minnesota State Moorhead Oceanarium
NOTE: With the exception of Halloween, the Oceanarium will NOT be holding open hours until Early November 2026 in order to properly train our students and make updates for your facility. However, you can still schedule tours!
The Minnesota State Moorhead Oceanarium is an interactive, investigative marine laboratory open to the Moorhead community, college students, and researchers. The facility features more than 50 species of sea life and is a significant asset to those looking to learn more about biology. From handling horseshoe crabs to getting up close and personal with stingrays, the Oceanarium offers an unmatched educational experience.
