Mall of America Children's Discovery and Science Center

This is a mall museum attraction that should be added as an additional space next to the Mall of America, complete with a walkway attached from the mall to the museum on the second floor. The project's details are as follows.

First Floor
For this floor, there should be an entryway complete with a gift shop, a cafe, a ball machine sculpture, an interactive play area, a media center, and live animal exhibits including a native Minnesota aquarium, an insect zoo (complete with a glassed-in beehive and a large leaf-cutter ant farm) and a reptile and amphibian herpetarium, as well as a live skunk exhibit and a live beaver exhibit. Included are plans for an elevator, some escalators, and a stairway to go up to the second and top floor and then down.

Second Floor
For the second floor, there should be a changing exhibit hall used for traveling exhibitions, such as those made by Peeling Productions, a Grossology exhibit, an exhibit called "Savage Ancient Seas" featuring 14 complete prehistoric marine life specimens, an exhibit called "Sea Monsters Revealed: Aquatic Bodies" featuring models of more than 18 full-body sea creatures and more than 150 individual organs and smaller specimens, an "Extreme Mammals" exhibit, and a robotic insect exhibit "Backyard Monsters". Also adjecent to the exhibit hall is an IMAX movie theater, an Ancient Egypt exhibit, a gem exhibit, a color and light dancing room, a tornado machine, a virtual volleyball game, a Frozen Shadows room, a hurricane simulator, and a fossil exhibit.

Third Floor
The third floor should include a very large permanent exhibit called "Prehistoric Animals: Monsters of the Ice Age and the Deep", which includes 22 animatronic creatures (made by the now-defunct company Dinamation) including a woolly mammoth and its baby, a saber-toothed cat Smilodon on its mammoth prey, a giant sloth Eremotherium and its baby, a glyptodont Doedicurus, a rhinoceros-like six horned Eobasileus, a woolly rhinoceros Coelodonta, a giant warthog-like Megachoerus, the elephant-like Platybelodon, a huge predatory bird Diatryma, a giant predatory whale ancestor Andrewsarchus, an armored fish Dunkleosteus, a mosasaur Tylosaurus, a giant short-necked plesiosaur Kronosaurus, a sea scorpion Pterygotus, a giant long-necked plesiosaur Thalassomedon, a semi-aquatic reptile Placodus, an early whale Basilosaurus, and a giant squid battling gulper eels. Also there should be a hanging life-size Pteranodon and a hands-on robotic Dimetrodon, as well as several hands-on activities. Within the exhibit should include live animal exhibits which includes those for nine-banded armadillos, anacondas, matamata turtles, a Chinese giant salamander, Seba's short-tailed bats, a giant Pacific octopus, Japanese spider crabs, giant isopods, chambered nautiluses, Caribbean spiny lobsters, American lobsters, giant hermit crabs, sunflower sea stars, green sea anemone, wolf eels, and a goliath grouper.
