The aquarium will take up a 16,000-square-foot space on the first floor of the mall, near Dillard’s, that had been occupied by Hollister Co., Gameware and Nawlins Sports, said Gene Satern, senior general manager for the shopping center. Blue Zoo will open in April or May, he said.
quote:

The aquarium is set up for children and adults to touch and feed areas including stingrays, birds and lizards and see aquatic creatures such as sharks, clownfish, seahorses, jellyfish, octopus and starfish.

Blue Zoo currently operates similar sized aquariums at shopping malls in Oklahoma City and Spokane, Washington. The Spokane location opened in August 2019, while the Oklahoma City aquarium opened in July. Like the Mall of Louisiana, those retail outlets are owned by Brookfield Properties.
This is probably going to he a shitshow. I expect a lot of coins and dead fish.

No. In fact, it will end up free, eventually, for certain demographics. Even the Knock Knock museum is free for certain people at certain times.

Mall has gone to shite for years and years


And it will continue to do so, even when something seemingly cool like this comes along, but fails because a certain demographics ruins it for everyone.

Malls are obsolete, I don’t care what you put in them.

I’ve been staying at the Renaissance in Baton Rouge and there has been a truck wrapped in Blue Zoo ads all week.

My daughter likes that place but I told her it's too expensive unless she wants to spend her own money on it.


You're too old to be shopping there Rize. It's PFG and Levi's time bud.
