TEMPE, AZ - A clairvoyant octopus has predicted the winner of next week’s All-Star Game.

According to Sea Life spokesperson Katie Malark, the giant Pacific octopus named Loki picked the American League over the National League.

The prediction came as the kick off to Sea Life’s All-Star Weekend. Who do you think will win the game?

Other weekend events include a fish fest scavenger hunt, signatures from Sharky, the Sea Life mascot, and an election for visitors to choose Sea Life’s All-Starts, Malark said.

Malark said guests can purchase a Sea Life ticket package online, at $50 for a four-pack that comes with a Sea Life baseball.

The event will run until July 12, during Sea Life’s regular hours of 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday. The last guests are admitted an hour before closing time.

Sea Life is located at Arizona Mills Mall, near the intersection of Interstate 10 and U.S. Highway 60.
