Mall of America®

As one of the few available winter day activities in this city, the mall has a lot to offer! I usually like to spend at 6 half a day here as there is so much to see and do! Nickelodeon Universe in the heart of the mall is also a fun place to spend some time at. Most rides are for kids, but there a few thrilling rides that adults can also enjoy

The Mall of America is an extraordinary shopping, dining, and entertainment destination that truly has something for everyone. As one of the largest malls in the world, it offers an incredible variety of stores ranging from high-end brands to unique boutiques. Whether you’re shopping for fashion, electronics, or specialty items, you’re bound to find what you need. Beyond shopping, the mall boasts an impressive array of attractions. Nickelodeon Universe, the indoor theme park, is a must-visit for families, featuring rides and activities for all ages. Sea Life Aquarium is another highlight, offering an up-close look at fascinating marine creatures. For movie lovers, there’s a state-of-the-art theater, and for adventurous spirits, the escape rooms and mini-golf are great fun. The dining options are equally diverse, with everything from quick bites at the food court to sit-down restaurants offering international cuisine. The mall is impeccably clean and well-maintained, with helpful staff always ready to assist. Despite its size, it’s surprisingly easy to navigate thanks to clear signage and maps. Whether you’re visiting for a day or a weekend, the Mall of America is a destination that offers unforgettable experiences for all ages. It’s a must-visit if you’re in Minnesota!

This mall is your standard mall. The only thing separating it from others is the size of it. It literally has every “corporate”store and restaurant you can find in any other mall but it’s all in one. Some stores are in there more than once. I think the highlight of it was the amount of restaurants there were. 1 floor out of the 4 floors was all food and restaurants. We went on the Saturday after Christmas 2024 and it was packed. I haven’t been here in like 10 years prior so I am not sure if it is always that busy or if it’s because we chose the Saturday after Christmas, but we could not move in there and every store was full, lines were out the door for checkouts and restaurants. If you’re ever in the area I highly recommend making the trip. But I would t recommend planning a trip specifically for the mall because like I said, it’s got all the store your average mall has, but bigger and easier to get lost.
