What's In The Mall?

I decided to write a review of the Mall Of America because I think it's a great mall. It brings tourists to Minnesota and we need those. You can find everything there from major department stores, to little specialty shops that only sell one kind of thing, or a lot of different things wrapped around the same theme. There's also a Nick Jr.-themed amusement park in the middle of it. They've just added this great rope course to the amusement park. You should see this thing, it's awesome! The next time I'm there, and have the money, I'm going to try that thing out. It doesn't take that long to get there if you use the light rail, and it's a great place to just hang out.

The 4 main stores are Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Sears, and Nordstroms. All but one of them is pretty high buck. There's also Abercrombie and Fitch, Aeropostale, The Gap, Banana Republic, and a whole host of other well known stores.

On the 4th floor of the mall, there is a 14 screen theatre, a Hooters, and a Mexican Bar that was just added. I can't think of the name right now. There's also a comedy club there now. There's a Crave restaurant, and a Noodles & Company now. A Harley Davidson Merchandise store has just been added too. This is just a hint of what you can find there. New things go in there all the time. It's a "must see" place if you're ever in Minnesota.

My Review of The Mall Of America 

Ever since this mall was built over 10 years ago, people from around the world have come to visit it. My best friend and I have started a tradition of going shopping there once every year. It used to be around Christmas time, but now it's whenever I have a few extra bucks. We always wander around the whole mall to see what's changed, and what new places we can visit. I can't pick a favorite store because there are just too many of them, but we always hit the food court. There's such a variety of food places there that you can have just about anything you want to eat.

Where's It Located? 

The Mall of America is in Bloomington, MN. You can take a light rail train from downtown Minneapolis, or take a bus from anywhere in the general Twin Cities area. You can also drive if you're like my husband, and don't want to be seen on public transportation.

Getting There 

I don't live in Bloomington, so I can't really speak for that part of the state. I do like the quick 30 minute light rail ride. If you're driving to the mall it generally takes about 45 minutes, so the train saves you some time. If you grab the light rail train from the airport (either terminal), you're there in less than 5 minutes. That's great if you're just a tourist and only have a limited amount of time to spend there.

What's In The Blogs? 

I've chosen this because everyone who has ever visited the mall probably wrote a blog about it. Whether they had a good experience or a bad experience, it will still give you an idea what it's like to visit the 2nd largest Mall in North America.
