Before I had visited Minneapolis, I had heard that the Mall of America was the largest mall in the US. I didn't really have a concept of just how big that would be though. The structure is huge! The layout is simple though. Four squares piled on top of each other and an amusement park in the middle. I didn't... more

If you're here- you might as well go! The parking is free and ample, there are many many many food choices from very cheap (yet decent) to very expensive (fine dining), there's an amusement park for the kids (Nikelodean themed with Dora and Spongebob- the roller coaster is a hit with the <13 crowd), Lego land is pretty neat for... more

We were passing through Minneapolis so decided to see the Mall of America. We are not generally mall shoppers - though I do like to shop. I didn't like the mall's website and I didn't like how there were no maps of the mall & stores inside the mall. There are stands listing the store names and locations but it... more

We live about two hours from the MOA, so go up once or twice a year just for fun. Like others have commented on, most of the stores here are chain stores that you can visit pretty much anywhere. So, if it's a completely unique shopping experience you're looking for, you won't find that here. The Nickoledeon theme park in... more

We have been to the mall a few times as we live in the UK. We normally visit in January but this time decided to go just before Christmas to see what it was like, I thought that there would be more decorations than there were and they seemed a bit sparse but perhaps I am used to the UK... more

If you want a mall that also has an amusement park in it, fine. But as a shopping venue that tries to bill itself as truly unique, I don't think it lives up to its reputation. Most of the stores are typical mall chain stores and if you look away from the amusement park, it could be anywhere in the... more

My daughter and I shared our birthday trip to MOA. We enjoy shopping and while most of the stores are in every mall in america we did find some unusual ones and spent our money in those. We also enjoyed the amusement rides and two restaurants - the Cantina - not bad Mexican food, the drinks were very good. Also... more

It is indeed the largest shopping mall you're likely to find, but several stores have multiple locations. The amusement park in the center is certainly different including several coaster-type rides. If you really want to see everything here I recommend going on a school day when the crowds will be much less. more

We just got back from a 2 day trip to MOA. Me, my wife, and 11 year old daughter visited. There are tons of shops, but most of them are what you would see at any other US mall (same retail chains). There are a few specialty store exceptions. If you have kids there is lots to do. My daughter... more
