Mall of America
If you plan to visit Minnesota, chances are you’ve heard of Mall of America. Recognized as the largest shopping and entertainment complex in the United States and one of the most visited tourist attractions on the globe, the Mall of America receives roughly 40 million visitors a year. The mall is located just 15 minutes from Downtown Minneapolis. With more than 500 stores and 5.6 million square feet of gross building area, this is the place to shop till you drop.
If you're not in the mood to shop, the Mall of America is also home to several family-friendly attractions, including the Nickelodeon Universe amusement park – complete with more than 25 different rides and attractions – and the SEA LIFE Minnesota Aquarium. Also make time for FlyOver America, a flight simulation ride. With so much to do, it's easy to make a trip to the mall a day-long activity. On the downside, the perpetual crowds and the sheer size of the space can be exhausting, according to past visitors. Others described the mall as clean and safe, and a great place to entertain the whole family.
