For more than 30 years the Mall of America (MOA) has long been a tourist attraction in Minnesota. Offering all the standard shops, restaurants, and services that you expect from a mall, but more. The Mall of America takes fun, excitement, and shopping to the next level. Just as it has since everyday since opening day over 30 years ago.
Today we at Minnestay thought we would take you on a tour of this marvelous place, taking you through its stores, restaurants, and everything that makes it special and when your feet feel like they can’t take another step, your arms and shoulders are aching from the bags of goodies you have purchased, and your brain begs for quiet, coming home to our Minnesota hideaways will bring you peace, respite, and relaxation!
Where is the Mall of America?
The Mall of America is located at 60 E Broadway in Bloomington, Minnesota just 15 minutes away from Minneapolis. The mall offers four levels of shops, restaurants, services, play options, and entertainment venues. Today, the Mall of America offers more than your ordinary shopping experience. Which is perhaps one of the reasons it has outlasted so many other malls.
There are 520 shops in the mall, ensuring that whatever you need, you will find it there, including stores you might expect such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Yankee Candle, but its high-end stores such as Armani Exchange, Gucci Accessories, and Christian Louboutin that will make you want to move in and make it in your own private residence.
The Mall of America is Great Year-Round
What makes the Mall of America so fun year-round? It is completely accessible from the elements. Rain, Sun, Snow, and everything in-between, the Mall of America was built to be accessible year-round. From the time you enter the parking lot, your party will be weather protected. Inside, the Mall has so many fun activities for everyone in your party to enjoy.
