Editorial Review for Mall of America – by Whitney Friedlander
In Short
This cement-and-plastic Bloomington behemoth is the largest shopping and entertainment complex in the United States. At 4.2-million square feet, it's home to more than 500 stores, 60 eateries, a 14-screen movie theater, an indoor amusement park and an aquarium. The mall is anchored by Bloomingdale's, Macy's, Nordstrom and Sears, but also includes local finds and a wedding chapel. Notable restaurants include the Rainforest Cafe and Tucci Bennuch, as well as plenty of fast food.

I flew into Bloomington, MN from Santa Cruz, CA to the "Great Mall" for a yarn knitters and crochet convention. It had a really big turn out of 50,000

It is a huge facility. If you have kids and one spouse wants to shop...then this is your place. Otherwise, you seen on big mall you've seen them all in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, there were shops there that we don't have but still. The amusement park is scaled down and great for kids. I DO NOT recommend the aquarium. It was a HUGE dissapointment. The only nice thing was the underwater tube you walk thru but that was it!! Definitely not worth the $13/person!!! Save your money for a full scale aquarium instead on your next vacation!
Pros: No sales tax on clothing! Huge mall! Great place for kids!
Cons: Aquarium HUGE dissapointment!!!
