Shopping SpreeLike Harrods is to London, the Mall of America is to Americans. Well, almost. The Mall of America has shopping, all right, but more so, it has a great amount of entertainment therein for some tremendous amounts of fun.

Some interesting facts:

  • The Mall of America is also known as the Megamall or MOA.
  • Despite its location in America (in Minnesota, no less), it is known as the most visited mall in the world, attracting over 40 million visitors annually.
  • Sneakers are important! The mall is 4.2 million square feet large!
  • There are 520 retail stores in the mall.
  • Do you like aquatic life? The Underwater Adventures Aquarium is on the premises! Featuring turtles, sharks, fish, and a simulated scuba diving adventure, this is a great place to take the kids.
  • More kid fun is located at the Lego imagination center, a four-story high “museum” of legos with 90 all-LEGO structures.Legos
  • Getting married? The Chapel of Love is also on-site, and after you exchange vows, you can go on a shopping spree!
  • There’s also an indoor amusement park — the largest in America — for folks of all ages. The Park at MOA has roller coasters, a ferris wheel, wall-climbing, a petting zoo, and other attractions.
  • To relax after you’ve shopped, there’s a day spa on site. Or, you can get a massage while your wife gets a new pair of shoes. :)
  • New for 2007: IKEA is under construction and should be opening in the next few weeks!
  • Racecar enthusiasts would love the NASCAR speedway. Try out the racing simulations.
  • Rather be in the sky? The A.C.E.S. Flight Simulator is nearby. Practice your piloting skills instead.

The Mall of America really has a ton of great things to do. No wonder it attracts so many visitors! Book an $89 trip to the Mall of America at Bloomington, MN today and get unlimited 24-hour shuttle access to the MOA, because you’ll definitely see yourself needing to go again to cover all that ground!
