I'm watching Dinner Impossible on the food network. It's funny because he's at the Mall of America trying to find cooking utensils and food. He can't use any type of grills or fryers because he has to cook inside the mall.
Forgot to mention that Bernice would be sad to know she missed this show. That is her old stomping grounds!!!
oooooooooo that would be fun to watch. Yep, my fave mall. Haven't found one that I like here too much yet.
We did like exploring the Galleria at Tyler (reminds us of Rosedale, middle to high income suburbia) , the mall here in MV reminded us of Southdale (first enclosed mall in the US!). The Block at Orange is kinda fun, very odd to us. And we tried the Ontario Mills outlet mall, it didn't feel like an outlet mall (outlets are strip malls in MN) but I like the Sears outlet store there-- cheap!!
I've never been to the Mall of America. That would be awesome
I heard they have roller coasters inside
Yep! One goes thru the entire park. They also have a tiny circle one for kiddos, my boys first rollercoaster! And the Timberland Twister which is like a mad mouse ride but the ride vehicle spins like a tea cup. They have Mystery Mine Ride.. similar to Star Tours, they change the movie a few times a year. When it was run by Camp Snoopy they had fireworks
inside for New Year's Eve.. fun to watch.
Yeah, well it's the largest mall in the world. There is one in China that was the biggest for awhile and then West Edmonton expanded and now they're the biggest again. I used to work in the mall and it's doesn't seem that big when you're in it everyday but after I hadn't worked there for a few years and I went back that mall is HUGE! It's a little silly actually. But it has everything. It even has a huge skating rink in the middle of it lol.
And I would love to go there!
I know during the development stage they considered buidiling a water park/beach at Mall of America. But they were afraid people would use that and not go to stores.
I watched last night and got a real kick out of it. Only problem is, i fell asleep towards the end of the show. How did everything turn out? Was there enough food for everyone?
That mall is unbelievable. I told my husband we should take a 2 day trip with the kids just to stay there and see the mall.
Lots of fun stuff to see in Twin Cities!! Tons of Museums, theater district (they try out the Disney shows in MN before touring), river boat rides, parks. And if the weather is cruddy, never fear, you can walk most of downtown over the streets in the skyway system.
From the airport you can take the metro train to Mall of America, downtown, Midtown. Easy to use, clean, safe.
If you want to see more than just the Mall or downtown you would need a car. Someday they will make the train go out further-- they hope to build a line to parallel the 35W bridge that collapsed.
Speaking of the bridge, they still have not approved funding for it yet, my sis said it's hard to navigate from NE metro to the airport. Longer route or using crowded surface streets.
