The Mall of America takes shopping and entertainment to a whole new level or two or three actually four. This is a all that truly never ends and they plan to make it even bigger. This could be a vacation that lasts a week or two in a mall. That’s it the mall vacation of a life time. Millions of people visit the mall each year wondering around the 520 stores and walkways. This mall is set up in different sections that have different styles of design. There are four main department stores which are Bloomingdale’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom and Sears. Some of the other big named stores in the mall include Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Marshall’s and Old Navy. Many of the other stores are smaller specialty or boutique shops. But the mall is not just shopping it is also a theme park complete with roller coasters and other fun rides as well as games and other activities. They call it the Nickelodeon Universe and it has a fun sort of out door design with trees and plants and the open skylight as the ceiling. They have just added two new roller coasters called the SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge and the Avatar Airbender. They also have a golfing area called Moose Mountain with 18 holes. There is also the Underwater Adventures Aquarium where guests travel through a tunnel that is 300 feet long in 14 feet of water giving a spectacular view of more than 4,000 sea creatures. They will see stingrays, turtles, lots of fish and even sharks. It is possible to set up a scuba diving, snorkeling, birthday parties and even sleepovers. If it were me, I would rather find a quiet hotel away from the action to make sure I got some real rest because there would be the next day’s worth of experience to take on in this never ending mall of activity called the Mall of America. Keep your eye out for the memorials like the home plate marker that sits right on the spot were the old home plate of the Metropolitan Stadium was and the seat where Harmon Killebrew hit his home run ball to.
