Mall of America
Layover day. We drove back to Bloomington to check out the Mall of America. Supposedly the largest mall in the country.
Pretty impressive. Picture the floor space of the Roseville Galleria. Double it. Add some more. Now add three more floors. Two six or seven story parking garages each the size of half the Galleria floor space. Mall is laid out in rough rectangle anchored on three corners by huge department stores – Macys, Sears, and Nordstrom. Each three stories high and massive floor plans. Forth corner has three story aquarium. Forth floor is theaters and upscale restaurants. Other floors have stores and stores and stores and …. Some stores are repeated several times on different floors. Large Apple store. Large Microsoft store. Many typical mall stores. Full sized Best Buy and a Best Buy Mobil. Even a Dollar Store.
Want to get married? You can do that in the mall.
How about a barbeque that looks like a pig? It’s in the mall.
The middle of the rectangle is a three story amusement park. Several roller coasters, carnival type rides, mini golf, bumper cars, small train, carousel, modified ropes course, log flume ride, and more.
There is also a Lego store where you can buy Legos by the piece. Never seen that before.
Today we walked between seven and eight miles – most of it at the mall.
