Favorite thing: I hate shopping, especially in busy malls during the weekend, but Mall of America was a totally different experience.
The mall is huge, but it is not intended only for shopping lovers. Inside the building there is big entertainment complex, for kids and for adults, unique restaurants, movie theater and so on.

Favorite thing: You absolutely must visit the Mall of America. I must admit it has every store that probably you all have seen but, the mall is so big it's just something you gotta see. The nice thing about it is that all the stores are in one place.
Fondest memory: Fondest memories have to be going up North every year during the Fall season. It's breath taking seeing all the tree's changing their colors while bouncing off the lakes creating a great picture. This picture is of Split Rock on Superior Lake. You can take a tour of how the people lived and took care of the light house.

Listed below are answers to some of the world's most sought after questions. Read on - it's sure to amaze you. Did you know?
If a shopper spent 10 minutes browsing at every store it would take them more than 86 hours to complete their visit to Mall of America.
