Mall of America

Cons: Sometimes very crowded. Parking can get crazy. Prices.

The Mall of America is the largest enclosed shopping mall in the United States and has become a huge tourist attraction in Minneapolis/St Paul, MN. Although I don’t particularly like to shop I do like the Mall of America. Is that a contradiction? ...

Pros: Yes it is actually the biggest Mall in the country
Cons: It's way to expensive for 87% of the US population

I turned 30 last year. Even though it was a monumental birthday, or at least some believe it to be, it didn’t create in me a feeling of “being old” in my mind. It did however, cause me to reflect and realize I like myself much more than I did at age...

Pros: There a 500 plus stores

Several weeks ago we were in Minneapolis visiting our daughter, and she wanted to take us to Mall of America. Since we had nothing better to do, and it was close by, we decided to give it a shot. You must know first hand that my husband hates malls, and...

Pros: better than getting branded with a hot poker
Cons: sad state of affairs when a city's top spot is a shopping center

Pros: Just about something for everyone
Cons: Overpriced tourist trap

Having lived in Minnesota for about 2 years, I
naturally made the trip (3 times) to the Mall of
America. Being from New York originally, I’m used
to architecture on a ’’grand scale’’ but somehow,
I wasn’t prepared for this ! ...

Pros: Not terribly crowded on a summer Sunday. No sales tax on clothing.
Cons: Ordinary shopping experience. Mediocre extra attractions are wildly overpriced. Very overrated.

Pros: Fun for all ages
Cons: Acres to cover

Another experience come and gone. I have been to the Mall of America, another wonder

Pros: Vans, Dry Ice, The Body Shop, Origins - stores that are at least semi-cool
Cons: you will leave insane

According to the ingenious website http://www.mallofamerica.com, the Mall of America receives more tourists than the Grand Canyon. This fact makes me want to run away screaming, "Why?! Why do I live in this country?!" The country I am referring to is, ...

Pros: Clean, friendly people, something for everyone.
Cons: Too big to cover in one day.

Even though I am not a "mall person", we decided to make the Mall of America the last stop on our vacation out West.

Pros: Well, it's a big mall.

Review Topic:  Sights & Attractions

Two years ago and a week after Thanksgiving, I had the opportunity of visiting the largest shopping place in the USA, the Mall of America. I used to read and hear about it. When I...

Pros: It's bigger then any place you've ever been to.
Cons: It's bigger then any place has a right to be.

I'm a quiet, private man. I hate crowds. I hate people in general - not you, gentle reader, you I love.

Which is why I only go to the Mall of America once, twice a year tops. It is about as enjoyable as a tooth...

Pros: Good shops, Easy to get around
Cons: Most activities are geared toward children/families

For those who do not follow my reviews, I write everything I write from the perspective of an adult. Usually single, I look at the world through the lens of an adult who likes doing adult things, seeing the world in an adult way, with no inclination ...
