2012 | Best Mall

If it seems like the obvious choice, it's only because it's clearly the best mall. It doesn't really matter what you're in the market for, if you need instant gratification and can't wait for next-day shipping, you're probably on your way to MOA already. In fact, now that the mall is nearing its 20th birthday (would we even bother to figure the age of any other shopping center), it's been around long enough that you have your game plan already figured out: Park in the Arizona lot, distract...

2009 | BEST MALL

Yes, it's loud--very, very loud, and often uncomfortably crowded. But seriously, where else in the state, or even the country, are you going to find a single building in which you can buy a Tiffany lamp, a set of goalie pads, and a new bed; go on a roller coaster; and learn about hundreds of kinds of aquatic life The only answer is the Mall of America. It can be an intimidating place--hell, parking alone can take 45 minutes--but in sheer availability of goods, dining, and... More »
2008 | BEST PLUS-SIZE SHOPPING

Whether you celebrate or camouflage your curves, if you're above a size 16 you know the importance of great, well-fitting clothes. While it's still often hard to find them, shoppers know that through a combination of persistence, personal style, and patience, good, non-matronly clothes can be found locally for reasonable prices. Downtown Minneapolis has a good mix of designer outlets and department stores, and Maple Grove's b&lu (www.bandlu.com) website has a national reputation for its... More »
2006 | BEST PLACE TO GET DUMPED

Being at the Mall of America is tantamount to suffering a few hours of agony anyway, right What's a little heartache to go with it It might even make being at the mall more fun. Let's look at some key considerations in breakup-siting: Is there enough privacy to salvage your pride Well, no, but there's loads of anonymity, which should be a suitable substitute. Would your memories of the place be tainted Quite possibly. But do you really want to go back there again Probably not. If you... More »
2003 | BEST PLACE TO GET DUMPED

When your mother told you there were plenty of fish in the sea, did she know you'd be standing just a few feet above Underwater World Laugh if you want to, but Mama wasn't joking. She also told you that you'd better shop around. So what better place to split with your sweetie than at the temple of consumer culture as we know it Retail therapy in the form of new shoes, gadgetry, or your favorite consoling flick can immediately improve your outlook. Swings, water rides, and Legos work... More »
2001 | BEST FOOD COURT

Life is a carnival. With that realization, it dawns on us that we no longer have any excuse for avoiding the Mall of America. Good thing we don't have to do so on an empty stomach. Though the mall is home to far too many eating options, our favorite is the original food court, where one can assemble mix-and-mismatch combo platters no one in their right mind would serve, much less eat. Like, say, cheese curds from Minnesota Picnic, vegetarian egg rolls from Hibachi-San, a fish taco from the... More »
2001 | BEST MALL

We looked for a better mall, we really did. We looked for an excuse to give the award to anyone but the Sprawl of America, the much-maligned Bloomington behemoth. We'd rather write about some little strip mall with a good thrift store, but if we're calling the category Best Mall, we must be honest. This is it. Today's teenagers have it made, what with Camp Snoopy, arcade games, two food courts, easy bus access, and now even a bowling alley. And as for the actual shopping, yes, it lacks a... More »
2001 | BEST PLACE TO DUMP SOMEONE

Ending a relationship requires a delicate touch, and one ought to give ample consideration to setting the appropriate stage. In our minds, there's no better place to call it quits with your significant other than smack-dab in the middle of the Mall of America. Confusion is your ally! Hundreds upon hundreds of giddy children towing overwhelmed chaperones supply sufficient background noise--think of them as the orchestra pit for your tragic opera. Besides, once you get it over with, you and... More »
2000 | BEST PLACE TO PEOPLE-WATCH

For the professional and the serious dilettante, there's no place like the Mall of America to refine the art and science of people-watching. The sheer diversity and quantity of subjects can't be beat; add the variety of potential approaches and locations (Preteen social initiation at Camp Snoopy Weekend-warrior training in East Market The mating dance around Michelob Gulch), and you have the makings of a whole American Studies Department's worth of dissertations. Only one question... More »

World's Largest Gathering of Ninja Turtles

By Jessica Armbruster | Wed, March 14, 2012

This Saturday, Nickelodeon Universe will attempt to shatter a very important record when it invites Ninja Turtles to descend on the Mall of America en masse. In case you were wondering, there actually is a previous record to break; in 2008 a littl... More »

biggest and best mall i have ever been to. it reminds me of the Louvre in Paris: you either have to run to make it through the whole thing in a day, or spend an entire week to see it all in detail. avoid during the holidays, as i was pretty close to checking myself into an insane asylum after i left, but as long as you prepare yourself, you should be ok. if you're looking for something besides shopping to get you out of the cold Minnesota weather, there is an amusement park in the middle with rides to enthuse even adults!

Usually far too overcrowded, but you can do a variety of shopping in one stop! Plus unique shops not found elsewhere.
