Inside the Mall of America rotundra, the knives will be sharp, the ingredients strange, and the chefs ready for an all-out throwdown. The annual Chef Challenge competition from Minnesota Monthly magaz... More »
Are you too old for the Real World? Does the nature-aspect of Survivor terrify you? Are you a natural shut-in articulate in mind games? You may want to stop on over at the Mall of America this Saturd... More »
Brace yourselves shoppers, the Brit boy band sensation One Direction is coming to the Mall of America... well, at least their merchandise is. This spring, the band that won the hearts of tweens around... More »
"And the Oscar goes to..." Those five little words mean that someone in Hollywood is about to win big... and so can you. Are you a hardcore cinephile who lives for awards season? Do you know the n... More »
When a building is being constructed, ice is not a material that is typically employed. During the winter months, however, it works wonderfully well. This season, the Mall of America is hosting an impressive structure built from over one million... More »
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...

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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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 »
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.
It is what heaven must be like. Anything you can imagine to can get at the Mall of America. Be prepare to stay all day.
