A sixteen year old girls dream located in Minneapolis Minnesota, I am of course talking about the 2.5 million square feet of shops and an even more impressive 4.5 million square feet of actual building area that is the Mall of America. With more than 520 shops to choose from every one is sure to find something they like here. The Mall of America hosts over 30 fast food joints, 20 sit down restaurants, and 36 specialty food stores. It also has 36 movie screens, an indoor theme park, Lego land, and an under ground aquarium where you can actually touch a live shark! But I am getting ahead of my self lets talk more in-depth about what the mall offers its visitors.

First of course is the amount of stores The Mall of America has to offer its guests. There are over 520 shops that are always changing and growing to fit the needs of the tourists and locals who come shop here every day. The Mall of America has 2.5 million square feet of leasable space and is working on a second phase to increase the amount of shops in the near future. They have the big name stores like Abercrombie, Aeropostale, and Gap, which is to be expected. The Mall of America is also host to many specialty shops that are local to the area. You can get plenty of souvenirs here to remember your trip to The Mall of America.

The Mall of America has enough food to feed an army. They have over 50 restaurants to choose from. So whether you are in the mood for the typical McDonald’s meal, or if you want to try out Bubba Gump’s you are sure to find something that you will enjoy.
