Mall of America

Why go

This is the metro area's large-scale indoor retail outing, with entertainment as well as shops under one roof. It also occupies the former Metropolitan Stadium site, where the Twins and Vikings once played; stadium markers connect the present complex to that earlier use. The Blue Line links downtown Minneapolis to the mall, making a car-free visit possible when you can spare several hours.

What to look for

• The complex stands on the former Metropolitan Stadium site in Bloomington.
• Stadium markers recall the baseball field that occupied the site before the mall.
• The Blue Line ends at the mall's lower east-side station.

Useful to know

• Treat Bloomington as a separate metro outing, not a stop on a Minneapolis walking route.
• Allow several hours for the mall and additional time for the Blue Line journey from downtown.
• Check individual attraction hours and admission separately from general mall hours.
