Minnesota’s Big Mall & Bigger Surprises
Spend a morning shopping the newest trends, riding roller coasters and feeding stingrays, an afternoon touring Prince’s private recording studio and an evening watching the sun set over creek-side trails — Bloomington, Minnesota, fits more into a day than most cities fit into a whole vacation.
Mall of America attracts over 40 million visitors a year with tax-free shopping, an indoor theme park, and more family-friendly attractions.
Just outside Bloomington, Prince’s Paisley Park — where the music icon recorded dozens of albums and hosted private concerts — is open for guided tours year-round.
Nearly a third of Bloomington is parkland — from the scenic Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge to the whimsical play area at Hyland Lake Park Preserve.
