Mall of America opened in 1992 to much fanfare. It has over 520 stores, 50 restaurants, a theme park, rides, movie theaters, an aquarium, and other attractions (such as The Lego Store). It has events like book signings, live music, and Toddler Tuesdays. No matter what your interest, you will certainly find something to slake it here. The Megamall, as it's affectionately known, is a popular tourist attraction as well as a local favorite.
