Bloomington is the home to the largest mall in the United State in the Mall of America.

It also hosts concerts, fashion shows, weddings, and much more each year. You can spend many hours or several days walking through this enormous shopping center and still have more to see. The Mall of America is an attraction in and of itself as many hotels in Bloomington are easily accessible from its location.

In addition to mall walking, there are plenty of other activities you can participate in around town. The Minneapolis area is home to professional teams in all the major (and minor) American sports leagues with the Minnesota Twins (MLB), Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA), Minnesota Vikings (NFL), Minnesota Wild (NHL), and Minnesota United FC (MLS). Once an Independent League fixture, the St. Paul Saints are now a Minor League Baseball affiliate in the Twins’ system. The Saints have been known to provide quirky and fun in-game entertainment that you won’t see at most baseball stadiums across the country.
