Being bigger isn’t always better, but in Mall of America’s case, it is.
Size is just one of the reasons that MOA is CSA’s No. 1 Retail Center Experience for 2023.The 5.6 million-sq.-ft. mega-mall covers 129 acres in Bloomington, Minn., enough space to accommodate 11 Target Field baseball stadiums (Target Field is home of the local Minnesota Twins). The Minneapolis Metro Blue and D lines stop inside the center. That not only gives residents and visitors to the Twin Cities easy access to MOA, but also travelers burdened with long layovers at the nearby Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. They can hop a 10-minute ride to America’s largest mall and kill a few hours in a place that houses more than 500 stores and 60 restaurants — they can even ride the Avatar Airbender at Nickelodeon Universe to prepare for their next flight.
“Mall of America benefits from a unique infrastructure. Even in the cold Minnesota winters we’re packed because can you get here and have a great time here without ever having to go outside,” said MOA’s chief business development & marketing Officer Jill Renslow.
