Have you ever been to the Mall of America? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PZelda · 04-02-2004, 07:37 PM

I'm going to Minneapolis next weekend for my Easter break, and I'm going to be hitting up the Mall of America. This won't be my first time, I've been there MANY times before.

I just want to know if anybody's ever had the chance to visit the biggest mall in the US, and what you thought of it (if you got to go there).

Tuesday Weld · 04-02-2004, 07:47 PM

I've never been there.

Dutabi84 · 04-02-2004, 07:49 PM

I've been there a few times. I've stayed in the Minneapolis area a lot durring the summers when I lived in Minnesota. It's a cool place.

Penny Lane · 04-02-2004, 08:11 PM

No, I have never been there. But I hate shopping! So I probably won't ever go there!

Brian · 04-02-2004, 08:17 PM

I went there in the Summer of 1993. My family and I went on a vacation for several weeks and traveled through the Midwest and back. We visited a family that had then-recently moved from near where we live to Minnesota. They took my family there and from what I remember we had a lot of fun. I didn't know until I read this thread that it was the biggest mall in the U.S.

Minnesota was great but I HATED those darn mosquitoes.

ive never been there, but coincidentally, we had a big talk about it in Journalism class about Mall of America. It sounds like fun though

Yep...I'm pretty sure it's the biggest mall in the US...it should be, it's 5 stories high with more than 500 stores, plus Camp Snoopy.

I know there's another mall that's in Canada and is larger than MOA

And I went to MOA in the summer of 1993, too!

*Pleasant Tomorrow* · 04-02-2004, 08:26 PM

No, I never go to cool places like that.

Hollow · 04-02-2004, 08:32 PM

any mall with claires and hot topic is satisfying enough.

I've never been to the Mall of America.

Brent88 · 04-02-2004, 08:40 PM

Never have, but If I go crazy one day I might go. LOL... I'm not a good prolonged shopper. 99% of the time I go to the store(or mall), I know what I will be looking for ahead of time, and I usually get what I want and get out.

I never been to MOA. I would like to go there one day. The mall you are talking about in Canada is the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta. It's believed to be the world's largest shopping centre. I have never been there either.

Georgia's on my Mind · 04-02-2004, 08:55 PM

nope, ive been to the kop mall though

Cashodeen · 04-02-2004, 09:02 PM

I haven't been to either the Mall of America or the West Edmonton Mall. Someday it would be fun to go to both. I've always liked large malls.

That's the one!

MOA is pretty famous - it's hosted TONS of major events...A lot of big-name celebs have been there...Last summer (in June 2003), Amy Davidson, Martin Spanjers and John Ritter hosted a fundraiser there.

I was supposed to go to the MOA in June, around the time they were doing their fundraising, but it never happened. I did go in May, though.

I just checked their website (www.mallofamerica.com) and next month, on the 10th, Kathie Lee Gifford is having a performance and then an autograph signing afterwards @ Sam Goody Central. There'e usually a lot more going on in the summertime, though...and the best time to go to the MOA.
