The Mall of America is the biggest mall in the United States with over 500 stores. My shopping list was still not complete as I was still looking for some brand-new white dress shirts. The Mall of America is a four level mall and in order to walk once around a particular level one would traverse .6 mile. I stayed at the Mall for around three hours and although I did a little shopping at Nordstrom Rack, most of the time I was just zipping around through all the levels and I figure that I probably walked nearly 5 miles during my visit.
Visiting the Mall of America might seem like an obvious thing to do while visiting Minneapolis. In fact, I had been there twice in the past 20 years of visiting Minneapolis. The 'old' Marc would have been far less interested in visiting a place that required so much walking, so much effort. The 'new' Marc found this same requirement the exact reason for visiting. I think that it is a great way to spend an evening in Minneapolis - it's a guaranteed multiple mile walk and therefore a calorie burning event It's a lot more challenging than spending three hours shopping on amazon.com and a far healthier way of spending an evening.
