We live only about five miles from the Mall of America and they have an awesome Kogo store there…read more It is open air and have plenty of large LEGO statues all over and even some huge ones hanging from the ceiling. The service is great and they have a play area for kids where they can do LEGOs and the sets are split well in their themes. It is right by the entrance of the huge indoor amusement park, (Lots of good rides, try it out at least one time, good roller coasters and worth a day) Not super discounts, but a great selection!

BRICK BY BRICK One…read moreof the largest LEGO Stores in the USA can be found inside the country's biggest mall. My wife and I brought the kids here on our second day at the Mall of America. We spent close to an hour milling around, looking at the displays and creating our own LEGO minifigs. The huge wall of "pick & build" bricks is a sight to behold, featuring 180 different types of pieces. Above the store are a series of larger-than-life dioramas, including a caveman fighting off a LEGO sabretooth tiger, a gladiator battling a huge minotaur, a helicopter suspended from the ceiling, and a massive 34ft Gundam mech suit.  Hats off to the team of master builders that assembled these! There's a freeplay area for kids to explore and design; most employees are big LEGO fans themselves and are more than happy to help out or answer questions.  On the shelves, you can find nearly every themed set imaginable: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Back to the Future, Star Wars, Fortnite, Bluey, and many more. One item that stood out to me was a 9,000pc Death Star set (retail price: $999.99 USD) that seemed more like a "dare" purchase than a real thing.  Who the f*** has enough disposable income to drop a grand on a toy??  Now that I think of it, a lot of the bigger sets like LOTR's Isengard, Hogwarts, and the Ghostbusters firehouse were thousands of pieces (and hundreds of dollars!) * TL;DR * Any visit to the LEGO Store is a colorful one, especially when we're talking about a flagship store. Of the 83 LEGO retail outlets in the country, the one inside the Mall of America is second-largest at 6,500sq ft - Rockefeller Plaza recently claimed the title with 7,175sq ft.  There's plenty to look at here, so be sure to stop by the LEGO Store inside MoA!

Showing loyalty and love for all things Minnesota and Prince…read more Minnesota love all up in here. Super soft sweatshirts and sweatpants too.

I'm not sure if I love Minnesota, but I purchased some souvenirs that would suggest I do!…read more I stopped here after visiting the neighboring sister gift shop, which has similar items with more of a rustic spin, whereas this shop has more items that were handmade in Minnesota and just seemed softer (for lack of a better word). I purchased some goodies for my friend who's watching my cats back home. Surprisingly, this shop was the only one I saw that had Prince-themed memorabilia. Since my friend is a big fan of the High Priest of Pop, I purchased her a t-shirt and a magnet, as well as a vibrant shot glass. Altogether, the items ran me around $45, which doesn't seem too bad given it's a) a gift shop and b) located in MOA.

I received a gift for my son when he was younger and that was how I was introduced to this store. The associates are helpful and friendly. They always have great deals and coupons especially if you are a part of their free "club". I went in today and randomly had a coupon on my account for $15 off! Woo hoooo! They have lots of flash cards, stem projects, educational and fun games, etc. A great alternate option other than shopping for toys at the "regular" places (Target, fleet farm, kohls, etc)
