If you're down to scrounge, this place might be for you (I'd just urge you to wash your hands after). That said, I specifically went here today because I needed a stapler. Mine went missing when I moved (probably in some box I've yet to unpack in my storage unit), and there's zero need to purchase a brand new stapler when I know I can get an old reliable Swingline from a thrift place like this (plus, I remembered on my first amble through here that they had a whole basket of staplers). Sure enough, I was able to acquire a stapler. But you can bet your ass that I brought along some staples to test out said staplers... the first one I picked up had a busted spring, but the second was fully functional. Both had been priced at $3. I mention this simply as a word of warning to consider testing before you buy.) I also picked up a bobbin thread case and a quart sized bag of crayons (both priced at $3) while I was there. This place is good for finding the kind of craft stuff your granny would keep around at a low price. And honestly, you're doing the environment a BIG favor to snag this kind of thing off a thrift store shelf rather than "convenience buy" it off Amazon or whatever. You can save money and feel good about yourself. The rest of the store has stuff like glassware, clothing, kids stuff, and holiday decor. It's not all amazing stuff. I reckon a lot of folks donate stuff they don't care to sort through when an elderly parent finally kicks it. The employee behind the checkout counter was a little slow to bother acknowledging me, but once we were interacting, they were friendly enough and wished me a good day; seemed like they were happy I actually bought something instead of just browsing.

However; I also love coming randomly throughout the year to get updated clothing items. I typically like to check out under Armour and Nike, the Columbia store also has a separate outlet location as well. Recently, I feel like prices haven't been nearly as good as they used to, but in this economy, who can blame them. I would love to see a little bit more variation in the food court, it's mostly Asian cuisines and Cinnabon. All delicious but would love to see some more options. There's a ton of parking, but if you come on a busy weekend, you may not notice and still have to park far away. Bummed to see some recent retailers, leaving, they've been replaced with stores that my opinion were is great. Overall, a decent shopping trip, it's also in a great location. There's plenty of other stores/eating nearby. I recommend checking out the Twin Cities premium outlets if you haven't been there before.

First time coming here, never knew there was an outdoor mall near the Mall of America. Overall it's…read morean average sized mall. It's nearly identical to the Aurora Outlet mall back home in Illinois so navigating this building felt like I was back home. There weren't any outdoor vendors, maybe they'll be there in the summer. There was ample amount of parking and a great variety of stores where you could find half of them at the Mall of America itself. This mall is very clean without any riff raff from my visit here. Not the best selection of restaurants from the food court

They had sets and some other stuff that was $14.99 or so but overall everything was cheap & looked cheap in my opinion. There was only one lady working, she was at the register. They have fitting rooms. My cousin waited in line just to ask if she could use the fitting room to try on a pair of pants (she doesn't live in MN so if they don't fit there's no way for her to return them), she was told the fitting rooms were closed. It was a Saturday afternoon. That was a bit disappointing at a store like this. Kind of similar to Rainbow & Charlotte Russe.

I'll admit it. The Mall of America as they call it hits pretty hard. It's over 30 years old &…read moremanaged by a Canadian company but it's got all the American staples. Parking is a bit tricky to navigate as clear markings aren't present so be familiar with which attractions you want to see & park near those. Once inside, it's massive but the kiosks are quite helpful. We grabbed a movie with comfortable recliner seating & also checked out the Fly Over America which may sound corny, but it's cool. A bit pricy, but worth the splurge if you're struggling for a signature experience. Food is in abundance & offerings have a slight edge over standard mall menus as options are plenty. Park is the pinnacle & doesn't disappoint. The sheer scale of an amusement park inside a mall is cool. If you're not into rides, grab a phone charger at the kiosk & a table overlooking the mania & listen to the screams. Rides are open late & likely a winter solace from the snow. If you're open to it, it's worth the hype. Get your steps in today

I had such an amazing time at Mall of America. It was honestly an experience, not just a mall!…read moreThere is so much to do that you can easily spend an entire day (or more) there and still not see everything.One of the highlights for me was FlyOver America. It was such an incredible experience it really makes you feel like you're flying, and the visuals are so realistic. Definitely a must-do if you visit! I also loved all the food options. There are so many places to choose from, and everything I had was delicious. It's nice being able to take a break from walking around and enjoy a good meal without even leaving the mall.Another favorite was the axe throwing it was SO fun and something different from the usual mall activities. It added a really exciting, adventurous vibe to the day and made the whole experience even more memorable. The atmosphere throughout the mall is lively, clean, and full of energy. There's something for everyone shopping, entertainment, food, and unique attractions all in one place. It's perfect for a fun day out with friends or family.I would 100% recommend visiting, and I can't wait to go back and try even more things next time!
