The Busy, Busy Mall of America

The largest mall in the entirety of The United States, the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, boasts over 500 stores, an entire theme park, an aquarium, and dozens of attractions to get as much foot traffic through its doors. And yet, for all its size and options of things to do, it still manages to suffer from many tourists' worst nightmare: overcrowding. It's so busy that you won't reliably be able to find a "quiet" day to visit if you want to take some time shopping since everyone is always on the move to cover as much ground as possible.

This sensory overload of a mall isn't without its perks, of course. There are plenty of stores that cater to anything you could ever need, but that isn't exactly special. The novelty quickly wears off when you realize it's just a giant mall.
