If you want to check out the largest mall in the United States, then head to MOA (Mall of America), located in Bloomington. There are three floors, and it is 5.6 million square feet total area. It is huge! Just don't forget where you park. It is fun because you can enjoy their movie theater, shop at any store you can think of, check out restaurants and go on rides at the Nickelodeon Theme Park.
