Technically, the Mall of America is completely free to visit—you only pay for parking, shopping, dining, and individual attractions within the mall, such as Nickelodeon Universe and the SEA LIFE® Minnesota Aquarium, which have their own entrance fees. If you’re looking for a deal, combo packages for discounted tickets are available.

At 5.6 million square feet (520,000 square meters) with some 500 stores, as well as attractions including entire theme parks, let’s just say you could be here awhile without running out of things to do. There are four levels, and each level is 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) to walk around. In short, allow at least a full day here to take it all in.

Beyond that, the mall features about 500 stores, 50 restaurants, entertainment venues, and mini golf courses too.
