As one of the largest malls in the world, The Mall of America is one of the highlights of Minnesota, offering guests an overwhelming selection of more than 500 different stores. Located in Bloomington, this attraction offers more than an expansive shopping experience; the mall also houses a wedding chapel, a miniature golf course and the mall's amusement park, Nickelodeon Universe.

A short distance to the south of the mall, shoppers can get some fresh air at the Minnesota Zoo. This zoo was one of the first in the world to organize animals by their habitat instead of their species. The zoo is divided between six different areas, including the Medtronic Minnesota Trail, where visitors can observe many of Minnesota's native animals in naturalistic habitats.

To distance themselves even further from the great indoors, visitors can spend time along the North Shore Scenic Drive. This 154-mile roadway travels along the north shore of Lake Superior and passes through several beautiful state parks.

The city of Minneapolis offers a variety of cultural attractions, including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. This museum contains over 80,000 objects covering thousands of years of human history and features an extensive collection of Asian artwork.

For visitors who long to learn more about the city's history, the Mill City Museum is a great place to spend a day. This museum highlights the history of flour milling, an important industry in Minneapolis, through the Flour Tower. Visitors can take a ride on a freight elevator and observe several steps of the flour milling process.

In neighboring St. Paul, the Science Museum of Minnesota offers an exciting dinosaur gallery that visitors of all ages will enjoy. Children can also bring natural artifacts, such as pine cones, to the Collections Gallery to earn points.
