THINGS TO DO
-
The Park at MOA
"Spent 2 days at the Mall of America. Must say that the Park at MOA changes very little over the years. I guess it is in the process of being changed to new owners again. This time Nickelodean. So the rides are the same. The staff here is very unfriendly. They seem to just have a job. In fact waiting for one ride the girl told a co-worker that she was tired and didn't feel like moving fast today. She indeed did not as I timed it and it took 14 minutes from the stop of the ride until the next one took off. That is ridiculous. Other rides we encountered the same slowness. It would be nice to see some smiles on the faces of the employees here. Their reactions tell me that they don't like their jobs. The managers here need to light some fires under their people. It could be a great place if there was some livelyhood in the people. This is definitely not a Disney World mentality. It will be a long time before we go. I will need word of mouth to hear if things have changed." - a Tripadvisor user

Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
"First of all, the sculpture garden is free so what do you have to lose by checking it out? Second, unlike the recently opened sculpture park in Seattle, there are no rules against touching the art. Third, this is a beautiful urban space that shouldn't be missed. Right next to the Walker Art Museum and a stone's throw from the imposing bascilica, the sculpture garden has become an iconic part of life in the Twin Cities. No visit is complete without a picture of yourself in front of the Cherry Spoon!" - a Tripadvisor user
