Twin Cities Live’s Mike Marcotte found hacks on navigating Mall of America, along with some with spots to check out once you are there!

Parking

• Use Mall of America’s valet services
  • Drop off at JW Marriott, Radisson Blu or at the North Entrance
  • Start at $12
  • They will bring your car to the location closest to where you are at the end of your day
  • You can also get your car washed and oil changed while you shop the Mall of America!
• Self parking
  • Check the Mall of America’s website to see real-time parking stats, including which ramp has more spots available
  • Many people say to park on level 1 (street level) or level 4 — neither level has stairs, making it easier for everyone to get into the Mall
  • Insider: multiple folks say to park near Nordstrom — they have the best parking, and some of the best bathrooms
