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
