The largest mall in the state (and in the country as a whole) is the Mall of America in Bloomington, which opened in 1992. The mall covers about 5.6 million square feet and is the eleventh-largest mall in the world. With four floors, over 500 stores, restaurants, theaters, an aquarium, and the largest indoor theme park in the U.S., the Mall of America is definitely a destination to check out.
In East Rutherford is the 3 million square foot American Dream Meadowlands Mall. This massive mall includes a Nickelodeon Universe theme park, a museum, an aquarium, and even ski slopes. This mall is very newly built after having openings in 2019 and 2020. Unlike what people may think when they hear the word “mall,” only 30 percent of the facilities located at the mall are retail stores.
Right next to New Jersey is another large mall. The King of Prussia Mall is 2.9 million square feet in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. This three-floor mall opened in 1963 and is home to over 450 shops and restaurants, though the layout and stores have changed over time. Unlike the other large mall, King of Prussia doesn’t include attractions but instead focuses on an upscale retail experience that attracts about 22 million shoppers each year.
The South Coast Plaza Mall, in Costa Mesa, is the west coast’s largest mall at 2.8 million square miles. The mall opened in 1967 and has expanded greatly since its opening. Many of its over 250 retail stores are designer fashion establishments. This high concentration of designer goods draws in about 24 million shoppers annually.
The fifth-largest mall in the United States, at 2.7 million square feet, is the Aventura Mall in Aventura, Florida near Miami. The mall is filled with retail shopping and dining establishments. One of the highlights is a self-guided ArtWalk audio tour through the Arts Aventura Mall which highlights at least twenty pieces of museum-quality art. It is also the home of a farmer’s market that has been operating on the weekends for over twenty years.
