3.5/5 Nothing to…read morecomplain about here, it's a mall! This one is trying to stay relevant and isn't completely empty like some others in the metro. Some shops are empty and others are being remodeled and opening again. I visited on a Friday (Valentine's Day) and it was pretty steady but not packed, I could find a place to sit down and relax by myself if I wanted to (and I did!) Shop selection is meh, I went into a few but didn't find anything to purchase which is just fine by me - I needed a place to hang out that was warm and this was it! Bubble tea, Caribou and smoothies to choose from - I didn't see a food court but I wasn't particularly looking.

Ridgedale is a pretty chill mall. I usually end up here for happy hour at Kona then we walk around…read moreto walk the food & drinks off after. There's only a handful of store I really shop at here but I'm sure overall there's something for everyone. I feel like Ridgedale has been one of the consistent malls (as far as growing up in MN and seeing a lot of malls struggle to keep stores) that never felt like it was closing. I do wish they would decorate more especially for the holidays. They have the Santa pop up in the middle of the mall which is cute but that's its own experience. Also a somewhat better food court would be cool, but there are a ton of options for food outside of the mall/in the area. They do host cool events from time to time like the traveling Hello Kitty Cafe, which is cool.

The flower show at the galleria was a beautiful welcome to spring!! I think last year they had more…read moreflowers throughout the hallways too but even without the extra flowers the creativity of the artists really came thru. I loved they had a variety of artists from different backgrounds like the Lao Thai Lao inspired display and the Vietnamese display. Also the nod to Mary Tyler Moore was fun complete with a Nicollet Ave sign!! Also I loved the gold touch of Urban Blooms. Next time it'd be great if they added more ballot boxes. Also a sign for the Westin gallery flowers Loved all the beautiful exhibits thanks for hosting!!!

I had such an amazing time at Mall of America. It was honestly an experience, not just a mall!…read moreThere is so much to do that you can easily spend an entire day (or more) there and still not see everything.One of the highlights for me was FlyOver America. It was such an incredible experience it really makes you feel like you're flying, and the visuals are so realistic. Definitely a must-do if you visit! I also loved all the food options. There are so many places to choose from, and everything I had was delicious. It's nice being able to take a break from walking around and enjoy a good meal without even leaving the mall.Another favorite was the axe throwing it was SO fun and something different from the usual mall activities. It added a really exciting, adventurous vibe to the day and made the whole experience even more memorable. The atmosphere throughout the mall is lively, clean, and full of energy. There's something for everyone shopping, entertainment, food, and unique attractions all in one place. It's perfect for a fun day out with friends or family.I would 100% recommend visiting, and I can't wait to go back and try even more things next time!

This mall has been on my bucket list for while, and while malls are far and few inbetween in my…read morearea, I was taken back to the malls I use to frequent when I was a teenager and in my young 20s. The cool thing about this is that you can catch the train right into the place just about. I had a 9:30 flight that was arriving in to Minneapolis and of course I couldn't check into my hotel. I bought an all day train pass and made my way. The coolest thing is that there are lockers of various sizes so you can store your luggage (for a nominal fee) and wander around this massive mall, got to about 1/3rd of it. I was taken back to the the 90's with the old school music playing and some of the stores that I thought didn't exist anymore. There were at least two of the same store but just on different levels or sides of the part of the mall I was in. The amusement park in the mall with the rollercoaster and kiddie rides and roaming characters was awesome. I went back the aquarium, which I would have gone into but it was filled with kids, and honestly it was too early :) Had a great meal at the crepe restaurant. If I was a senior retired, its a great nifty 50s walking spot or just getting out people watch. I would definitely try to go back to see the other parts and to stay the hell out of the cold weather this California gal is not used too.

I recommend this mall for parents with young kids who don't want to spend much or anything at all…read more They have a lovely closed off play area on the lower level that good for toddlers through kindergarten. Outside of that is the largest collection of quarter slot rides that I know of. They accept card payment or lets your kids pretend and don't pay to turn them on at all. Then there's a train ride and rideable animals for a fee. In Scheels they have a beautiful aquarium, a fun shooting range for a small fee and a ferris wheel that's only $1 per rider. Then upstairs they have a nice food court with clean restrooms and a variety of food options. I wish all malls were like this.

5 Stars for Unexpected Wonders at Eden Prairie Center!…read more Eden Prairie Center gets 5 stars from me after an Easter photoshoot turned into a fun adventure. I wasn't even planning on going to the mall, but it was worth the trip. What really surprised me was Scheels. The size of it is impressive, but the fact they had a real aquarium and a Ferris wheel?! That's a whole other level! It's cool to see a store go above and beyond with entertainment and attractions. I also loved how the staff were very helpful pointing me in the right direction. I didn't shop at any of the other stores so I can't comment on those, but overall it was nice. It was a beautiful day and I just enjoyed walking around and taking it all in. If you need to get out of the house, stretch your legs and be surprised by a unique shopping experience, Eden Prairie Center is a must visit. Scheels alone is worth the trip! Win for a fun unexpected outing.

If you know me, you know I like fashionable things. However, in knowing me, you would also discover…read morethat I try to seek out those same items for the most affordable price: enter Albertville Premium Outlets. ++ During our visit we checked out: Michael Kors, Coach, North Face, and Zales. There's ample other store offerings including Kate Spade, Zumiez, Torrid, Ralph Lauren, Carters, and more! ++ The layout is pretty typical; a strip mall, with each store's entrance going directly to the outside. ++ There is a Five Guys and Starbucks to satisfy any pre- or post-shopping hunger. ++ Albertville Premium Outlets def offers more than enough parking to handle any size crowd. -- Like most outlet malls I've been to in the past few years, there are quite a few vacancies. Def a bummer. Albertville Premium Outlets def checked all the items I have come to expect in an outlet mall. I'd gladly stop back by on my way to Northern Minnesota again.

Variety of shopping and dining options [Eden Prairie MN]…read more Oh, what is this place... it's like a mini Bay Area Seafood City in California but more restaurant options and a nicer aesthetic appeal. We were craving for Asian food but many restaurants closed early... we found a Chinese restaurant that stayed open longer that evening and after checking-in our hotel we drove to the Asia Mall. This shopping center had two levels of diverse offerings including Asian groceries, snacks, drinks, bakery and a variety of international products. Nice and clean with spacious layout, well-organized. Downstairs we found sections showcasing different Asian non-food merch and cultural items. Upstairs are many restaurants. Guests have the option of using the stairs or the elevator. Asia Mall is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to explore Asian culture and cuisine in Minnesota. Parking is plentiful.

The Twin Cities premium outlets is a great option if you're looking for affordable clothes/gifts…read more We typically come here around the holidays to do Christmas shopping. However; I also love coming randomly throughout the year to get updated clothing items. I typically like to check out under Armour and Nike, the Columbia store also has a separate outlet location as well. Recently, I feel like prices haven't been nearly as good as they used to, but in this economy, who can blame them. I would love to see a little bit more variation in the food court, it's mostly Asian cuisines and Cinnabon. All delicious but would love to see some more options. There's a ton of parking, but if you come on a busy weekend, you may not notice and still have to park far away. Bummed to see some recent retailers, leaving, they've been replaced with stores that my opinion were is great. Overall, a decent shopping trip, it's also in a great location. There's plenty of other stores/eating nearby. I recommend checking out the Twin Cities premium outlets if you haven't been there before.

It's nearly identical to the Aurora Outlet mall back home in Illinois so navigating this building felt like I was back home. There weren't any outdoor vendors, maybe they'll be there in the summer.

Not the best selection of restaurants from the food court
