If you’re moving to Bloomington, you’ll want to take some time to explore its many parks and trails. It’s such a large suburb that you have the East side with the Mall of America and the airport, but the West side feels like hidden away neighborhoods, parks and smaller strip malls.

HELPFUL REPORT

If you are moving to Bloomington, you are moving to a city that has one of the largest indoor shopping malls, the Mall of America. There are many different shops to browse as well as an amusement park. There are also dozens of restaurants to choose from if you stay and shop all day.

Bloomington is home to the largest indoor mall in the United States. The mall is so big that the body heat generated from visitors alone is enough to heat the mall in winter. Across the highway from the mall, is the largest water park in the United States. Tourists from all over the world fly in to visit both of these amazing locations.
