Drive A Tank

Reviewed By DonN352

My son really enjoyed his experience. The shooting range was an impressive array of weapons. He really liked driving the armored vehicles. The topping was the Sherman tank, one of the few survivors from WWII. My wife and I could ride with him and take pictures. It was worth the long trip from Texas.

Nickelodeon Universe

Reviewed By cynthiamM7775VM - Saint Paul, United States

Bought an all-day pass for rides and the kids took off. Some rode the same ride three times in a row, a couple tried a "scary" ride for them and liked it and the usual Ferris wheel, swings, and carousel were favorites. It is a bright, noisy and exciting place for a day of fun. For the adults, it is great people watching and finding a bench to sit and have a cup of coffee while watching and visiting.

Lego Imagination Center

Six thousand square feet of Lego models in the Mall of America.

Reviewed By 619douglasp

Amazing!! For anyone who appreciates the creativity and imagination that Legos stimulate, this store and exhibit is a must see. The exhibits on top of the store are mind boggling, utilizing millions of pieces to make. Inside the store, you can peruse thousands of kits or buy individual pieces in all colors and piece shapes you can imagine. I purchased a kit for my grandson but, could have spent thousands just buying fun kits for myself.
