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

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.

Plenty of trails and hiking area allows for long hikes and opportunities to let you dog run off leash. I went during the week so was able to avoid many other people/dogs. Well maintained walking trails and hiking paths along with plenty of parking.
