![]() ![]() Located near the Mall of America, Great Wolf Lodge will offer families a great place to stay and play with over 75,000 square feet of indoor water park fun, the Great Wolf Adventure Park and more shopping and dining experiences all under one roof. There are many other great attractions the Twin Cities (and the state of Minnesota) offers such as the Guthrie Theatre, Stone Arch Bridge and nearby Minnehaha Falls that won't rip you off of your money as much as this place.Great Wolf Lodge Minnesota will open its doors in late 2017, joining many of the fun family attractions just outside Minneapolis. Paul, I'd say go ahead and visit this place, but only one time. If this is your first time to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. There are also plenty of food options, even though some might be overpriced, and the washrooms are quite clean, modern and frequently sanitized. Something you won't always find in a place like Mall of America. The good news is that there is free WiFi and parking is free here. In the end, a mall is a mall to me, and the "wow" factor of visiting here faded rather quickly. True, there's stores, restaurants and attractions at MOA you can't find elsewhere such as FlyOver America (an AMAZING ride), a Microsoft store, the Twin City Grill, Minnesota-themed stores (mainly souvenir shops) and Nickelodeon Universe, but I didn't see this a good enough reason for me to absolutely fall in love with this place. A lot of the stores you find here can also be found in your local mall, such as Nordstrom, Foot Locker, Abercrombie, etc. Most things sold here are more expensive than usual (no surprise, of course). That's just like saying the CF Eaton Centre in Toronto should be an attraction when it obviously isn't, because it's just a mall. I do not understand why this mall is even considered an attraction. I wasn't feeling the hype of the Mall of America at all. Took a while for them to come and by then the fight had moved to parking lots! Crazy and scary for my kids to see. They did have lots of security but when a fight broke out at the mall exit after closing they were no where to be found. Some stores open later than 10am and close before 7pm. Make sure you have reservations to dining and attractions at least 2 days before you come to this mall!!! Also they do close early at 7pm on weekdays. Also all floors and food court area were pretty filthy. (Different levels) but pricing was average. The mall itself had a lot of repeat stores. The aquarium was also sold out but we did go through the lines and found a ticket kiosk at entrance w tickets for later that evening though. Got on at 11am and finally got in at 6pm. We got in to Nickelodeon universe because we went at mall opening and got on a wait list. If they weren’t so expensive for a family of 6 I’d have gone to all! Downside during Covid was that EVERY attraction had a long line to get into and most were “sold out” for the day or next two days. ![]() Many stores mainly food items/stores I was not aware were here and happy to visit like sugar factory and Carlo’s cake shop, as well as the attractions. I gave this mall a 4 star because I’d never been here and it was an experience. ![]() Left completely disgusted and killed time elsewhere while my guests were in the mall. If it were easy for me to hop from entrance to entrance, I would not be needed a scooter. At no time did anyone on the phone or in person offer to radio elsewhere for a scooter or to go get one for me this mall is HUGE and it costs $40 to rent the scooter. I went in and there were two people working, they said they had no scooters there and told me I could go to the north or west entrance. Moved my car to anther parking site adjacent to east entrance, called guest services to assure there would be a scooter available, and rep told me it would be fine (after putting me on hold to check) saying that "someone could get one from the basement" for me as there were none at the desk at the moment. Very frustrating as obviously I have trouble with mobility or I would not be wanting to rent a scooter. Went in south entrance & desk was closed for the day called guest services and rep suggested I go to another entrance. Drove 2 1/2 hrs, spent $$$ for hotel next to MOA, for fun day planned for my soon to start college kiddo & a friend. Had read that mobility scooters were available at each guest services desk at each of the main entrances. ![]()
