If you intend to privilege the Mall of America indoors, any time of the year is a good time. Just take into account some special times (Christmas or Easter, for instance) or the dozens of events (ranging from celebrity appearances to product promotions or fashions shows...) and the differences between weekdays and weekends (and holidays) in terms of crowds. If you want to avoid big crowds then avoid the weekends and holidays.

Open Hours: 10 am - 9:30 pm, Monday-Saturday; 11 am - 7 pm, Sunday


WHEN NOT TO GO TO THE MALL OF AMERICA
