At the doorstep of Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), Bloomington is home to the world-famous Mall of America, featuring more than 520 retail shops and amazing attractions like Nickelodeon Universe, SEA LIFE at Mall of America, and FlyOver America. Over 50 restaurants in the mall provide endless options for groups, along with global cuisine prepared by award-winning chefs at Bloomington hotels.
Getting here is a breeze. MSP was named the No. 1 airport in the U.S. by Airports Council International, and its central location means flight times are always reasonable—even from the coasts. Once here, groups of all sizes can choose from over 46 Bloomington hotels within minutes of top attractions and the airport. Several hotels offer free shuttle service to the airport and Mall of America, and Bloomington is well-connected to Minneapolis and St. Paul via light-rail.
The meeting spaces at Mall of America, JW Marriott Minneapolis Mall of America, and Radisson Blu Mall of America combine fantastic facilities, fine dining, and dazzling entertainment with the ultimate convenience of being under one roof. With a total of 842 hotel rooms and 83,000 square feet of meeting space, these three facilities allow teams large and small to get together in an atmosphere that sets every meeting up for success.
There are many fun and engaging activities for groups, like immersive dining experiences at FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar, pulse-pounding team challenges at Great Big Game Show Minneapolis, fitness classes at lululemon Mall of America, behind-the-scenes tours of the mall, and more.
