Bloomington: the best of both worlds
you like cities with remarkable contrast, you will love Bloomington, Minnesota! Where else can you find deer grazing in the shadow of a major metropolitan airport, a 10mile strip of hotels, fine dining and upscale entertainment coexisting with 300 species of birds, reptiles and amphibians, and the country’s largest enclosed shopping and entertainment complex, Mall of America?
Bloomington’s accessibility and affordability, kaleidoscope of attractions, events and entertainment, midpoint location between Minneapolis and Saint Paul and unique blend of cultural sophistication and natural beauty have long delighted visitors from New York to California. Our 33 hotels offer ind oor pools, free parking and complimentary airport and Mall of America transportation. With 7,000 guest rooms, 150 restaurants, diversity of entertainment and the first-rate service from 20,000 hospitality industry employees, Bloomington has earned one of Minnesota’s largest cities the designation: City of Hospitality.
When the Mall of America opened in the summer of 1992, Bloomington became an international media star and a mecca for overseas visitors. The world’s premier retail and entertainment complex hosts over 40 million visitors and records approximately $650 million in total sales every year, making it the Midwest’s hottest attraction and a must see destination.
