Bloomington Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We recently took the 2 hour tour of St Paul MN with Cool Destinations Bus. JB was our guide and he was exceptionally knowledgeable and shared a lot of stories about the people, architecture, and history of the area. JB was a delight to tour with.

Very nice exhibits and friendly staff! Very nice aquarium!

Great tour. Very interesting and informative. Great tour guide, very knowledgeableand engaging. You get lots of area history.

So much fun! We got lots of great pictures!

Great stay great view great place great people. All around couldn’t have picked a better option!!!!!

Lots of fun! Great photo opportunities for the illusions created. Staff was great explaining how the illusions are created and used in animation creation.

I had never heard of this before doing it with my kids and grandkids. It was so much fun, just wish it was longer! We had 8 of us total which I think was a pretty good number.

My teenage grandchildren loved the experience at Mall America. The rides were amazing.

We visited the Crayola Experience in the Mall of America for my daughter’s 7th birthday. Both she and her older sister (age 9) had the best time. We spent 3 hours here and enjoyed every minute. The wide variety of activities as well as the small play area were all wonderful. They especially enjoyed wrapping their own crayons and making animal shaped crayons with custom colors. Would definitely recommend this experience for anyone visiting the Minneapolis area. We felt it was well worth the cost.

Really fun course. Was easy to scan the tickets to be able to play!

crayola experience is honestly such a fun place. even if you're an older kid like me, its still really fun and there's opportunities for everyone.

Great and fun experience. Went on a Monday. Was not busy at all and got the whole court to ourselves. Would definitely come back.

Great music while playing golf. Holes are challenging but fun. Loved the 1970 theme. Had a great time and would try it again.

Cute, fun course. Probably cheaper to just buy tickets directly there. Worth the stop if you like mini golf.

It was truly jaw dropping to walk into the Mall of America and suddenly see full-size roller coasters zipping around right in front of me. I wasn’t expecting such a massive indoor amusement park, and the sight of loops, tracks, and rides weaving through the heart of the mall was incredible. The energy and excitement hit me the moment I stepped inside. Nickelodeon Universe is unlike anything I’ve seen before — it’s surreal to be shopping one minute and then hear the screams of thrill-seekers flying overhead the next. The atmosphere is vibrant, colorful, and full of life, making the entire experience unforgettable. If you’ve never been, it’s worth the trip just for the shock and awe of walking into a mall and finding roller coasters zooming around above you. A one-of-a-kind experience!

Me and my boyfriend had a wonderful experience! I personally loved the animal crossing theme. We ran into an employee, Cyrus, who gave us alot of information on the animals which was amazing. They also brought us to the back area to feed turtles! Like what?! Highly recommend!
