While I didn't go there opening day. I have gone there on a regular basis since 1992. In 1993 I went there one morning after hearing a local radio station was giving out 92 pairs of tickets at a couple different entrances. I had nothing better to do so I went out there and 30 minutes later I had a pair for Paul McCartney in the Metrodome.

I used to come here every weekend during my junior year of high school. Go to the arcade’s and buy a Cinnabon which was $3.00, went a couple weeks ago and now it’s almost $8! Thanks for the video, brought back a lot of great memories 😢

Wow this is really cool. I drove across the country from Florida with my family National Lampoon Vacation style - with a dachshund on my lap for most of it - this is about exactly what it looked like when I was a kid there in 1994 =)

This is how the mall looked when my family would go once a year. I was a pre-teen when this opened and it was amazing to me. We would go for our back to school clothes shopping, which consisted of usually just buying a pair of shoes and a pair of jeans and maybe a shirt if we were lucky but mostly it was our last hurrah before school started and we’d spend most of the time in the amusement park (we didn’t live very far from here at the time, edit: we were about 4 hours away).

Thanks for posting! Brings back a lot of memories. I was 18 years old and switched between operating the Log Ride and Bumper cars all that weekend in my Camp Snoopy uniform with my socks pulled up to my knees. 😃 Was quite an exciting event! Them days are looong gone...

Man. This makes me feel really old. I remember when it opened. I still think of it as the "new" mall.

I remember this time in MOA, and seeing its evolution throughout the years. Now that I live local, I wish I could see it now, how it was then, a mall paradise... It still is to a degree, but nothing like it was in the 90's.

I only seen the outside of this mall, i was stuck at the diesel mechanics garage in this area in 2005 getting my tractor repaired, I worked for Taylor Truck Lines out of Northfield. I always wanted to see inside of the mall of America.......thank you for this video. 🙂

Cell phones, online shopping, streaming movies, and the Internet’s “free” entertainment and communication options; this has made the USA insular and “cliquey”. Malls have died and the fun shared-community feeling we once knew has taken a beating. Family members have dinner, all focus on their smartphones, now living in their own little world.

I get what you mean but does everybody have to say that in every video that is about the past, it’s literally every video. I understand what you are saying but it just gets tiring and unoriginal reading the same comments over and over again.

@@jamesdavid1185 It's true, social media has had such a huge impact on how people think, act, dress, etc. Back then as one might say, it was more simple times. No people with bright pink hair, emo boots, weird outfits, really tells you alot.
