Planning a quick trip to Minnesota was not on the travel plans for this year. However, after virtual school, and zero traveling all year. The accommodation were right. I always wanted to visit mall of America, Nickelodeon Universe. this was the perfect time. So we booked a hotel, flight , and headed out!
HOTEL.
Where you lay your head should match the level of your home if not better, In my opinion. While looking for a hotel for this trip. I had a few must haves, high on my list of must haves were kid friendly, lobby amenities like gift store, restaurant and hotel shuttle, from the airport to the hotel, and from the hotel to mall of America. Here are a few I found across my search

Mall of America has tons to do. Over 500 stores and serval different attractions. Sea life, is one of the many attractions. It has an amazing under water tunnel. The aquarium is designed as a walk through tunnel. I recommend purchasing tickets in advance and early, to avoid walking behind a huge crowd.
