So Much More is one year old, and Mall of America is gearing up for its 32nd birthday! To celebrate, our hosts speak spoke visitors from across the country. Catch our fast, furious + fun interviews filled with fascinating MOA® trivia. Plus, discover what our guests were most excited to see and do!

Friends from Iowa were excited about Nickelodeon rides and experiencing American classics Toys "R" Us and Bubba Gump Shrimp (and yes, they had shrimp.) Two moms and their daughters traveled from St. Louis; they could not wait to try FlyOver America and The Escape Game. And a group from Canada simply came to shop and ride rides.

A family of sneakerheads from Texas was not only anxious to go shoe shopping, but were also was celebrating a birthday (happy birthday, Vernon!). Our new friends from Colorado (and their cousin from Nebraska) were also celebrating a birthday (happy birthday, Jonathan) and wished their loved ones back home a hearty hello. 

A family from Phoenix was stuck in the Twin Cities on a delayed flight and looked forward to eating a whole bunch at the Mall. Finally, Kellen and Ben from Chicago loved going on the Rock Bottom Plunge roller coaster. In Kellen’s words, “Go to Mall of America it has the best indoor park in the world!”

Plus! Host Chris Grap shared event highlights from the Mall’s 32nd birthday celebration including a basketball tournament, celebrity book signing and delicious treats.
