 * BLOOMINGTON 3 DAY SUMMER ITINERARY

 * Previous
 * Next

Spice up your summer with fun in Bloomington, Minnesota. A three-day getaway is
just enough time to hit the highlights in Bloomington but there will always be
something to explore that leaves you wanting more. Read on for the perfect
itinerary for your trip so all you have to do is have a good time.

BONUS TIP: Download our free Play, Stay and Save Pass. Here you can find hotel
offers, restaurant coupons, discounted admission to Crayola Experience, and
special deals to collect all the necessary Minnesota & Mall of America
souvenirs!

Day 1
Welcome to Bloomington! After a car ride with the kids, we know you’ll want to
get settled. Check into one of our 40+ hotels and take advantage of one of the
special packages in the area, then get refreshed for the rest of the day. There
is so much to see, so make sure you put on some good walking shoes!

Mall of America is the highlight of Bloomington and a must-see. Spend the rest
of the afternoon shopping at the Mall's 520+ stores, including new spots like
Nectar Bath Treats, Purple Mattress, and ALAND. Be sure to stop by attractions
like Moose Mountain Adventure Golf, The Escape Game, or FlyOver America.

After shopping, celebrate the start of your getaway with a meal on the patio of
Cedar + Stone, Urban Table. Their farm-fresh, elevated meals in a luxurious
atmosphere will immediately make you say, “ahhh… vacation…”. If you'd like to
explore a restaurant outside of the Mall, explore one of our hidden gems. Patio
Dining at Cedar + Stone, Urban Table

Day 2
Now that you’ve gotten your initial itch to shop out, it's time to explore all
the outdoor activities Bloomington has to offer. Start the day with a sunrise
hike at the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge, one of only 14 Regional
Priority Urban Wildlife Refuges in the nation. Then head to Urbana Craeft
Kitchen and Market at Hyatt-Regency Bloomington Minneapolis for a cup of joe and
a taste of Bloomington's charm to really start your day on the right foot.

Tranquil Normandale Lake Now that your energy level is up, it’s a great time to
go biking around Bloomington. Minnesota has long been known as a haven for
cyclists, and the Minnesota state trails system runs for miles. Here in
Bloomington, our paved, dirt trails and network of on-street bike lanes beckon
bikers looking for fun on two wheels. At Normandale Lake, you'll have a peaceful
ride around a small, picturesque body of water that is unencumbered by the
motorboats of larger lakes.

Nearby Normandale Lake, you can hit the water and rent a canoe, kayak, stand-up
paddle board or paddle boat at the Three Rivers Park watercraft rental shop.
Finish up with your workout with a swim at Hyland Lake!

After your day of outdoor fun, head back to your hotel to freshen up and then
enjoy a delicious meal at Lela, located within the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel
and known for their upscale atmosphere and fresh pasta.

Day 3
On your last day in Bloomington, take on some big attractions at Mall of America
to make those lasting memories! Enjoy breakfast at your hotel, then hop on a
motorized scooter to travel to Mall of America in style. First up is SEA LIFE®
at Mall of America, where you'll feel like you are diving deep into the ocean
with marine creatures of all kinds. Be wowed by the sharks and see your familiar
friends, the clownfish and the blue tang. The little ones will have fun too,
with hands-on learning in the Rockpool.

Enjoy some thrilling rides for an afternoon at Nickelodeon Universe®. The theme
park's 27 rides include Diego's Rescue Rider, Fairly Odd Coaster, and Swiper's
Sweeper, and visitors of all ages will find something to love here.

Finally, close out your last day with some night time fun at The Fair on 4, Mall
of America’s newest attraction. With go-karts, hammerschlagen, axe throwing and
tasty state fair-inspired foods and beverages, it will for sure be a place to
end your getaway with a bang.

With a 3-day adventure booked in Bloomington, Minnesota, we promise it will
always be a good time.
