| TPR Notes |
|
Nickelodeon is the most complete indoor amusement park. Many of its 25 rides can be enjoyed together by families, and although most of the rides are fairly new, some are quite rare and unique.
Being located in the Mall of America provides plenty of reasonably priced food options steps away from the rides. The location in the mall also allows families to take a break from the park, shop a little, and return without ever leaving the climate-controlled building. | |
