Bloomington, Minnesota | Simply Central

Bloomington, Minnesota is located adjacent to Minneapolis and Saint Paul and just minutes from MSP International Airport, is the home of Mall of America, and is a premier destination for meetings, conventions, and tourism. As the fifth largest city in Minnesota, with a myriad of shopping, entertainment and recreation opportunities, some refer to Bloomington as the Third Twin City. Indeed, with 45 hotels offering over 9,000 guest rooms, more than downtown Minneapolis and Saint Paul combined, it’s also referred to as the hospitality capitol of Minnesota. Bloomington also features meeting space to accommodate groups of 10 to 2,000. An important characteristic of most Bloomington hotels is the free parking and free shuttles to Mall of America and the airport. Bloomington hosts more than 40 million travelers annually from near and far who are making their shopping pilgrimage to the United States’ largest retail and entertainment center. In addition to the Mall’s 520+ retail shops, visitors can enjoy one of the over 50 restaurants, SEA LIFE at Mall of America, FlyOver America, or America’s largest indoor theme park, Nickelodeon Universe®.
