Back when I was in high school (1978-1981), we used to hit the video arcades in malls a lot. Mainly at Ridgedale in my case. I think there was an Aladdin's Castle there or something similar.

As an adult, though, I'm not really a mall person. I lived about a mile away from the Mall of America for several years just after it opened, and I didn't even visit that mall very often. I'd usually only stop there to get something specific, or I'd go into the amusement park sometimes in the wintertime just so I could see some green.

To be truthful, there isn't a whole lot to do in the winter here...especially if you're like my wife and I and hate the cold. We spend quite alot of time in malls. The Mall of America is much more than a mall, it is more like an indoor entertainment center. Amusement park, aquarium, weekly events, minigolf, movie theater, bars and restaurants, etc. It isn't bouncing off the walls fun but it's something to do.
