Geocaching in Minnesota | Mall of America

Mall of America Geocaching

One of the things about geocaching that makes it so enjoyable of a hobby is that it can be done just about anywhere, and can make any trip more interesting. Not that it wouldn’t be an interesting trip in itself, even for those that do not enjoy shopping, but a trip to the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota is a good example. While there are plenty of things to do for people with carrying interests, there is a challenge waiting to be had for those that know about geocaching.

One of the most popular geocaches in Minnesota lays in wait for the geocacher willing to take on the challenge.  The Mall of America III Cache is located inside the mall, where the cacher has to use clues given by the cache owner to locate the container. There is no GPS needed, all you need to do is find an entrance to the mall and start searching. Rather than solving the clues to get final coordinates like one would do with a regular Puzzle cache or multi-cache, the cacher is searching for the unique store address on the mall directory map. The cache owner did a wonderful job of using the Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park as well as other parts of the Mall.

This geocache can be done solo or with a group, making it perfect to suit many situations. Do it while the family shops or plays in the theme park, travel as a pack, or split up to find the various clues.  However you do it, you will be happy that you made it a part of your trip to the Mall of America!

GO GET IT!
