One of the things I miss the most about malls is when they decorated for Christmas and it was cold outside and people were rushing and pushing and fighting for the last Tickle-me Elmo. Dad's were honking and kids were crying and your hot chocolate was warm in your hands. All this chaos happening while Mariah Carey blared in the background.
MOA still decorates for christmas, actually! the macy's anchor store already has their trees up, and the rest of the mall usually gets decorated late october :-)
I’m not calling Lucas broke or anything I just appreciate how sometimes he’s like “that was expensive, so we didn’t do it”. 12:13 it’s refreshing and relatable because most content creators don’t know when to draw the line when it comes to money.
As a teenager in the early 2000's living on the east coast, it was absolutely my dream to go to the mall of America lol We didn't have much for shopping in my state 🤷♀️
I remember many years ago they had a booth at this travel expo in Norway (I’m Norwegian) to promote themselves as a tourist attraction and I was so confused 😂 I guess there’s somewhat of a link to Norway in Minnesota but still very random
They used to turn the lights off in the amusement park at night, using "street lamp" lights and Christmas style lights in the trees. It had a real "Disney at night" vibe. A kid I went to high school with shot someone at the mall in the1990s. Because of that, they decided not to turn the lights off for safety reasons. At least that is what I remember. I haven't been there in years. I heard it was super sketchy now.
@@laraerickson2926 its not sketchy. I worked there for quite a long time and the problems were super rare. Considering at all times it has as many people as a small city. more yearly visitors than Disney world... The amount of issues is actually super tiny comparatively. Probably because they have many many thousands of cameras being monitored by a huge team; in mall police department; and tons of very well trained security officers (most of which are military or police in training). They have drug and bomb sniffing dogs as well..
3:33: When the Mall of America opened, each of the 4 sides was very heavily themed: North Garden had lush greenery and floral displays alongside, East Broadway had urban-style storefronts and street-inspired decor, West Market was themed like a European marketplace, and South Avenue had an upscale shopping ambiance with a mix of contemporary and traditional designs. The architecture is still similar, but the details were all removed and all 4 sections were all painted white. Also Nickelodeon Universe was Camp Snoopy, not like the regional ones today, this one was actually built by the Knott's family before they sold Knott's Berry Farm 😢
I miss Camp Snoopy! The theming was so well-done, and the Mystery Mine ride was the best! It was never the same after they lost the rights to the Camp Snoopy brand.
@@EmbracingThePotato Agreed! It all looks so cheap and sterile now. All the trees and the river through the whole park were gorgeous, especially at night with the lanterns. It felt kind of mysterious in the best way imaginable. Loved that you could go there in the frigid winter and it still felt like summer camp. I didn't go to Knott's Berry Farm until last year, but I have a pass now and so much is the same, because it came first. So much nostalgia for a place I'd never been before because they did it so well in MN too. I'm glad they never touched the log ride, and even kept the Knott's syrup bottle.
I loved Camp Snoopy way better than NU as well. Snoopy was created in MN so it made sense for it to be there. I forgot all about each side having special themes when the mall first opened. I actually worked there for the first year or so. I was only about 18 - 19 so I guess I just didn't pay attention at that age. Usually when I go to MOA it is still very busy, especially during the summer and the holidays.
@@kathleenford1929 Thanks for sharing, I love that! I wish MN had more for Peanuts because Shulz created it in MN, but I guess he invested more as an adult into Santa Rosa and they named a lot after him and where his museum is. Now that I know Knott's Berry Farm and more of the history, it really was a spectacular confluence of events that led to the creation of MOA as it originally opened,. If anything was off my just a few years it never would have happened the way it did. I'm so glad I got to experience that original version, core memories for sure.
Literally lol. I go there at least twice a month. I genuinely forget that it’s a place people actually travel to from all over the country and even the world.
Building up the universe of lights to sound like an awesome Disney world fireworks show and then it’s just a couple of light beams you can’t see bc of all the fluorescent lights of the mall being on and one little smoke puff made me laugh so hard
Right😂 it’s like they took random things from Disney world and executed them so badly. “Nickelodeon Universe”, the light show, Dole Whip, even a ride like Soarin’ from Epcot😂
I have a feeling they used to when the mall was popular. why put in the effort for an empty mall thats dying? And also people are so sensitive about everything these days, someone probably complained about the lights being off lol
Nooo, the aquarium is so cool because the tank goes over the top of you! Like sharks and stuff swim over you. To be fair, I haven't been there in about 20 years, but it was cool when I was a kid.
Oh, man, the MOA is such a huge part of my childhood! I was about nine years old when it opened, and it was such a huge deal. It was the closest major mall to my house, so my family and friends I were there all the time. I can't believe how much things have changed (RIP Disney Store, American Girl, and the bowling alley), but I appreciate that some things are still hanging on. If they ever get rid of the Rainforest Cafe, I think there would be an uprising! I loved your tour of the Nick park! That place was in its heyday when it was Camp Snoopy. The theming was great, the rides were fun. The park never recovered its mojo after they lost the Camp Snoopy brand. It's only gotten sadder and more desperate-feeling as the years go by. I had never seen the "light show" before this video, and even I was unprepared for the "strobe lights flashing wanly for a few seconds followed by a fart of smoke" extravaganza! And somehow, it wasn't surprising XD
I was there on the opening day of MOA. I was twelve, it was 1992. It was packed with so many people that day it was hard to walk around. That mall has changed so so much over the decades. The ride area used to be called Knotts Camp Snoopy and it was like a northwoods camping theme look.
As an elder millennial, malls are nostalgic, malls were a hub for the community back in the 80’s-90’s. People may of had cell phones but we were not addicted like they are now, eye contact and small talk with strangers was common. As a teen it was exciting to go there with your friend group. Maybe you’d see your crush from school, get a best friends necklace from Clair’s, talk about life, go see a movie and get some popcorn. But it appears malls have become a shell of their former selves. I hope younger people have places to go and experience life together.
@@FlintGirl810 I am assuming for pain relief/mild sedative. Fentanyl can also be an option for childbirth. You probably you received a different sedative for yours. I think fentanyl is supposed to be safe and foster quicker recoveries. Fun fact, cocaine is also an anesthetic!
12:14 at mexican parties, when a child starts to get sleepy, parents push together chairs to create a bed so they don't have to leave and can party for the rest of the night so that restaurant did their research because that's an authentic mexican experience
Native Minnesotan here! I used to love MOA, but the last time I was there (12/31/21), I was almost trampled by people running away from a shooting that happened right above me. This video has inspired me to give it another chance- I HAVE to see the iconic Addison Rae Diet Pepsi decor for myself. Thanks, Lucas!
Malls originally started as a way to boost the income of downtown businesses by acting as miniature versions of city centers. The concept was simple-replicate the downtown experience in a single, convenient location, featuring smaller versions of popular businesses. At first, it worked well, providing a steady flow of foot traffic and promoting the downtown districts. However, when the economy took a downturn, sales and foot traffic in actual downtown areas started to decline. As the economy eventually improved, malls began to expand and attract more attention, pulling business away from downtown districts. Instead of helping to revitalize these areas, malls ended up overshadowing them, effectively draining customers and resources. Rather than serving as a living advertisement for the downtown experience, malls contributed to the slow demise of those very districts they were meant to support, transforming into stand-alone destinations that redefined urban shopping culture.
Today's retail landscape is shifting, but contrary to popular belief, malls themselves aren’t dying-it's traditional brick-and-mortar retail that's faltering, giving way to the rise of online shopping. Initially, small retailers bore the brunt of this shift, but many adapted by building a strong online presence or partnering with virtual marketplaces to stay afloat. Malls are now rethinking their roles and searching for the next big attraction. Many have started incorporating entertainment options like fun parks, mini golf courses, and go-kart tracks to keep foot traffic flowing. Even large retailers like Walmart are feeling the impact, as customers increasingly prefer shopping online for groceries and household items, leading to a decline in traffic to their massive stores. The future of retail is evolving, and malls are finding new ways to adapt to changing consumer preferences, blending entertainment with shopping to remain relevant in an increasingly digital world.
In my city in New Zealand the city centre is expanding with shopping streets and pedestrian areas. Even in my town they are currently building a huge development in the town centre that’s a whole outside pedestrian shopping area. So I feel like downtowns are really doing well here. Why are they doing so badly in America specifically? Because I feel like downtowns and malls are doing well in lots of countries. I hate online shopping, going to an actual store is always way better and all my friends would agree.
@@a-girl-and-her-catThe comment was deliberately misleading imo. There are some repeat vendors. Ragstock, Spencers, American Eagle, Bath and body works, and claires are ones that spring to mind. There is also Nordstrom and Macy’s that take up all 3 levels acting as one large location. But the repeat stores make up maybe about 30 stores at most? Which is nothing compared to the over 300 stores at the mall
Im from Minnesota and have lived here all my life. If i remember correctly, Both Mall of America and the Other big Mall are owned by the same people. In the 90's the theme park was called camp Snoopy that is true is because I went there as a kid.
I went to the Mall of America in 1999 when the amusement park was called Camp Snoopy. We visited family in the area and that was my first trip by plane. I don't hate the idea of malls becoming part experience and part shopping. Why not have the trampoline park, skating rink, ax throwing or arcade in a mall and also be able to get clothes in the same trip? This is a thing in my area and I think that's why malls are still busy here.
I went here for my sisters birthday, she passed away in march of this year. Thank you for the hilarious videos!! I remember we were in the trenches in this mall, my dad gaslighted me into thinking I wanted to eat at hooters. LMAO
As a lifelong Minnesotan, the MOA holds a lot of memories for me, especially when it was still Camp Snoopy instead of Nickelodeon Universe. I remember all my schoolmates and I being super bummed when that change happened.
12:47 a child was thrown off this same balcony back in 2017/2018 I remember I was working in forever 21 at the time where he landed in front of. Thankfully he lived and only had a few injuries. I hate this mall
@@swansonseven2851 he also threw the child over after he was rejected by a female he had asked out. Men rlly hate rejection so much, it’s a classified branch of murder called rejection killings sadly….
You hate this mall because of one, isolated incident many years ago that had nothing to do with the mall itself but a random psychopath with the intent to kill? The mall staff couldn’t have known what this dude was thinking or planning - they aren’t mind readers.
Oh man, as a Minnesotan that grew up in St Paul, this mall was SOOO special back in the day. I had my 5th birthday party at Camp Snoopy. In high school I’d take 2 buses to go there with the $20 my dad gave me 😂 saw Ashlee Simpson perform there when she was first starting out. My first date was there, I believe we saw The Grudge 2 😂 As much as I avoid that place like the plague now, it holds MANY amazing memories. But the magic is long gone especially since the remodel and getting rid of Camp Snoopy.
Yay I love your relationship with lil bro ! My little sister also has a speech impediment but over time grew to embrace it by saying it’s her own cool accent! can’t wait to bring her cool places like this when I get a little more successful. Thanks for sharing such fun loving content 🥹
Mall of America gives me so much anxiety and I really don’t think Minnesotans actually love it that much. Forgive me if I’m wrong but rainforest Café is iconic
I’ve honestly only had bad experience at Mall of America. I live in Minnesota I went there on my birthday. I strained my neck on a ride 😭 I literally had to go to the ER the next morning because I was in that much pain
I worked at rainforest cafe in 1998 as a waiter and we had to approach every table with “hi my name is …. Are you ready for a wild adventure?” lol Also, funny how you had a cheetahRita? Because it used to be called the margorilla!❤❤
The fact that this mall once had themed areas that are now just plain white walls astounds me. I considered visiting this mall but now I’m thinking probably not. Ambience is everything to me. If I want to be in a mall that looks boring and institutional I’ll visit my local mall.
@@V1per1Real Fred is a character that hasn’t existed in years he did not milk it like Miranda sings. He is person he was at the mall as himself, Lucas. If he was there in Fred cosplay acting like Fred then maybe Fred would’ve been there.
@@V1per1Real “lives in him” he was Fred just say you like to reduce ppl to their roles. You seem like the kind of person who wouldn’t greet a celebrities by their real name out here calling them by characters 😝 omg look it’s Harry Potter and hermoine. There’s Jessica day and nick miller yall it’s Rachel from friends 🤪
The fact malls are dying in America has always really confused me because all the malls in my city in New Zealand are always packed and I absolutely love going to the mall. When I was in high school me and my friends would take the bus into the city then spend the day messing around at the mall, we could eat whatever we wanted from the food court, so fun. Being able to just park and then walk around is so much easier than driving to a bunch of different stores. I can also vouch that Japan has great malls too. There’s something about just getting lost in a huge mall and finding all these interesting stores you didn’t know existed.
americans are lazy. And the mall owners are especially so I guess. I noticed before malls were really dead, I called it as a 10 year old that the mall was gonna die because they had put WAY too many baby stores in the mall. And i was right, that mall is legit DEAD. Only the theater is open now. And its been kind of similar problem since then. Where they put stores people are not going to into, in the mall. where they have too many similar stores. Like they dont know how to look for businesses that people actually want, that is missing. For example, our mall currently, they FINALLY opened up a makeup store. It wasnt even a full sephora store, and was combined with JCPenny. But it did AMAZING. So what happens next...they open up 2 more makeup stores, and then suddenly target sells some of the same stuff (thats connected to the mall). and usually Mac brand is in Ulta stores, but they opened an ulta and then a mac store right next door...like why?? we dont need that many makeup stores! Mac obviously didnt survive and is gone now, and so is sephora. They realized there was too much competition to keep them all open, but werent smart enough to open up similar themes, but not carbon copies; like a lush or something.. And then Opened up a doggy daycare center??? Which I've only ever seen ONE dog inside. EVER. People dont even bring their dogs in the mall unless its for santa photos at xmas time. and even thats rare.. And then make the Rent too high so businesses dont want to risk trying to open in the mall. but then dont do anything with the empty stores. which seems like bad business tactics. You fill the space to make money and pay the bills Am I wrong? lol. They say its just online shopping killed malls. I'd also say bad businessman are a huge problem too. If you dont fill the mall with places people would actually want to go to, then why would they go over ordering online? It sounds like other countries where malls are still hot, they actually fill the malls with places people actually want to go to
Oh, there is plenty of tackiness at MOA. Just two years ago a teenager was killed in a fight there and in 2019 a man randomly threw a 5 year old boy over a balcony from the third floor who thankfully survived. All kinds of insanity there tbh
I love when people come to the mall just to find out that yep....just a mall. I didn't even know it had half of the things you talked about and I've WORKED there
The fact that there’s a hotel connected tells how popular that place used to be. It’s sad and scary how drastically things can change, but really cool to see.
It was a magical place in the ‘90s. Today, it’s more exciting going to IKEA and skipping MOA altogether. I wish I could time travel for one day and play at Starbase Omega, eat at Planet Hollywood, buy some collectibles at the Disney Store and Warner Bros. Studio Store, and then ride the Pepsi Ripsaw at night over the trees and log cabin structures of Camp Snoopy. Heck, I’d even love to visit 4 floors of Sears again!!
Mall of America used to be much more of an attraction (20 years ago when malls were more popular). I remember hearing it was the number one foreign tourist attraction for people in Japan back then. It used to be crazy busy with people. Now it's just an ever-so-slightly occupied mall.
I was just sitting here in shock while watching your channel for the first time, when the realization dawned on me. I called my daughter over and asked her “is this Fred?”, she said I’m pretty sure it is, then looked it up. She’s 18 and I’m 54 and we used to watch Fred together all the time, it was our favorite show! We still talk about it, not every day I’m not a weirdo, but it does come up in conversation. I had wondered what you went on to do, you were and are still amazing!!! I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel.
i feel embarrassingly slow bc i watched one of you and your brother's travel vlogs a couple months ago but only now connected the dots that you are the icon formerly known as Fred 😂 i feel like it says something great about you that i found you endearing and hilarious at two different times in my life, without any bias bc i didn't even recognize you at first this time around! ❤
Fun fact: when the mall first opened they had for “anchor stores” on each corner that were three stories tall, which were macys, nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and sears. Because malls were so popular when moa opened, these anchor stores signed contracts that were pretty close to lifetime warranty. In the case of sears, that’s exactly what they did, and that’s why the space mentioned at 8:25 is closed. Sears has a lifetime contract, so they still own the space and no other stores can rent there. That’s also why sears still has their name on the side of moa
When I was in 5th grade, we went on a field trip to Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America. I’m not kidding when I say every single gift shop that sold those squid hats was full of kids. You couldn’t walk into one of those stores and actually be able to walk around in it.
Minnesotan here!! We sure love our MOA! In 8th grade, 1998, my friend Amanda and I saw the band 98° perform at MOA!! We rode the Pepsi rollercoaster after screaming out, “we love you, Nick Lachey!!!” As if he even heard us 🤣😂😂 Ghost Blasters is the best ride!! The log chute with Babe the Big Blue Ox and Paul Bunyan mascots is a must to ride!! We’re very lucky to have MOA in MN! I haven’t been there in months, but they have Dole Whip now??? That’s awesome! Also, in the 90’s early 2000’s Nickelodeon Universe was Knott’s Camp Snoopy!! SO much fun! OnionHead’s Revenge during October at MOA is a ton of fun too!!
11:44 1) why did every mall have one? 2) why was there always a family torturing their children in it? 3) why do children yearn for tornado conditions?
It's okay if you've been there and aren't surprised by the amusment park. I've never been there but I know everyone know's there's an amusment park. Since I've never been there, I appreciate your walkthriugh with your amazing personalities. I love your videos! As far as the question goes for "What is a mall?" Now that you've asked me that, and said there were waterparks and such at a mall, I don't even know anymore. I thought it was a connected unit of a variety of stores for shopping, but maybe, just maybe, the unit space is for any business for soliciting purposes, so therefore, in theory, the waterpark may just count as part of the mall.
i live in new jersey and my best friend works at the apple store at the american dream mall, she says the mall is always dead. nobody ever really comes in there thats why i havent even stepped foot into that mall. all of our tax money went into that mall for literally no reason. its right next to the met life stadium but even then nobody cares enough to step foot into the mall
I live in NYC, & I've been to the NJ American Dream mall multiple times. It feels like a creepy pasta liminal space. It's always desolate unless there's something going on at the stadium next door. The parking lot is a nightmare - so difficult to navigate.
Not so fun fact, I get why Lucas was scared of the railing because a child was actually thrown off the 3rd story. It was a huge story for the midwest. He survived luckily!
I live in Minneapolis and one of my favorite cold weather activity is going to the mall just to walk around. I don’t even buy things a lot of the time. Just people watching and window shopping it’s great.
Ah the Mall of America. I was there in November for my stepcousins' wedding and I always remember a worker asking where my mom and i came from because we are Asian. They thought we were from some exotic country. And my mom said "Oh Canada." And they said "Oh...." We could see their disappointment. LOL 😂
LOL I went to a wink world last week in Vegas and passed out in the breathing ball room, all I could think before passing out was how humiliating it would be to die in that thing
FYI, the American dream mall in New Jersey is owned by the same people who own the Mall of America here in Minnesota Heck, that same company also owns the west Edmonton mall in Canada. So don’t worry, all those malls are under the same umbrella.
You guys are hilarious omg… this video had me flashing back to being a little kid. I grew up in Minneapolis and my dad would take me to Mall of America like every other weekend. I spent most of my time there in the theme park (they called it Camp Snoopy back then)… I went back to MoA last year with my husband, and it was a very different experience. Not in a bad way, just… different. We (also) went to Margaritaville and then Rainforest Cafe right before our flight back home (the mall is crazy close to the airport). For the record, I also think Maragritaville and Rainforest Cafe’s drinks are basically the same. 😂 This was entertaining. Keep vlogging at random malls plz
Nooo mirror mazes should be OUTLAWED. I literally entered a state of intense disassociation for like a year after I went into a mirror maze, and had a panic attack within the maze when I got lost. I was like 8 at the time and was life altered by the experience LMAO 🤣🤣
@@choosehappy9224 So don't spend time with gun nuts. I've lived here since 1998 and never had a problem with that, because I'm smart enough to avoid them.
As a local my family went there opening day. There used to ne a gaming store there, bought the original BG expansion, max Payne 1, Elder Scrolls Daggerfall with the 3 inch strategy guide, X Wing B wing x pack and have had many dates there.

As a Minnesotan the fact I could've met Lucas (the biggest Nickelodeon star ever) and his brother (famous TH-camr) if I went to the mall that day is wild.
This is my local mall I grew up going to, I even worked as a character performer here for a time, and when I was a kid I thought every state had their own Mall of America bahaha like I didn’t realize not every mall was like our mall it seemed so normal to me 😂
One of the things I miss the most about malls is when they decorated for Christmas and it was cold outside and people were rushing and pushing and fighting for the last Tickle-me Elmo.

Nooo, the aquarium is so cool because the tank goes over the top of you! Like sharks and stuff swim over you. To be fair, I haven't been there in about 20 years, but it was cool when I was a kid.
yess its cool but scary af lowkey lol
It costs like $800 now lol.
I’ve been exclusively watching Lucas and Jacob on TH-cam for the past month lol
Me too😭
me too and it the most random thing i’ve started watching but i genuinely enjoy watching them lol
that's so real of you
Oh, man, the MOA is such a huge part of my childhood! I was about nine years old when it opened, and it was such a huge deal. It was the closest major mall to my house, so my family and friends I were there all the time. I can't believe how much things have changed (RIP Disney Store, American Girl, and the bowling alley), but I appreciate that some things are still hanging on. If they ever get rid of the Rainforest Cafe, I think there would be an uprising! I loved your tour of the Nick park! That place was in its heyday when it was Camp Snoopy. The theming was great, the rides were fun. The park never recovered its mojo after they lost the Camp Snoopy brand. It's only gotten sadder and more desperate-feeling as the years go by. I had never seen the "light show" before this video, and even I was unprepared for the "strobe lights flashing wanly for a few seconds followed by a fart of smoke" extravaganza! And somehow, it wasn't surprising XD
I was there on the opening day of MOA. I was twelve, it was 1992. It was packed with so many people that day it was hard to walk around.
That mall has changed so so much over the decades. The ride area used to be called Knotts Camp Snoopy and it was like a northwoods camping theme look.
I was really hoping that you guys would run into the Queen Spinner of Shell Shock while you were there! She is truly an icon
Jacob’s little cry after leaving the mall at the end made the whole video worth it for me. He’s so funny 🤣
As an elder millennial, malls are nostalgic, malls were a hub for the community back in the 80’s-90’s. People may of had cell phones but we were not addicted like they are now, eye contact and small talk with strangers was common. As a teen it was exciting to go there with your friend group. Maybe you’d see your crush from school, get a best friends necklace from Clair’s, talk about life, go see a movie and get some popcorn. But it appears malls have become a shell of their former selves. I hope younger people have places to go and experience life together.
I’m from Minnesota this mall gets old after a while but love the food options
same it's literally just a mall
I feel the same way (also from Minnesota)
It was and always will be Camp Snoopy
Yeah, lots of stores but kinda weak selection, never really find anything I want to buy tbh
Hate going to MoA
You and Jacob are helping me recover from my colonoscopy. I’m wacked out on Fentanyl and your channels are just what me and my sore bum need.
@likethepear 🧑⚕️ I'm asking with peace and love but why did they give you FENT for a colonoscopy!? I've had many and never gotten THAT! 😬
Why the heck did they give you that???
I hope you recover well though. I just had one and the prep was brutal
@@neverlandnightslol they use fentanyl all the time on hundreds of ppl a day it's a pain medication. It's not like how it is on the streets
@@FlintGirl810 I am assuming for pain relief/mild sedative. Fentanyl can also be an option for childbirth. You probably you received a different sedative for yours. I think fentanyl is supposed to be safe and foster quicker recoveries.
Fun fact, cocaine is also an anesthetic!
Yikes they put a scope in your ass😭😭
You forgot about Twiggy the skiing squirrel graced that stage. Show respect. 🐿️
Jacob thinking Vanessa Hudgens founded Victoria's Secret is the most hilarious, out-of-pocket thing 😂
Minnesotans in the chat being like “yeah that’s the mall”
Lol Minnesotan here, born and raised. I quite enjoyed your video on the mall. I do agree, once you get there it's just "Meh"
Hey its Fred
I live in the twin cities, I miss when MOA had Camp Snoopy. I spent too much time there as a kid.
@Anastasia-ahhh Oh I kiss Camp Snoopy too! I believe the Rollercoaster still has part of the old amusement park still inside of their tunnel.
You don’t sound very Minnesotan
We called it the Fall Of America, because of fights/ other trouble
12:14
at mexican parties, when a child starts to get sleepy, parents push together chairs to create a bed so they don't have to leave and can party for the rest of the night so that restaurant did their research because that's an authentic mexican experience
Native Minnesotan here! I used to love MOA, but the last time I was there (12/31/21), I was almost trampled by people running away from a shooting that happened right above me. This video has inspired me to give it another chance- I HAVE to see the iconic Addison Rae Diet Pepsi decor for myself. Thanks, Lucas!
Nope ' no thanks
That sounds really scary. But I hope you are ok and are able to overcome your fear. ❤
The Fall of America, and Camp Shoot me
Malls originally started as a way to boost the income of downtown businesses by acting as miniature versions of city centers. The concept was simple-replicate the downtown experience in a single, convenient location, featuring smaller versions of popular businesses. At first, it worked well, providing a steady flow of foot traffic and promoting the downtown districts.
However, when the economy took a downturn, sales and foot traffic in actual downtown areas started to decline. As the economy eventually improved, malls began to expand and attract more attention, pulling business away from downtown districts. Instead of helping to revitalize these areas, malls ended up overshadowing them, effectively draining customers and resources.
Rather than serving as a living advertisement for the downtown experience, malls contributed to the slow demise of those very districts they were meant to support, transforming into stand-alone destinations that redefined urban shopping culture.
Today's retail landscape is shifting, but contrary to popular belief, malls themselves aren’t dying-it's traditional brick-and-mortar retail that's faltering, giving way to the rise of online shopping. Initially, small retailers bore the brunt of this shift, but many adapted by building a strong online presence or partnering with virtual marketplaces to stay afloat.
Malls are now rethinking their roles and searching for the next big attraction. Many have started incorporating entertainment options like fun parks, mini golf courses, and go-kart tracks to keep foot traffic flowing. Even large retailers like Walmart are feeling the impact, as customers increasingly prefer shopping online for groceries and household items, leading to a decline in traffic to their massive stores.
The future of retail is evolving, and malls are finding new ways to adapt to changing consumer preferences, blending entertainment with shopping to remain relevant in an increasingly digital world.
This is fascinating stuff bro
In my city in New Zealand the city centre is expanding with shopping streets and pedestrian areas. Even in my town they are currently building a huge development in the town centre that’s a whole outside pedestrian shopping area. So I feel like downtowns are really doing well here. Why are they doing so badly in America specifically? Because I feel like downtowns and malls are doing well in lots of countries. I hate online shopping, going to an actual store is always way better and all my friends would agree.
Once you realize the Mall of America is essentially just the same mall twice, it's kinda lame haha
For real! It has the exact same brands on all 4 levels!
omg that is lame AF. @@4forevergirl4
Yep there’s a good amount of duplicate stores and vendors. Never really understood why
Oh, weird! Are there different items in different stores, or different departments of the same brand at least?
@@a-girl-and-her-catThe comment was deliberately misleading imo. There are some repeat vendors. Ragstock, Spencers, American Eagle, Bath and body works, and claires are ones that spring to mind. There is also Nordstrom and Macy’s that take up all 3 levels acting as one large location. But the repeat stores make up maybe about 30 stores at most? Which is nothing compared to the over 300 stores at the mall
Im from Minnesota and have lived here all my life. If i remember correctly, Both Mall of America and the Other big Mall are owned by the same people. In the 90's the theme park was called camp Snoopy that is true is because I went there as a kid.
It was better when it was Camp Snoopy
@@mollygrabau Yes 100%
I went to the Mall of America in 1999 when the amusement park was called Camp Snoopy. We visited family in the area and that was my first trip by plane.
I don't hate the idea of malls becoming part experience and part shopping. Why not have the trampoline park, skating rink, ax throwing or arcade in a mall and also be able to get clothes in the same trip? This is a thing in my area and I think that's why malls are still busy here.
There are a lot of arcade and arcade-like attractions on the upper floors, they also have a small ice rink during the winter (where the star is).
yall are my comfort youtubers
Jacob’s solitary scream echoing in the mall while riding the roller coaster by himself 😂
i died 😂
I went here for my sisters birthday, she passed away in march of this year. Thank you for the hilarious videos!! I remember we were in the trenches in this mall, my dad gaslighted me into thinking I wanted to eat at hooters. LMAO
Sorry for your loss.
Gaslighting you into hooters is a dad cannon event 😭😭
as a minnesotan i was so excited to watch this lol
As a lifelong Minnesotan, the MOA holds a lot of memories for me, especially when it was still Camp Snoopy instead of Nickelodeon Universe. I remember all my schoolmates and I being super bummed when that change happened.
12:47 a child was thrown off this same balcony back in 2017/2018 I remember I was working in forever 21 at the time where he landed in front of. Thankfully he lived and only had a few injuries. I hate this mall
Who threw him?!!
I remember that!
@@shannonceleste5557a man went into the mall that day with the intent on ending someone’s life. Sick. I hate this mall too
@@swansonseven2851 he also threw the child over after he was rejected by a female he had asked out.
Men rlly hate rejection so much, it’s a classified branch of murder called rejection killings sadly….
You hate this mall because of one, isolated incident many years ago that had nothing to do with the mall itself but a random psychopath with the intent to kill? The mall staff couldn’t have known what this dude was thinking or planning - they aren’t mind readers.
The fact that I’ve worked here for 4 years and Fred is reviewing it is everything to me 😂
(At the hooters 😂)
Oh man, as a Minnesotan that grew up in St Paul, this mall was SOOO special back in the day. I had my 5th birthday party at Camp Snoopy. In high school I’d take 2 buses to go there with the $20 my dad gave me 😂 saw Ashlee Simpson perform there when she was first starting out. My first date was there, I believe we saw The Grudge 2 😂 As much as I avoid that place like the plague now, it holds MANY amazing memories. But the magic is long gone especially since the remodel and getting rid of Camp Snoopy.
Yay I love your relationship with lil bro ! My little sister also has a speech impediment but over time grew to embrace it by saying it’s her own cool accent! can’t wait to bring her cool places like this when I get a little more successful. Thanks for sharing such fun loving content 🥹
Mall of America gives me so much anxiety and I really don’t think Minnesotans actually love it that much. Forgive me if I’m wrong but rainforest Café is iconic
I’ve honestly only had bad experience at Mall of America. I live in Minnesota I went there on my birthday. I strained my neck on a ride 😭 I literally had to go to the ER the next morning because I was in that much pain
@@SidDeznuzwas it the fairly odd parents ride?? i get whiplash every time
I worked at rainforest cafe in 1998 as a waiter and we had to approach every table with “hi my name is …. Are you ready for a wild adventure?” lol
Also, funny how you had a cheetahRita? Because it used to be called the margorilla!❤❤
It's the only mall that can retain iconic landmarks.like rainforest and incorporate new stuff all the time. I can't wait to try rock climbing.
The fact that this mall once had themed areas that are now just plain white walls astounds me. I considered visiting this mall but now I’m thinking probably not. Ambience is everything to me. If I want to be in a mall that looks boring and institutional I’ll visit my local mall.
you mean to tell me Fred was at mall of America and I WASNT THERE TO WITNESS THIS HISTORIC MOMENT IN HISTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fred wasn’t but Lucas and Jacob were
@@Mperris isn't lucas fred tho?
@@V1per1Real Fred is a character that hasn’t existed in years he did not milk it like Miranda sings. He is person he was at the mall as himself, Lucas. If he was there in Fred cosplay acting like Fred then maybe Fred would’ve been there.
@@Mperris ik but lucas is still fred fred lives in him
@@V1per1Real “lives in him” he was Fred just say you like to reduce ppl to their roles. You seem like the kind of person who wouldn’t greet a celebrities by their real name out here calling them by characters 😝 omg look it’s Harry Potter and hermoine. There’s Jessica day and nick miller yall it’s Rachel from friends 🤪
The fact malls are dying in America has always really confused me because all the malls in my city in New Zealand are always packed and I absolutely love going to the mall. When I was in high school me and my friends would take the bus into the city then spend the day messing around at the mall, we could eat whatever we wanted from the food court, so fun. Being able to just park and then walk around is so much easier than driving to a bunch of different stores. I can also vouch that Japan has great malls too. There’s something about just getting lost in a huge mall and finding all these interesting stores you didn’t know existed.
americans are lazy. And the mall owners are especially so I guess. I noticed before malls were really dead, I called it as a 10 year old that the mall was gonna die because they had put WAY too many baby stores in the mall. And i was right, that mall is legit DEAD. Only the theater is open now. And its been kind of similar problem since then. Where they put stores people are not going to into, in the mall. where they have too many similar stores. Like they dont know how to look for businesses that people actually want, that is missing. For example, our mall currently, they FINALLY opened up a makeup store. It wasnt even a full sephora store, and was combined with JCPenny. But it did AMAZING. So what happens next...they open up 2 more makeup stores, and then suddenly target sells some of the same stuff (thats connected to the mall). and usually Mac brand is in Ulta stores, but they opened an ulta and then a mac store right next door...like why?? we dont need that many makeup stores! Mac obviously didnt survive and is gone now, and so is sephora. They realized there was too much competition to keep them all open, but werent smart enough to open up similar themes, but not carbon copies; like a lush or something.. And then Opened up a doggy daycare center??? Which I've only ever seen ONE dog inside. EVER. People dont even bring their dogs in the mall unless its for santa photos at xmas time. and even thats rare.. And then make the Rent too high so businesses dont want to risk trying to open in the mall. but then dont do anything with the empty stores. which seems like bad business tactics. You fill the space to make money and pay the bills Am I wrong? lol. They say its just online shopping killed malls. I'd also say bad businessman are a huge problem too. If you dont fill the mall with places people would actually want to go to, then why would they go over ordering online? It sounds like other countries where malls are still hot, they actually fill the malls with places people actually want to go to
I don’t think people in New Zealand get shot in malls as often as Americans do is probably part of it.
As a Florida person, I think this mall lacks tackiness, is not giving America.
Oh, there is plenty of tackiness at MOA. Just two years ago a teenager was killed in a fight there and in 2019 a man randomly threw a 5 year old boy over a balcony from the third floor who thankfully survived. All kinds of insanity there tbh
@@brockhampton3078ya tell them the kind of people who did this ! It's exactly why people stop going to that nasty place
I love when people come to the mall just to find out that yep....just a mall. I didn't even know it had half of the things you talked about and I've WORKED there
The fact that there’s a hotel connected tells how popular that place used to be.
It’s sad and scary how drastically things can change, but really cool to see.
"I think ppl just move on" 😂😂😂 sick burn! Lol
It was a magical place in the ‘90s. Today, it’s more exciting going to IKEA and skipping MOA altogether. I wish I could time travel for one day and play at Starbase Omega, eat at Planet Hollywood, buy some collectibles at the Disney Store and Warner Bros. Studio Store, and then ride the Pepsi Ripsaw at night over the trees and log cabin structures of Camp Snoopy. Heck, I’d even love to visit 4 floors of Sears again!!
Mall of America used to be much more of an attraction (20 years ago when malls were more popular). I remember hearing it was the number one foreign tourist attraction for people in Japan back then. It used to be crazy busy with people. Now it's just an ever-so-slightly occupied mall.
6:32 Omg fred cameo
I was just sitting here in shock while watching your channel for the first time, when the realization dawned on me. I called my daughter over and asked her “is this Fred?”, she said I’m pretty sure it is, then looked it up. She’s 18 and I’m 54 and we used to watch Fred together all the time, it was our favorite show! We still talk about it, not every day I’m not a weirdo, but it does come up in conversation. I had wondered what you went on to do, you were and are still amazing!!! I’m so glad I stumbled across your channel.
i feel embarrassingly slow bc i watched one of you and your brother's travel vlogs a couple months ago but only now connected the dots that you are the icon formerly known as Fred 😂
i feel like it says something great about you that i found you endearing and hilarious at two different times in my life, without any bias bc i didn't even recognize you at first this time around! ❤
Fun fact: when the mall first opened they had for “anchor stores” on each corner that were three stories tall, which were macys, nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and sears. Because malls were so popular when moa opened, these anchor stores signed contracts that were pretty close to lifetime warranty. In the case of sears, that’s exactly what they did, and that’s why the space mentioned at 8:25 is closed. Sears has a lifetime contract, so they still own the space and no other stores can rent there. That’s also why sears still has their name on the side of moa
A mall is a place where easily accessible theft happens and the authority figures there can only politely ask you to stay while cops come.
When I was in 5th grade, we went on a field trip to Nickelodeon Universe in the Mall of America. I’m not kidding when I say every single gift shop that sold those squid hats was full of kids. You couldn’t walk into one of those stores and actually be able to walk around in it.
My high school prom was at the MOA and we got to go on all the rides for free after they closed to the public. Core memory
Minnesotan here!! We sure love our MOA! In 8th grade, 1998, my friend Amanda and I saw the band 98° perform at MOA!! We rode the Pepsi rollercoaster after screaming out, “we love you, Nick Lachey!!!” As if he even heard us 🤣😂😂 Ghost Blasters is the best ride!! The log chute with Babe the Big Blue Ox and Paul Bunyan mascots is a must to ride!! We’re very lucky to have MOA in MN! I haven’t been there in months, but they have Dole Whip now??? That’s awesome! Also, in the 90’s early 2000’s Nickelodeon Universe was Knott’s Camp Snoopy!! SO much fun! OnionHead’s Revenge during October at MOA is a ton of fun too!!
if you streamed this on twitch for 24 hours i'd watch every single minute lmaooo
Real 90s kids remember when the theme park was Camp Snoopy! The creator of the peanuts was from Saint Paul, not too far from there.
Mall of America is right next to the airport. That’s why you see so many airplanes.
after i went in the mirror maze i couldn’t look in a mirror for like 3 months because i felt dizzy and my heart would race i feel you😭
11:44 1) why did every mall have one? 2) why was there always a family torturing their children in it? 3) why do children yearn for tornado conditions?
Loving that you didn't go on the roller coaster with Jacob. Like god forbid! Lolll
It's okay if you've been there and aren't surprised by the amusment park. I've never been there but I know everyone know's there's an amusment park. Since I've never been there, I appreciate your walkthriugh with your amazing personalities. I love your videos!
As far as the question goes for "What is a mall?" Now that you've asked me that, and said there were waterparks and such at a mall, I don't even know anymore. I thought it was a connected unit of a variety of stores for shopping, but maybe, just maybe, the unit space is for any business for soliciting purposes, so therefore, in theory, the waterpark may just count as part of the mall.
Omg but Fred being at the nick park is cool
If yall haven’t, you NEED to watch the Bro Show podcast
i live in new jersey and my best friend works at the apple store at the american dream mall, she says the mall is always dead. nobody ever really comes in there thats why i havent even stepped foot into that mall. all of our tax money went into that mall for literally no reason. its right next to the met life stadium but even then nobody cares enough to step foot into the mall
I live in NYC, & I've been to the NJ American Dream mall multiple times. It feels like a creepy pasta liminal space. It's always desolate unless there's something going on at the stadium next door. The parking lot is a nightmare - so difficult to navigate.
@@becca2742 ugh i went to the parking lot once to pick up my friend the one who works there and holy i almost crashed dont even get me started
Not so fun fact, I get why Lucas was scared of the railing because a child was actually thrown off the 3rd story. It was a huge story for the midwest. He survived luckily!
I live in Minneapolis and one of my favorite cold weather activity is going to the mall just to walk around. I don’t even buy things a lot of the time. Just people watching and window shopping it’s great.
0:18 Jacob why would you say that 😂😂😂😂
The fact that you didn't experience a thunderstorm while you were in the rainforest cafe is criminal!
Ah the Mall of America. I was there in November for my stepcousins' wedding and I always remember a worker asking where my mom and i came from because we are Asian. They thought we were from some exotic country. And my mom said "Oh Canada." And they said "Oh...." We could see their disappointment. LOL 😂
i get overstimulated being in the mall for an hour, idk how you did it for 24.
LOL I went to a wink world last week in Vegas and passed out in the breathing ball room, all I could think before passing out was how humiliating it would be to die in that thing
FYI, the American dream mall in New Jersey is owned by the same people who own the Mall of America here in Minnesota
Heck, that same company also owns the west Edmonton mall in Canada. So don’t worry, all those malls are under the same umbrella.
5:50 JACOB's FACE IS EPIC
I need more videos from you bc one a week or wtv you are giving us is not enough 👏
YESSSS ^^ WHAAA THEYYY SAIDDD
literally so hyped rn i’m from mn 🥳
"how come no one's recognized i'm from nickelodeon yet" "i think people just move on, you know" 💀💀💀
You said mall so many times, I developed semantic satiation for the word😩
You guys are hilarious omg… this video had me flashing back to being a little kid. I grew up in Minneapolis and my dad would take me to Mall of America like every other weekend. I spent most of my time there in the theme park (they called it Camp Snoopy back then)…
I went back to MoA last year with my husband, and it was a very different experience. Not in a bad way, just… different. We (also) went to Margaritaville and then Rainforest Cafe right before our flight back home (the mall is crazy close to the airport). For the record, I also think Maragritaville and Rainforest Cafe’s drinks are basically the same. 😂
This was entertaining. Keep vlogging at random malls plz
8:23 this was a kids toystore ! it VERY very recently moved out (maybe a fortnight ago?) which is why it looks so rough lol
Nooo mirror mazes should be OUTLAWED. I literally entered a state of intense disassociation for like a year after I went into a mirror maze, and had a panic attack within the maze when I got lost. I was like 8 at the time and was life altered by the experience LMAO 🤣🤣
You're here again! You should "investigate" Minneapolis sometime. We have way more cool stuff than the burbs.

''SOME SOCCER PLAYER HAS THE LAST NAME MESSI'' -JACOB 2024
a moment in history.
As a local my family went there opening day. There used to ne a gaming store there, bought the original BG expansion, max Payne 1, Elder Scrolls Daggerfall with the 3 inch strategy guide, X Wing B wing x pack and have had many dates there.
Max Payne is so good
lucas, i just need 2 say that i deadass grew up watching fred and i love it so much, i was tuned in for the movies. i have NOT moved on, u r ICONIC & i STAN u !!!!!!!!
7:14 Obsessed with this frozen American gaze
As a Minnesotan the fact I could've met Lucas (the biggest Nickelodeon star ever) and his brother (famous TH-camr) if I went to the mall that day is wild.
i was just at this mall and a shoe vendor disrespected my crusty skate shoes and it was rly embarassing
😂
I am so disappointed in you guys. Not going into an aquarium when given the opportunity is vile.
Yay! I die for a travel vlogger/reviewer Lucas 😄
“I don’t fN work here Susan!” Lmaoo Jacob is me 😂😂😂😂💀
This is my local mall I grew up going to, I even worked as a character performer here for a time, and when I was a kid I thought every state had their own Mall of America bahaha like I didn’t realize not every mall was like our mall it seemed so normal to me 😂
I grew up in Bloomington when the mall opened. It was a big deal back then. Nowadays I avoid it at all costs
The Victoria secret part😭🤣
As someone who used to work on the fourth floor, I can confirm that it’s the best floor in the entire mall
Welcome to Minnesota!!! ❤
14:05 “I don’t F’n work here Susan!” Lmao!! Yall are entertaining!! Love your videos! 😊
