I grew up in Bloomington and have lived there for most of my life. It was a wonderful town to grow up in. It's very centrally located- with the airport, Mall of America, and many different delicious restaurants. It is very easy to go between towns. There are many restaurants for lunch/ dinner, drinks, coffee shops, supermarkets, co-ops, etc. The Bloomington farmers market is one of my favorite spots! There are also many activities around Bloomington. There are tons of parks where they host events (4th of July fireworks, neighborhood picnics). Bush Lake beach is always fun. They show movies at parks around the neighborhood. There are art museums and theatres nearby. All in all, a very lovely place to live.
Bloomington is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. You are close to everything like Mall of America, airport, hotels/accommodations, fitness clubs, restaurants, etc. Lots of things to do like shopping at mall of America, sea life, museum's, close to downtown (concerts, bars/restaurants, clubs, events, etc.). And lots of job opportunities available!
Bloomington is a good city to live or visit in Minnesota. I preferable like a place that's not too populated, but not too rural either, so Bloomington is the perfect place to live or visit. It has many activities you can visit around the city. For example, if you like shopping, the Mall of America is one of the places you can visit. It's is one of the biggest malls in the United States, so you have many stores to visit around, including an indoor amusement park. We also have an airport near the mall, so it's quite convenient. Also, there is Hyland Park, where you can go fishing, walking, picnic, or canoeing. It's the perfect place for outdoor people. In addition, the city is well diverse, with no racial discrimination. I have volunteered in many places in Bloomington, like Arc Value Village. I'm one of the minorities living in Bloomington, and no one has ever treated me differently compared to other volunteers. Overall, Bloomington is a very good city to visit and live in.
