360 Degree Panoramas: Mall of America

Big Eye In The Sky Interactive Fullscreen VR 360 Degree Aerial Panoramas

I'm Ed Fink, and these are my 360 degree panoramas. I was the first VR photographer in the world to do fullscreen 360° panoramas from a helicopter.
Today I'm a Google Trusted Photographer offering Google Business Photos (aka "Indoor Street View") in Minneapolis and St. Paul. I've recently started integrating Google Business Photos in my 360° aerials.

These are my 360 degree panoramas of Mall of America, including Camp Snoopy.

The Mall of America is the largest, fully enclosed retail and family entertainment complex in the U.S.

The Mall of America draws 42 million visitors each year; more than Disney World, Graceland and the Grand Canyon combined.

Seven Yankee Stadiums would fit inside Mall of America.

Mall of America’s 13,300 short tons of steel is nearly twice the amount in the Eiffel Tower.

Spending 10 minutes in every store would take a shopper more than 86 hours to complete their visit to Mall of America.

Mall of America is located on the former Metropolitan Sports Stadium which was home to the Minnesota Vikings and Twins. Home plate can be found in Knott’s Camp Snoopy.

Peanuts creator Charles Schultz was a native of St. Paul.

There are 30,000 live plants and 400 live trees planted in Knott’s Camp Snoopy.
