Where can you surf, ski, shop, or ride a roller coaster under one roof? If this seems like a riddle, it’s not—just off the turnpike stands the dazzling American Dream, a mall and entertainment complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that’s filled with over 3 million square feet (equivalent to 45 football fields–yup, you read that right) of fun.

While it’s only slightly smaller than its sister property, Mall of America in Minnesota, this space is the ultimate entertainment complex in the Northeast, with a chance to ski indoors at Big Snow (the only indoor ski slope in the Western Hemisphere), get lost in the labyrinth of the Mirror Maze, or ride a roller coaster indoors at Nickelodeon Universe Theme Park.

If that’s not enough, they have the largest indoor water park in the US, the world’s largest collection of paradox exhibits, and the world’s largest candy store with over 10,000 types of candy. Oh, and did we mention the shopping, including luxury stores, mall favorites, and the only Saks Fifth Avenue location in NJ?

American Dream has no shortage of noteworthy records and excitement for any age
