Shop! Seriously that's what I like to do. The kids like the rides and stores like Nike. Two days is a bit too much time for me though. I guess you could always take in a movie, etc.

We usually only go a day, and that's enough. We just shop. Ha. and eat. They have some new zipline there that's suppose to be fun. ? Otherwise there is the Waterpark of MOA across the street.

It's been a while since I've been there. Probably 5 years or so. But I think the wristband rides were for little kids. We took our kids there a lot when they were preschool to middle elementary school aged. The wristbands were $20 and they could ride all day. It was much cheaper than ValleyFair and DH and I didn't need to pay. I think the bigger rides are pay as you ride, but I'd look on the website to confirm that.

The wristbands are good for all the rides, not just the little ones.
Unfortunately, since I live in the area and go frequently, it just seems like a mall to me. IMO they've taken so much of the fun stuff out. They do have a ropes course that goes from the second floor to almost the ceiling of Nick Universe. If you're not afraid of heights, it's a good time.

I don't have much to add. Stay at or check out the lobby at the Raddison Blu. Pretty cool.
Otherwise, Nick Universe, Legoland, dinner and shopping is about it for us. I think there is the Sky Deck bowling ally on the fourth floor and mini golf on third. We haven't done either.

They usually have some big event thing going on there too besides the rides, right now it's The Barbie Dreamhouse Experience but I'm not sure how long that will be there. There are some fun places to eat like The Rainforest Cafe too. We live in the area so we don't go there very often because it's busy, expensive and touristy, but when we do we pretty much just make a beeline for whatever store we're going there for so we can get in and out.

The zip line is cool. Also, there is a climbing ropes/ladders kind of thing the kids will like.
The wristbands are good on all the rides, but not the zip line or climbing thing.
The food at Nordstrom's cafe is really good! It's a little known spot.
Have a free sample at See's Candy. Then buy some - yum!
IKEA is right across the road.

Ropes course! My dh is one of the engineers that designed it. His contribution was the zip line so I'm biased.

Wowsa, it's been way too long since I was at MOA! The new features sound really exciting.
