Many Minnesotans fondly remember Camp Snoopy, the seven-acre amusement park at the heart of Mall of America. When it opened in 1992, Camp Snoopy was themed around Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters, featuring a woodsy atmosphere and subtle nods to the comic strip.
In 2006, the Peanuts license ended, and the park was temporarily renamed “The Park at MOA.” During this period, many iconic Snoopy-themed elements were removed.
In 2008, the park was transformed into Nickelodeon Universe, introducing new rides and branding based on Nickelodeon’s popular characters like SpongeBob SquarePants and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Though Camp Snoopy is no more, its legacy remains a cherished part of Bloomington’s history, and the space continues to bring joy as part of Mall of America’s evolving story.
