The mall was referenced in the series ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' during the episode "[[Slap Bet]]" as the reason why native Minnesotan [[Marshall Eriksen]] believed that [[Robin Scherbatsky]] would have been married in a mall; this is a reference to the Chapel of Love in the mall, which closed in August 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.chapeloflove.com/|title=Chapel of Love at the Mall of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/04/24/how-i-met-your-mother-slap-bet-review|title=How I Met Your Mother: "Slap Bet" Review|date=April 24, 2007}}</ref> The mall was the location of the premiere of ''[[Digimon: The Movie]]'' (2000) and the 30th anniversary screening of ''[[The Godfather]]'' (1972).  The mall was also referenced in the series ''[[Reginald the Vampire]]'' in the episode "[[Reginald Andres Beyond Thunderdome]]" by the character Ashley who was quoted as saying "I was born on the day they broke ground for the largest shopping mall in America."

In the [[Lifter Puller]] song "Bloomington", singer [[Craig Finn]] (a Minnesota native) refers to the mall as a place where the narrator conducts some of their illicit business: "His idea of fun is Bloomington, he always takes his calls at the megamall".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://genius.com/Lifter-puller-bloomington-lyrics|title=Lifter Puller - Bloomington lyrics - Genius}}</ref>
