There are multiple lakes in Uptown with nice walking paths and gorgeous views! Visit Bde Maka Ska for a Jamaican meal at Pimento overlooking the lake, Lake of the Isles to see the 20-foot pencil statue, Lake Harriet to visit the rose garden, or Cedar and Brownie lakes for a wooded path.
Visit the Como Conservatory to see beautiful rooms of plants, a tropical animal room (featuring a sloth), and a zoo! It is across from Lake Como as well, one of our favorite walks!
The Walker has amazing art, and always has a cool rotating exhibit. There is a sculpture garden outside as well featuring the well-known cherry on a spoon. Fun fact: Holly and Jon went on their first date at The Walker!
Visit Prince's estate! We recommend buying tickets in advance. This is about a 45 minute drive from our venue/hotels but highly worth the trek if you're a fan of Prince!
