Things To Do
Lake Bde Maka Ska
One of our favorite things to do is walk around the three-mile loop at Lake Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis. You can also rent kayaks, bikes, and stand-up paddle boards, or enjoy the three sand beaches. There are many restaurants and bars near the area. Lake Bde Maka Ska is a 25 minute drive from the Omni Hotel.
Lake Harriet
Great for kayaking, paddle boarding, or grabbing a drink!
Mall of America
The Mall of America is the largest shopping mall in the country with 520 stores, an indoor amusement park, movie theater, escape room, mini-golf courses, and multiple full-service, fast-casual, and food court dining options. The Mall of America is a 10-15 minute drive from the Omni Hotel.
Fort Snelling State Park Trail
Located in the heart of the Twin Cities, this park offers extensive hiking, bike and ski trails that link to Minnehaha Park and the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge. The Pike Island Loop is a 3.9 mile heavily trafficked loop that features a river and is good for all skill levels. Fort Snelling State Park is a 10 minute drive from the Omni Hotel.

One of Minneapolis' oldest and most popular parks features a majestic 53-foot waterfall, limestone bluffs, and river overlooks.

Target Field
The Minnesota Twins will be playing the Colorado Rockies at Target Field. Anyone interested in attending the game can take an Uber/Lyft to downtown Minneapolis. Target Field is a 20-25 minute drive from the Omni hotel.
Surly Brewing Co.
Great beer garden with live music, corn hole, and much more fun activities!
St. Anthony Main
Located right on the Mississippi River with stunning views of downtown, St. Anthony Main is a pocket of Northeast Minneapolis worth exploring. This hidden gem is characterized by its cobblestone road lined with a historic theater, bustling restaurants and some of our favorite patios. It’s also the oldest portion of the city, but has kept it’s character intact.
Kyndred Hearth
With a focus on quality ingredients, simplicity and execution, the menu features James Beard award-winning chef, Ann Kim’s take on familiar favorites. From burgers and pizza to pasta dishes, guests get a taste of the Minneapolis food scene in the heart of Eagan. Though the menu doesn't say "Gluten Free" - they will do an amazing gluten free pizza crust if you ask! This restaurant is located at the Omni Hotel.
Red Cow St. Paul
Red Cow is one of Talia and Andrew's favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. They have amazing burgers, salads, and appetizers and drinks. They have awesome gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. The closest location is in St. Paul at 393 Selby Avenue. If you decide to venture into Minneapolis there are three more locations at 50th & France, Uptown, and the North Loop. Check out their website for more details.
