This is where we met for our first daring Coffee Meets Bagel date. Tap room and restaurant, Lake Nokomis a few blocks away,
If you've never been to the Science Museum before...treat yourself! This was our second date...Bethany suggested we check out the mummy exhibit, providing excellent fodder for the mind and conversation. Super kid and adult-friendly. Learn something new!
Voted the Best Botanical Garden! You can wander for hours in these pretty landscapes. See how many new plant names you can learn, basking in the beauty of more than 5,000 species and varieties. Mackenzie's note: this is actually located in Chanhassen, NOT Chaska. Ask him about it, he works for the city of Chanhassen.
Zoo and Conservatory. Animals and green things, two of Mac and Bethany's favorite things. Also, free! Highly recommended.
Don't miss it! Close proximity to the U of M, downtown Minneapolis. Be mesmerized by the perpetual motion and force of the Mississippi around the historic St. Anthony Falls. Take a picture along the ruins of the once-glorious Washburn-Crosby Co. (later General Mills) mill, check out Mill City Museum. Enjoy a comprehensive view of the area at the top of Guthrie Museum. Who doesn't like river fronts? So many picturesque spots around this area!
