A little further away from the hotel, but still a great zoo! Lots of cool things to do and obviously lots of animals to see!
Literally anything you could want all in one spot! MOA gets busy on the weekends, but not terrible! Indoor amusement park, great shopping, great food- what more could you want??
The lake has a great 3 mile loop for casual walks, a good workout, or anything in between! Also lots of open space to play games, sports or have a picnic! Public swimming access and pet friendly :).
If you don't want to go all the way to the Mall of America, Eden Prairie Center is a great mall for a one-stop shop!
