Things To Do
Mall of America®
Much is said in the name! A giant mall, with lots to do from shopping to eating to entertainment. It is also home of Nickelodeon Universe, a place we tend to visit often! The amusement park is definitely one of a kind.
Up-Down Minneapolis
We go here from time to time as a treat for a date night in the city. It is such a hidden gem. It has classic arcade games like pinball, Skee-ball, etc. with craft beers and pizza!
Wabasha Street Caves
We've went on two tours here and it is insane! Underground caves with tours and special events if you're looking for a unique experience.
Minnehaha Falls
Beautiful park with a waterfall that's overlooking the Mississippi River. You can even swim in the creek! Perfect for lush trails and scenic views.
Como Park Zoo & Conservatory
This is a mixture of a botanical garden, zoo, and park. We actually got engaged here at the botanical gardens in October of 2025. It was during a Fall flower display, it was beautiful!
Lake Marion
A great lake side park with food and ice cream. One of our favorite places in the summer that's close to home.
Lebanon Hills Regional Park
Great lakeside park with lush scenic walking trails. You can also rent paddle boards or canoes if you want to get out on the water! Another summer fav!
