Things To Do
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
This outdoor art exhibit is free to the public and is the perfect place to enjoy some fresh air while admiring the sculptures around you. Over its 11 acres, there are 40 different outdoor sculptures created by talented artists. Among the most popular are the Spoonbridge and Cherry and a giant blue rooster. These can both be seen from I-94 as you drive through the Twin Cities.
Stillwater
As lunchtime starts to sneak up on you, take the 30-minute drive over to the adorable Minnesota town of Stillwater on the St. Croix River. Here you’ll find a variety of great restaurants, including a rooftop bar, Papa’s Rooftop, and a tiki-themed paradise, The Tilted Tiki. After grabbing lunch, walk along the river and cross into Wisconsin on the historic Stillwater Lift Bridge. This pedestrian-only bridge has become an icon in the small town.
Stone Arch Bridge
Built in 1881, this bright connect Minneapolis and St. Paul, forming the Twin Cities. It was built to bring the Minneapolis Union Railroad over the Mississippi River, but today, it’s just a pedestrian bridge. It offers one of the best places to watch the sunset in the city. Admire the views of the Minneapolis and St. Paul skylines and watch the sun sink beyond the horizon.
