Things To Do
North Shore Scenic Drive
For those staying a little longer and craving a road trip, the North Shore Scenic Drive is a must! Head up from Duluth along Lake Superior, stopping at the iconic Split Rock Lighthouse and chasing waterfalls along the way. We did a Larson family road trip here and it was truly magical!
Mall of America®
Needless to say, the biggest mall in the United States!!! Featuring an indoor roller coaster and amusement park, alongside shopping, dining, and enough attractions to fill a day.
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is home to the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry (yes, photo required), then pop next door to the Walker Art Center for a quick dose of contemporary art if you’re feeling cultured. If there’s still energy left, wander over to nearby Loring Park for a chill stroll and lake views to round it all out.
Twin Cities Premium Outlets
We’re big fans of outlet shopping, especially with Minnesota’s no clothing tax. Mingyi also firmly believes that outlet shopping counts as saving money~ #girlmath
Visit a Minnesota Lake
Minnesota is known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes! Some favorites near the Twin Cities include Lake Minnetonka, Lake Harriet, and Bde Maka Ska. But honestly, you really can’t go wrong with any lake you stumble upon.
