Minnehaha Falls
Minnehaha Falls is a 53-foot waterfall in Minnehaha Creek, which eventually meets the Mississippi River. Widely beloved for its four-season beauty and centralized location in the urban core of Minneapolis, it’s actually a much bigger park than it initially appears — 167 acres. And if you descend the steps near the falls into the gorge, there are hiking trails that lead to a swimming hole and a sandy beach.
Mall of America®
Biggest mall in the USA, 2.6 million square feet larger than the American Dream Mall. There is an amusement park and an aquarium inside.
Como Park Zoo
The zoo features a seal island, a large cat exhibit, a variety of aquatic life, primates, birds, African hoofed animals and a world class polar bear exhibit.

The Marjorie McNeely Conservatory also features many outdoor gardens.
