Did you know that Minneapolis used to be the flour milling capital of the world? Gold Medal Flour and General Mills is from Minnesota. This is a fascinating museum is one of my favorites in the cities. You will get to learn about history of Twin Cities, how the flour is made and processed, and some of the history of the Mississippi River!
Minnesota is known as the state of 10,000 lakes! Chain of Lakes is one of my favorites in the cities. It is a great place for a walk and biking (rent a city bike!)
MIA is one of the largest art museums in the US! It is free and has wonderful collections from Rembrandt to Van Gogh to contemporary art.
Walker Museum is an awesome art museum that has free outdoor sculpture garden. You can find Claes Oldenburg's famous cherry on a spoon sculpture here (icon of St Paul).
Are you a fan of Prince? Then this is a place for you; home of Prince. Requires advanced ticketing!
Check out farmers market on Saturday morning!
Nice nearby park with a waterfall.
Do you enjoy baseball? Or perhaps hot dogs (best kind of hotdog: bratwurst) and beer? There will be a home Twins game this July weekend!
