Things To Do
Minnehaha Falls
We enjoy walking Ace to this park, which features scenic hiking trails, paved paths with views of Minnehaha Falls, and plenty of spots for picnicking, hammocking, and even a playground for kids—it's a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty of the Mississippi River.
Como Park Zoo & Conservatory
The conservatory and zoo offer free admission, making it a lovely place to enjoy the greenery, stroll through the Japanese garden, and explore the outdoor spaces.
Minneapolis Institute of Art
Home to 100,000 works of art representing 5,000 years of world history. General admission is free; no tickets needed.
Lake Bde Maka Ska
Paved paths circle all three lakes—Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake Harriet—making it a popular route for both pedestrians and bikers. It’s one of our favorite running routes, like a big natural racetrack surrounded by water and trees.
Mall of America®
The Mall of America is a popular shopping destination, especially since Minnesota has no sales tax on clothing.
