Things To Do
Light Rail
Take the Light Rail from US Bank Stadium Station to many locations in the Twin Cities. Fair is $2 at the Station Kiosks. The Green Line runs through the UofM and out to Saint Paul, the Blue line runs through Minneapolis and out to the Airport and Mall of America.
Guthrie Theater
A mutant IKEA building with a view of the river. Doubles as a fancy theater. Check out the cantilever patio overlooking the stone arch bridge.
House of Balls
Carved bowling balls? A Wonder Bread Winnebago? It's a funhouse of found art and participatory sculpture! And its only a Light Rail stop away! (Its right off of the Cedar Riverside Station)
Mill City Museum
In 1878 the Washburn A Mill exploded killing 18 workers. That's 18 more than were killed in the Fukushima-Daiichi disaster or any other civilian nuclear accident in the western world. Come to the Mill City Museum to see the danger of the grain industry first hand. See where workers once labored in the unnatural act of enriching wheat, polluting the river with germ and chaff! Walk through grain silos once so anaerobic, rats would suffocate on the spot. Tread on creaking floor boards, ones too thin to contain the great explosion. Hear the wails of the Norwegian worker's ghosts! In a low timber they warn, "With what hubris did we toil! Wanting a life of plenty we built this mill and blemished natures fair tract. Head our warning. Don't let the demons of Science and Industry fool you like they fooled us! Acquiesce to the whims of energy from the wind and the sun. Don't covet processed grain, be satisfied with the quick perishing heirloom grains and superfoods that nature provided youuuu!"
