Beautiful waterfall and park!
Free & great photo ops!
Another hidden gem near our home! Free, easy walking through a wildflower garden and bird sanctuary.
Massive food hall with tons of options! Near O'Shaughnessy Distilling and Surly Brewing.
Stunning conservatory - and free (donations suggested)
Walk the city chain of lakes! Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriett, Lake of the Isles and Cedar Lake all connect to make an epic walk. Rent kayaks and paddleboards at Bde Maka Ska + get a lakeside bite, or get treats at Isles Bun & Coffee then walk Lake of the Isles and gawk at fancy houses.
Free admission & stunning exhibits
The park next to our home! They have a golf course (full 18 and par 3 9-hole), Wirth Lake Beach, and a large system for walking and biking trails.
If you're looking to treat yo'self while here, this is my fav day spa in the area. Go at least an hour before your service to enjoy their quartz spa, steam room, sauna, and lounge rooms!
Lots of fun food to try here!
The area near the hotel has a walkable shopping and dining district
