Experience Minnesota's beautiful outdoors at Minnehaha Falls! The falls can be seen with a quick walk (with stairs), but there are also some hiking trails through the park. Check out Sea Salt Eatery for food in the park!
FREE zoo that I (Shelby) grew up going to. It's a really great zoo, and there are also nice indoor botanical gardens and rainforest experience.
Check out the largest mall in the United States! Find pretty much any shopping you can think of, plenty of food options, and a full amusement park.
This is downtown and walking distance from the DoubleTree Hotel. I'm not sure how big of a farmer's market this is. Certainly nothing compared to the one in Des Moines (a plug for my favorite farmer's market). <3
They offer tours of the caves or a "gangster tour" of St. Paul. They also do swing dancing in the caves on Thursday nights.
If you're looking to check out a cute Minnesotan town, head to Downtown Stillwater. It is right on the beautiful St. Croix River, and there are lots of cute shops and places to eat.
A beautiful place for a walk with amazing views of the Minneapolis skyline
Free art museum in Minneapolis
Arcade and mini-golf
Great spot close to the hotel for Italian food with a marketplace feel
