Things to Do
Best-kept secrets are usually best when kept secret. But, what can we say? Minnesotans are nice enough to share. Go to one of our 57 museums. Shop at dozens of fabulous malls. Take your pick from 30 theater venues. Cheer on all five professional teams. We’ve got it all in Minneapolis Saint Paul – and then some.
Minneapolis Saint Paul boasts all the attractions and events a large city has to offer, without the hassles. In addition to theater, dance, jazz, fine dining, great bars and clubs, take picturesque strolls along a glorious river and recreate around more than 900 metro area lakes – all in a green urban environment.
Because there's so much to do and so many resources in Minneapolis Saint Paul, we're continuing to add information to this section daily. Visit often. If you have your own story or resources to share, please post a comment below. Thanks!
