items If your from here, you probably have done all these at least once. If not, check them out. These are some of my favorite places in Minnesota.

While I highly suggest visiting during non winter hours, winter is pretty too! If you follow the walking path down about a mile, it will take you to a usually secluded small beach on the Mississippi River!
Minnehaha Regional Park - Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board
In Minnesota there is a huge disagreement about who created the juicy Lucy and who has the best. The correct answer is Matt's!
Matt's Bar HOME OF THE ORIGINAL JUCY LUCY!
I mean do I even need to say more? Even if you don't go to a show here, walk past and take a picture with the stars.
Upcoming Shows - First Avenue
The only "lake" I will go in. It's basically a pool that looks like a lake, it has a liner and filters. No fish, no weeds. Beach feel with none of the grossness.
Elm Creek Swim Pond | Three Rivers Park District
To walk around the lake is the equivalent of a 5k. On a windy day you get waves and it almost sounds like the ocean. There's always people here, walking, biking, walking dogs, swimming, just hanging out. It's also great for people watching. Hit it at...
Bde Maka Ska Park - Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board
This is my favorite museum. I like to go with other people, but I also like to go alone, throw some headphones in, and wander around contemplating life. While your here, hit the sculpture garden.
Walker Art Center | Contemporary Art Museum | Minneapolis
It's been in a few films. It's exactly what you expect, great diner food!
Mickey’s Diner By Willy
I grew up 2 blocks from here. This is the site where George Floyd was murdered.
George Floyd Square
They don't have a website. If your looking for Barbie dancers this isn't the place. But if ur looking for a great time, it is. It's the local Players Club.
Augie's
Your first class is free. I loved it so much, I signed up for a membership that I had to keep for 3 months and never went back. Not because I didn't want to. But my main sport is pole dancing and I was focused on that, and genuinely didn't have the t...
Rumble Boxing North Loop
Good food, and they have good shows. They used to have spoken word poetry.
Icehouse
If you're looking for a group place to stay or somewhere to take really cool photos, stay here! The pool is inside so it's good year round!
MAIN | Grandpas Pool House
There's about 6-8 blocks of antique shops, other shops, restaurants. It's a beautiful place to walk around on a nice day. If you have kids visit Teddy Bear Park while there.
Downtown Stillwater
Wander around until you walk over the small metal bridge. On the other side of the bridge is a walking path, along the path there's a staircase that goes up to a magical neighborhood. It's only a few blocks big. The houses are magical, and it looks l...
Boom Island
It's got a great wave pool. The lazy river isn't amazing but it's nice!
Bunker Beach Water Park
I was hesitant to add this, ask any local, we don't go here unless we have to. But, if you're not from here, definitely go and see it. This was the mall I hung out as a teenager, so it's personally unimpressive. However, if you're just visiting, go s...
Home | Mall of America®
If you like Garrett's popcorn in Chicago, you have to go here. It's so good!
World-Famous Popcorn & Popcorn Tins | Candyland
It's honestly huge and has everything you could think of. It also has giant action figures and is just fun!
Minnesota's Largest Candy Store: A Candy Store in Jordan, MN
Hands down the best bread I’ve ever had. Whether with a sandwich, garlic bread or cheese bread.
Sweet Taste of Italy - Brooklyn Park, MN - 9576 Noble Pkwy N - Hours, Menu, Order
If you have kids, take them here! There's so many interactive, fun exhibits. I mean, even if you don't have kids, go!
Science Museum of Minnesota
It's a smaller theatre and you can get great seats for pretty cheap. Every play I've been to has been phenomenal!
Calendar | Children's Theatre Company
This is the best farmers market. There's so many shops. Fresh fruit, veggies, plants, goods, and food vendors. Sometimes there's live music or entertainment.
Lyndale Market
Because winters are so brutal here we built above ground tunnels to get to all the buildings downtown. There's restaurants, shops, businesses, doctors, etc. go wander around them.
Your Guide to Navigating the Minneapolis Skyway System
It's a movie theatre set up like a restaurant. There are waiters, and you can order food and drinks. They also have comedy shows.
Cinema Grill
I've only been once. But people rave about it! There's plenty of touristy things to see and do. If you do go, do a tour of the Glensheen mansion. Also, if you're already there you might as well make the drive up to Grand Marais.
Visit Duluth | The Official Visitor Guide to Duluth, Minnesota
It's really interesting, and very beautiful!
Glensheen Mansion | Historic Congdon Estate | Take A Tour
This is your typical summer lake town. Downtown there's blocks of bars, restaurants and shops.
Grand Marais, MN: The Ultimate North Shore Getaway on Lake Superior
It's huge! They still have micro film. Visit the special collections section. It's super cool, and gives vibes of an old library that people don't often visit (only in the special collections section).
Minneapolis Central Library
Super cool location, nice rooftop, and good food. Catch a drag brunch on the weekend.
Union Rooftop - Minneapolis, MN
It might be a little confusing to get to. You have to go through the W Hotel to get to it. It's giving Sleepless in Seattle vibes.
Foshay Observation Deck
This feels much more real artist vibes then the sculpture garden in Minneapolis.
Franconia Sculpture Garden
There's nothing to do here except go look at it. Which you should do. It gives such weird vibes. Like it calls you there, it's comforting but eerie. It's like it has secrets it wants to tell you. Idk, you just have to experience it yourself.
Washburn Park Water Tower
If you're in town, take a class here! If your a complete beginner that's okay! Just sign up for an intro to pole drop in.
If you're in town for a special event, book a party! You and your friends get 2 hours of studio time with an instructor, never ...
