After living in the Twin Cities for over a decade—five of those as a parent and many before as a teacher—I’ve explored a lot of kid-friendly spots. From cozy coffee shops with play areas to massive playgrounds and hands-on museums, this area is packed with places where kids can burn off energy while parents actually enjoy themselves too.
