What are the best family activities in Minneapolis?
We will be taking a road trip to Minneapolis with our daughter, who is starting college there. What are the best family activities we can do while we are there?
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden: Enjoy over 60 whimsical and unique sculptures in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Don’t miss the most iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture!
Science Museum of Minnesota: Enjoy a full day of activities from learning about dinosaurs and fossils to different science experiments.
Minnehaha Falls: Have a picnic with spectacular views of the waterfall and explore the regional park’s beautiful trails to appreciate nature in all seasons. Dogs are also welcome!
Mall of America: The Nickelodeon Universe, SEA Life Minnesota, the Crayola Experience, roller coasters, and more can be found at this action-packed mall! Visiting this mall is a great activity on rainy days.
Como Park Zoo and Conservatory: Kids (and adults) will enjoy seeing the many animals at the Como Zoo and learning more about them! There are also beautiful gardens of exotic plants to stroll through.
Some of these activities will require purchasing tickets, so it is best to book them in advance!
