What's the best time to visit Minnesota?

My nephew’s a junior in high school right now, but he’s taking a proactive approach by applying to colleges. Minnesota is at the top of his list, so I told him we should go for a visit. When’s the best time to visit Minnesota?

Taking a tour of the campus is always a smart idea before your nephew commits. So if you want to enjoy the state at its finest, the best time to visit
Minnesota
is in late summer. During this time, the temperatures hover in the low 80s and there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy.
While you’ll be busy touring the campus, add a few of these things to your list to get the most out of your trip:
  • Step over the Mississippi River near Lake Itasca.
  • Go to a Twins game at the brand new Target Field.
  • Go to the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul in August.
  • Take a trip on Minnesota’s North Shore Scenic Drive.
  • Take a fishing trip at one of the state’s 10,000 lakes.
If you’re going to drive around on your trip to Minnesota, make sure to add
towing and labor coverage
to your car insurance policy for some peace of mind. A great place to shop for this coverage is with the
Jerry
