    Nice park with trails, upper and lower from falls. Restaurant with great seafood, I would choose the fried seafood, and an ice cream stand. Great view of Minnehana Falls.

    I went here for a game on a Saturday. Parking was easy. The stadium is very nice. Great sight lines. The food choices are great. The fried chicken place was very good. Such an enjoyable day.

    It's a nice hour walking around. I didn't get all of it. We walked most of it but we had a schedule to keep. There are a few things I really enjoyed, featured below. Took a couple videos under the windchimes, it was lovely there. Loved the healing Dakota maze, which is so beautiful and calming.

    A very interesting place with some interesting history. Learned a good bit about the milling industry. Definitely worth the visit if you're into how things work, get built, process, etc. Highlight was the mill dust explosion demonstration.

    Walking around the area was nice too.

    I took my dog for a walk around the lake. Beautiful natural scenery, well-maintained paths, and an impressive surrounding neighborhood.

    What a beautiful home. The craftmanship is exqusite and shows off the artful sensibilities of swedish aesthetics married to the excess of the monied class of the era. Absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed the creative way they introduced The Artic Highways as you walk through the museum. I will be coming back.

    So worth the visit! Huge falls right within the city in a huge park. Lotsa room to hike and comfortably busy with people. So glad we took the 10 min drive from the airport to check it out!
    Parking does cost, but this place is worth it. Hike down to the base of the falls then go on the trails….you are deep in the woods in the valley, yet right in the city. Awesome!

    I am a big fan of old churches / cathedrals and this place was no different. Beautiful architecture, gorgeous stained glass windows all over, and a solemn interior to walk around in amazement.
