    Beautiful and large art museum. And it’s free! Would recommend to anyone visiting the twin cities. Friendly staff. Has a small cafe and gift shop as well.

    A neat thing to see not far from downtown! We visited on a Saturday and it was quite busy. Great place to walk and the park is fairly large. Lots of steps to get to the base of the falls so be sure to wear comfy shoes!

    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.

    The Sculpture Garden is available year round and it is free. Parking is available in the parking lot, ramp or on the street. We wandered around for over an hour, and there was still much more to see. It is wonderful art displayed outdoors. It looked like there were lights on many of the trees and bushes, so I am guessing that it is beautiful at night, too. A nice, free outdoor activity for all ages.

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful greenspace with lots of parking to explore the lake by boat or around the boat on foot or bicycle. Options to get food and drink too.

    Great place to experience the mystique of the land of 10,000 lakes! Great walking trails and biking trails! This is truly one of the best tings that Minnesota has to offer!

    A great place for a drive any time of year. It was chilly, so we drove around the lake and admired the surroundings and views. I recommend.

    We wanted to walk off our excellent supper at Osteria I Nonni so came here to see the falls and do a little walking. Such a beautiful place and it rained recently so the flow of the water over the falls was great (lack of rain affects that obviously). Went down the stairs and walked the path up a ways. I think the trail goes out about 2 miles. The part we were on was very easy to walk on and it was pretty along the river even though the day was kind of dreary. A restaurant is right close by if you want to grab a bite to eat as well.

    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.
