in Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul
Does anyone have an already created to do pack of things (restaurants, attractions, etc)  for Minneapolis/St. Paul guests to leave in their hotel rooms along with their welcome basket?
I don't want to have to start from scratch and create my own...

    My sister and I were brainstorming locations to highlight (my Dad works in NYC, so some of our guests are coming from there).

    Some of the places we're thinking of including are:
    Minnehaha Park
    MOA
    Science Museum
    Minneapolis Institute of Arts (also Children's Theater - we had season tickets there for years, so we had to include it!)
    Fat Lorenzo's (Chicago-style pizza - where we got engaged)
    Walker Art Center
    Minnesota Sculpture Garden
    James J. Hill House
    Fort Snelling
    Mississippi Dunes Golf Club (since we're getting married in/from CG)
    Lake Calhoun (they have kayak rentals)
    Twin Cities Skydiving (Baldwin, WI, it's out of the way, but since I sky dive, we're adding it)
    A Diver's World (Lakeville - I scuba dive too Smile )

    I would suggest adding some things based on the season, a few hints: MN has more land dedicated to golf courses (per square foot) than any other state.  Or during the Winter Carnival, James J. Hill House turns off their electric lamps, and goes old school oil.  They can get a pass on the fire hazard during the Carnival.

    Or have locations for sentimental reasons.  One reason we're including Minnehaha Park is for restaurant, and because of the dog park (one of the highest regarded in the Twin Cities).

    We're doing it as a map - and we're having pictures of different locations that have been important to our lives.

    One of the things we're including is our favorite restaurants.  We included a few chains, but tried to come up with a list of smaller, local places we've enjoyed in the Twin Cities.  We're also both U of M alums, so we're going to include a list of all sports events for the weekend (including smaller sports as well- they're usually really cheap!)

    Great ideas!  And thanks to all who answered!  My FI is into design and wants to make the booklet so these ideas and suggestions will help out a lot.  Love the knotties!
