Brief visit ideas - MSP

missy68 · September 2010

Anyone have "places to visit/things to do" ideas for MSP? Obviously, there's MOA and Ikea, but I'm wondering about some other ideas. J and I are going up for a weekend and I thought I'd get some ideas other than MOA (even though he's okay with that).

The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden (the one with the spoon and cherry sculpture)

Walk around the lakes (Calhoun/Harriet) and get ice cream at Sebastian Joes (if the weather cooperates)

MOA obviously (and take advantage of the no sales tax on clothes!)

Twins game at the new Target stadium

We just went and had a great time just walking around downtown. It was cool with the walkways between buildings.

We spent a day and a half at MOA and it was a blast!

Definitely sculpture garden. FI and I love the Science Museum, too

Where are you staying? Want any food recs?

oh! if you're in the south suburbs (by MOA), check out the U of M's Arboretum and Apple House! www.arboretum.umn.edu

We're staying south of the city. I think we're eating in the hotel - it has a nice restaurant, and that way we can both have a couple of drinks. We stayed there last year - it was a new Holiday Inn, and was really nice - both the room and restaurant. Breakfast kicked ass.

We did love MOA, and really enjoyed Moose Mountain golf. One of my favorite pictures of us is from there. I also discovered while there that thanks to my bypass (I'm assuming it was a player), a gas bubble in my intestine is breath taking - in a bad way.

And no, not that kind. I thought it was a piece of a Chipotle chip.

I'd like the sculpture garden; I don't know if he would. I'll bring up these ideas, though. Hopefully it will be a nice weekend. I don't think we'll have time for a ball game.

Thanks guys! Keep 'em coming if you've got them!

Oh Steph, also - unfortunately, he knows where (at least he) we are eating lunch Saturday. Argh. But that means I pick Sunday.

The Science Museum is very nice.

The Mill City Museum is neat and right next to the Guthrie Theater.

I love the MN Zoo (not the Como Zoo).

Canoeing on the St. Croix is another favorite thing to do for me.
