Experience Off-Roading Adventures, Lofty Waterfalls and More

Go stargazing in a Dark Sky Sanctuary or go with the flow to find spectacular waterfalls and fishing. Enjoy family escapes to zoos, parks and other memory-making attractions. Fuel your adventures with delicious food and drink, embrace the arts, or enjoy a live performance.

Wild Adventures by Day, Natural Wonders by Night

Hike trails surrounded by glistening lakes, rolling prairies and lush forests, or cross the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi. In Minnesota, many paths lead to life-long memories.
