Things to Do
Chisago City is only 30 minutes from Minneapolis and St. Paul and 30 minutes from Stillwater! All three cities are well worth the trip. See below for some of Kai and Anna's activity, coffee, food, ice cream, and drink recommendations!
Minneapolis
_____________________________________________
Stone Arch Bridge
One of the most iconic landmarks in Minneapolis, the Stone Arch Bridge is a former railroad bridge that crosses the Mississippi River and connects you to some of the most beautiful parts of the city. Start at the Guthrie Theater, head to Mill City Museum to see the ruins, catch the Mill City Farmers Market on Saturday mornings, and then head across the Stone Arch Bridge to get great views of the downtown skyline.
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
Explore more than 60 sculptures from the Walker’s collection in the heart of Minneapolis. The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is free, open to the public, and is open from 6 am to 12 midnight every day.
Minnehaha Falls
Lots of beautiful walking trails around the falls. Sea Salt Eatery is right next to the falls with delicious Shrimp Po' Boys and fish tacos.
