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

100 Portland Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55401, USA

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.
