Change things up with these side-trips from Minneapolis: Extreme Sandbox - Minnesota (in Hastings), Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (in Chanhassen) and Saint Cloud (Munsinger Gardens & Stearns History Museum). There's lots more to do: admire the sheer force of Minnehaha Park, get your game on at The Escape Game Minneapolis, browse the different shops at Mall of America, and contemplate the waterfront views at Lake Harriet.

Expect a daytime high around 81°F in August, and nighttime lows around 64°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 24th (Mon) early enough to travel back home.
