2 days in Minneapolis Itinerary

Located on both banks of the Mississippi River, Minneapolis salutes the state's love of the outdoors with numerous lakes, wetlands, creeks, and waterfalls--many connected to one another by a national scenic byway great for sightseeing.

On the 7th (Sat), explore the world behind art at Minneapolis Institute of Art, look for gifts at Candyland, then admire the sheer force of Minnehaha Park, and finally have fun at Target Field. On the 8th (Sun), you'll have a packed day of sightseeing: steep yourself in history at Wabasha Street Bridge, browse the different shops at Mall of America, then test your team's savvy at The Escape Game, and finally have some family-friendly fun at FlyOver America.
