60 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Quarry Park and Nature Preserve (in Waite Park), Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (in Chanhassen) and Munsinger Gardens (in Saint Cloud). There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at Minneapolis Institute of Art, take an in-depth tour of American Swedish Institute, walk around Minnehaha Park, and examine the collection at Science Museum of Minnesota.
