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), Munsinger Gardens (in Saint Cloud) and Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (in Chanhassen). There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at Minneapolis Institute of Art, find something for the whole family at Nickelodeon Universe, admire the natural beauty at Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, and take an in-depth tour of Mill City Museum.
