Rejuvenate yourself at a park side vacation home overlooking the best city park system in the nation, or absorb the local history through a century-old brownstone, modern loft in a former mill, or sprawling yet graceful Victorian mansion. Let Minneapolis charm you with its many attractions - even during its famously cold winters you'll find plenty to do.
Excellent local fare
Minnesotans take great pride in their state, and this is reflected in the cuisine of each region. Recently, craft breweries have been popping up like crocuses in the springtime, many of them centered in and around central Minneapolis. Try a rich, golden American Pale Ale alongside nationwide favorite the Juicy Lucy cheese-filled hamburger, which Obama himself sampled at Matt's Bar in 2014.
Perhaps Scandinavian flavors are more your palette, in which case lingonberries, lutefisk and lefsa will do the trick. Peruse through the intriguing selection at Ingebretsen's Scandinavian Foods and Gifts to see for yourself where many Minnesota customs (and the accent) come from.
For children and those young at heart
Explore the many lakes of this incredible city. The family will love the many trails around the Chain of Lakes neighborhoods that allow for biking, rollerblading, and general exploration. Kayak and canoe rentals are also available, along with sandy beaches and fishing docks.
Check out the exciting Minnesota Children's Museum or the renowned Science Museum of Minnesota with its popular Omnitheater.
Home of the original indoor mall
When the weather turns cold, head inside and enjoy some of Minneapolis' famous malls. The city is home to not only the very first modern shopping mall (Southdale Center), but also the largest mall in the United States, Mall of America.
Mall of America offers patrons plenty to enjoy under its expansive roof, including a theme park, hotels, hundreds of dining options, an aquarium, mini golf, a movie theater, and of course, hundreds of independent and brand stores.
