Holidays in Downtown East

An adventure in Minneapolis - St. Paul isn't complete without heading out of the city and exploring its suburbs. Are you ready to find out what Downtown East, has to offer? It's situated 6 kilometres northwest of the centre. To arrive there, the closest airport is Minneapolis - St. Paul International Airport. Once you've stretched a little, collected your bags and taken in your new surroundings, journey 11 kilometres to the north.

This city is filled with awesome things to do, and you'll discover many of them near Downtown East. It's no simple task to pick the best sights, but the University of St. Thomas and Minnehaha Park are a couple you should not miss. After taking a look at those, you'll want to continue onwards to Mill Ruins Park and Basilica of Saint Mary. For a different perspective on Minneapolis - St. Paul, set off to Mill District and Downtown West, nearby neighbourhoods just waiting to be explored.

Mall of America is one of those attractions that you need to see in real life. Sitting just 10 kilometres from the downtown area, you're not going to have any excuse to skip it.

You won't be lacking in things to do close to the city centre. There's a wealth of great attractions to keep you satisfied, including the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis.

Eager to get a taste of the cultural scene? Try the Hennepin Center for the Arts, the Loft Literary Center and the Northrup King Building.

Sometimes a work of art can impress you so much that you just have to study its background. See if the staff can inform you about the pieces at the Walker Art Center, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Weisman Art Museum.

Sometimes it's the star exhibits that impress us the most. Other times it's a small object that's been stored away in a dark corner. Keep a lookout for both at the Bakken, the Minnesota Streetcar Museum, the Bell Museum of Natural History and the Washburn "A" Mill.

There's nothing like the feeling of excitement when a performance is about to start. Take your seat and watch the curtains go up at Minnesota Opera, the Childrens Theatre Company, Minnesota Orchestra Hall and the Guthrie Theater.

Is your golf swing lacking oomph? Does your alignment need some correction? With top-notch fairways like the Hiawatha Golf Course, the Francis A Gross Golf Course and the Columbia Golf Course to tee off at, improving your handicap will be par for the course.

Children can be great travel mates, especially if you go to awesome places! For an entertaining family day out, take a trip to the Minneapolis Public Library-Central Branch and the Riverview Theater.

Are the kids starting to get restless with all the sightseeing? Take some time out and make your way to some of the local family friendly attractions. Theodore Wirth Park, the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and The Depot Skating Rink are great options.

Head outdoors and take in the scenery at Lake Calhoun, Cedar Lake, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and Lake of the Isles.

Get your picnic on and invite some friends down for an afternoon in one of the vibrant green spaces nearby. You have a number of options, including Loring Park, Lyndale Park, Murphy Square and Gold Medal Park.

The Mill City Museum, the American Swedish Institute, IDS Center and Minneapolis City Hall can give you a glimpse back into the area's past.

Holy places such as Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral and Music Box Theatre can provide you with a better understanding of the region. Relax in the peaceful atmosphere and take a little time to contemplate.

If you're a big fan of snowboarding or skiing, pay a visit to Sky Glider and Sky Ride. It's going to be cold, so make sure you pack a suitcase of woolly gloves and socks!

No time here is complete without catching a game at TCF Bank Stadium, home to the Minnesota Golden Gophers football and Minnesota Vikings. If your visit coincides with game day, get into your favourite team's colours and get ready to cheer as loud as you can.
