Beyond Minneapolis

Written By Erin St. Clair

Edina - Lake Minnetonka - St. Paul - Bloomington

Sometimes the best part of staying in Minneapolis is having an easy home base for exploring the entire Twin Cities.

Edina

  • 50th & France, Southdale Mall, Restoration Hardware, Centennial Lakes

    • Great for shopping, dining, and a more polished suburban experience.

Lake Minnetonka

  • Lord Fletchers, Maynards, Lake towns & waterfronts

    • a wonderful option for a summer afternoon when guests want a get out of the city and experience Minnesota lake life.

St. Paul

  • Grand Avenue, Minnesota State Fairgrounds, Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul Saints, Minnesota Children’s Museum, Minnesota United

    • St. Paul offers a completely different personality from Minneapolis - historic neighborhoods, family attractions, sports, concerts, and some of the Twin Cities’ biggest annual events .

Bloomington

  • Mall of America, Ikea

    • For families and shoppers, these are obvious additions to the itinerary. Mall of America can easily become a half or full day destination, while IKEA makes for an easy add-on.
