Things to do in Minnesota...

Allright fellow ballpark chasers im planning a trip to Target Field next month and I was wondering besides the Mall of America what are some other things to do. I also enjoy going to the casino so if
you've been to one in the twin cities please let me know where its located. Thanks for your help all!!

Comment by Jeff Cooney on July 5, 2010 at 4:09pm: just got back.....tried the Ju(i)cy Lucy at each place (5-8 and Matt's) and preferred the 5-8 Club...both places were excellent though!

Check out this article for a really good overview: http://www.mspmag.com/travel/forvisitors/vacationsinourcities/defau...
I admit that it's a bit outdated, but I like how it's split up, depending on who you are and what you like... The Foodie, The Fashionista, The Kid at Heart, The Arts Aficionado, The Ethnographer, The Night Owl, The History Buff, The Sports Fan, or The Nature Lover. Many of the events referenced in the article are held annually, so even though it's an outdated story, there is probably some relevance to the city still. If you have specific questions after reading it, send me a note-

For the casino, Mystic Lake is the biggest- and not a long drive from the cities: www.mysticlake.com/

And if you're all about the Jucy Lucy like Ken... I would recommend Matt's Bar (dive bark but GREAT food) or Groveland Tap (neighborhood gem). Those are the best in town in my opinion.

The last few times I have been there I have done different things like the MOA and the Walker Arts Museum. Ya gotta go see the huge spoon and cherry at the Walker Arts Museum, its pretty cool :) This time through I am gonna check out the Ju(i)cy Lucy craze by stopping at the 5-8 Club and Matt's Bar and having one myself :)
