REI is the best camping/sporting goods store in the TC. I have purchased all of my equipment here. They have a great co-op program where if you become a member your purchases are tracked throughout the year and then you get 10%back as dividend dollars at the end of the year. You cannot beat this program. it is getting free money for products you buy anyway. REI has only top of the line gear and their prices are competive with anyone, however at REI you get customer service from people just like you, people who are knowledgeable in the department they work in.

I am always impressed by the artwork I see at The Minneapolis Institue of Arts. There are so many different mediums and styles, so you get the full picture of the history of art. The collection includes everything from heiroglyphics to 1950s advertisents and modern art. It is all very interesting. The only downside is that the museum is so big it is hard to navigate through.

More
Minnehaha Falls Nursery and Garden Store is a great alternative to Bachmans, which can be pretty formulaic with their variety. The Minnehaha Falls Nursery is more reasonable priced and you will come across the occasional plant or flower variety that is not typical. This can be nice for a garden edition if you don't want to be like everyone else and part of the purple army.

I have been here many times since I was a kid and I love it! They have some great exhibits that are sometimes a little outside the mainstream.
I also love the little gift shop they have inside. It is fun to browse through the books and unique gifts there.
They also have certain days where you can get in for free - I love a bargin!
I actually haven't back since the re-opening - so I am excited to see their updated building - I have heard great things about it!
One big downside - if you go with a stroller (or anyone who cannot do stairs) be prepared to be frustrated with the number of stairs. The elevators are difficult to find and there are actually different sets of elevators all over the place that only go to certain places - plus they aren't well labeled. This point alone has lowered my rating by 1 star.

If you know a stay at home dad, then do him a favor and recommend him to join the Minnesota Dads at Home group. It's for families FT or PT dads who stay at home with their kids. It gives the dads a chance to get out and socialize with others in the same situation and gets kids playing together. They have playgroups and events at many different areas within the metro region.

Flanders has a decent selection of goods, but great service and repair. If you are lookign for a racing bike, this would be a great shop to go for. A every day bike, they dont' have as much of a selection but you would still do OK. I've gone to Flanders a lot of times and have always been treated very nicely with all my questions asked. They carry a lot of helmets, too.

I bought my Bike at Varsity Bike after looking at a few other places. I liked how they were a small shop, but had what I needed. They were priced competitively, too. They have always been great with repairs and have a short turn around time, too. The staff know a TON about bikes, too!

My husband and I wanted to get into biking some more...something we had both loved but were VERY ignorant regarding it. We stopped by Bikemasters and were pleasantly suprised at how patient they were with us. They explained all the different bikes and asked us a ton questions to find out what would fit us best. They have everything you could imagine relating to bikes from the bikes themselves to helmets, clothing and bells. Stop by, you won't be disappointed.
