The Minnesota Zoo is an all-day event with all they have to see, both inside and out.
When you pay your admission/parking, you will receive a daily schedule and zoo map. We always take a quick look over, so we can decided what we want to see and when. Some attractions are at opposite ends of the zoo, so you want to manage your time a little.
We seen the bird show for the first time on our last visit and I can't say enough about the fun we had. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but I will say that birds do fly free in the auditorioum - right over your head!
The outside animals are grouped by region - they had a few newcomers this year, so that was fun to see.
The dolphin show is also always a hit - they have a new baby as well.
Great food options, they have the imax and the main gift shop is pretty fun to browse through.

It is no surprise that the SAP library has the highest circulation of any of the branch libraries. It is one of the Carnegie endowed libraries, and is a beautiful building. It has recently been renovated and had a huge new children's area added on. It has a good sized collection of everything you would expect and a great staff. It's fun to browse in such a great space. Also they have a big book sale each summer where you can buy discards and donated overstock. I always get a bag or two. After checking out a book, grab a pastry from the Scandinavian bakery across the street and read on the peaceful lawn out front.

Having been members for 15 years or so, we are sold on REI. The staff is friendly and always knows what they are talking about. We have purchased outdoor clothing, roof racks for the car, snowshoes and many other outdoor necessities at great prices. If they don't have it in stock they will ship to the nearest REI store for free.

Formerly known as the Como Park Conservatory, the newly revamped Marjorie McNeely Conservatory does a wonderful job of preserving and displaying exotic plant life. The atmosphere is very elegant, yet warm (literally) and inviting. Throughout the North and Sunken Gardens and the Palm Dome, various collections of palms, orchids, ferns, bonsais and much more are on display. Flower shows are hosted every season. There is a visitor center, as well as a gift shop. The conservatory is stroller and wheelchair accessible. Admission is only $1 for adults ($0.50 for seniors and kids 6-12, free for kids 5 and under). This is a gorgeous facility and a place the whole family can enjoy.

Very friendly staff who are experienced runners and know their products. They have running shoes, clothes and accessories. Just opened another store in Eden Prarie. The staff remembers you and gives it that small town feeling. They let you try out the shoes outside so you can see how they feel in real world situations. They also know alot about upcoming races.

We love the Science Museum of Minnesota!
They have wonderful permanant attractions like the Art Park and Mini Golf, Dinosaurs, Mummy, Electricity etc... and at least 1 rotating main attraction. Currently it is Body Worlds. [Incidentally, this one is pretty gross, I didn't care for it]. They also have the Omni Theater which is amazing for watching educational films and documentaries.
There are great deals for free & cheap admision too! Of course check your local library for the free museum pass but also, if your family has Minnesota Care for Health insurance or if anyone receives WIC- you are entitles to a free membership that charges only $1 a person admission.

This is an excelent place to go and play around with everything that they have! When I was younger, I used to love the ant hill place and learn all about ants and how they communicate. Large place and reasonably priced admission. It's a very nice building, and in the middle of everything, and easy to get to.
