While meandering through the gardens, it's easy to forget that you're in a city. Many of the sculptures are significant contributions to the development of three-dimensional art. A fun place to go on nice days. The adjoining footbridge which connects the sculpture garden to Loring Park is interesting as well, with a John Berryman poem displayed across the length of the inside of the bridge. I can get lost in here for hours!!

t's a little out of the way and costs more than Como Zoo in St. Paul (8 bucks compared to free), but the Minnesota Zoo does an excellent job in displaying animals in their natural habitats. They have huge paddocks for animals to run and graze. There's a dolphin pool where you can see them through underwater windows. Avoid the monorail tour unless it's raining, it's really slow and the cars aren't ventilated very well, which is horrible on hot days. The zoo has good concerts during the summer and a little farm where they've got pigs and cows and chickens, which is great for kids.

Breathe in Stardust's retro-galactic air. Check out the starry light fixtures and the mural depicting whirling planets and bowling-pin-shaped rockets. The kitschy decor may not help your score, but it always makes bowling more interesting. One of Stardust's stellar promotions is lights-out Cosmic Bowling, which runs the first and third Saturdays of the month from 2pm to 4pm. Be sure to select a blue- or orange-swirled ball. When the lights go out, these balls glow in the dark--along with the pins and the spacey mural. Lanes are $2.50 per person until 5pm, $3 per person thereafter.
A retro-galactic venue near two colleges, where cosmic hipsters toss glow-in-the-dark bowling balls.

Don't miss it, don't even be late!!! Terrific fair from the cheese curds to the DNR exhibit. The entertainment line up is always great for both the grandstand and the free shows. The variety of food vendors is superb with everything from elk to fried pickles - most on a stick. And you can see rodeos and ride on the Olde Haunted Mill ride.

This five-screener opened in 1995 as a sister theater to the nearby Uptown, which was originally called the Lagoon. The new Lagoon takes its name seriously, with swirly blue and green aquatic-pattern carpet, foliage in the form of wood paneling and palm-tree lights. (Yes, those gold posts with luminous protuberances are trees.)
The Draw
The theaters are viewer-friendly with cushy seats, sharp floor inclines--reportedly to make subtitle-reading easier--and booming sound systems. There's also a nifty advance-ticketing arrangement. The much-touted specialty coffees at the concession stand take forever, if the machine works at
