The 21 best free attractions in Saint Paul

Open to the public... no admission ticket is required, but a small donation is encouraged. Accessible to all abilities. Fun for all ages. Lots of animals as you would expect for a zoo, some more active than others. Make sure to check out the (Sparky) the sea lion show. Check show times when you arrive. Have fun and drink plenty of water.

Excellent family outing! Como Zoo is a wonderful place to spend the day while learning about various animals. The zoo offers scheduled feedings and shows that are absolutely worth watching, adding fun and educational value to the visit. The animals appear to be well cared for, and the overall experience is both enjoyable and meaningful. Highly recommended for families!

Despite the humidity it was awesome! The combination of plants and animals makes you feel like you are in the forest or at times a jungle! The lily pad and Japanese collection were my favorites. It was also cool to see fruit trees from different countries with the branches bearing fruit. I was surprised by the number of spices they had in their native forms too. Hands down, one of the best FREE conservatories I've visted.

This is 1 of my favorite places in all of Mni Sota. I’ve visited this zoo since I was a young child. They have a plethora of inside gardens & a beautiful indoor rainforest exhibit. The outside is teeming with creatures from all over the world. Don’t forget to check out the Japanese Garden too. They have made a number of renovations in recent years & that has really spruced up the experience. Chief of these is the Sea Lion area where they put on daily shows. It’s pretty state of the art now. Did I mention it’s entirely free to the public. If you’ve never been check it out & if it’s been awhile it’s definitely worth revisiting.

Absolutely, it's a beautiful place. If you haven't been there in a while, I suggest that you go back. They've made a ton of updates that make the place look and feel more restored and renewed. It's definitely a place that I need to go to again, and very soon. The fact that you're able to talk to the workers there and that they're very helpful and kind was amazing as well. It's very family-oriented, and it was just an all-out blast.

The fact that there is no admission fee makes this my GO TO ZOO. I suggest getting there as close to opening as possible to get stress free, nearby parking. But there are lots and street parking all around! I visit como with my 3 year old and it checks all the boxes. Cool plants, some animals, a sparky sea lion show of the PERFECT length for short attention spans. You can bring your own snacks (the consession options are expensive but hey you got in for free so I believe in purchasing from them for support) all in all a great zoo and beautiful conservatory. My kiddo loves it. Perfect family outing:)

I recommend this place to anybody- what an amazing experience. Their conservatory is well taken care of and so stunning to walk through. It is a huge place that you can easily spend hours at. The entry fee is free, and there is an optional donation. I strongly recommend you donate; this place definitely deserves it.

I only visited the Cathedral of Saint Paul once, but it left a big impression. The architecture is stunning — massive, detailed, and beautiful inside and out. Walking in, you immediately feel the history and sense of peace. Even if you’re not religious, it’s worth stopping by just to take in the design and the atmosphere. Definitely one of the most breathtaking landmarks in Saint Paul!

First important hint: the doors may look Like they are closed, just go ahead and push it. It may be due to the weather. That said, visiting the Cathedral of Saint Paul is rewarding experience, it warms your soul. Regardless of your religious point of view, just go and feel it, you won’t regret. It is a peaceful place full of art and details. Stained glasses, sculpture, history…and it is indescribable what you feel when someone is playing the pipe organ. It is powerful! Make sure you reserve enough time, if you like details like I do. It is also a great idea to bundle this with other places around like the Minnesota Capitol and WWII memorial. It is a pleasant walk between buildings, specially during the fall with its astonishing colors.

The weekend guard made an already awesome visit both informative and welcoming. Many thanks for keeping this wonderful treasure open most of the time -- its cousin St. Paul's in London charges 35 pounds sterling to visit! (and it's not that much bigger than ours, the third largest US cathedral and sixth largest church in the nation)

Best two hours of the trip! ​A true masterpiece and the crown jewel of St. Paul. The architecture is stunning on a grand scale, reminiscent of the great cathedrals in Europe. The interior is vast, peaceful, and filled with beautiful details, from the soaring dome to the intricate stained-glass windows. You don't have to be religious to be moved by the grandeur and history of this place. A must-visit when you're in the Twin Cities.

Such a beautifuland breathtaking Cathedral filled with details and history everywhere. There is a small shop inside, there was a big mass the day of so it was full. And there's a timeline on the bottom.

It's beautifully decorated although slightly dated...if you're into saints and the"Almighty" this is your spot! They have cool booths to hang out in if you want quiet time"with a friend. I didn't care for the wine options and a limited appetizer menu.. crackers but no CHEESE, come on do better... On a positive note, they have plenty of seating! Also it's fair to note that the waiters are all male! FYI, Avoid Sundays it's gets quite busy. BTW Squats are encourage before sitting down but the waiters will not help you back up, be forewarned. #fitnessisnexttogodlyness

Beautiful cathedral! Completely worth taking the time to go inside. You can't appreciate the beauty from outside. The ceilings and stained glass are amazing!

Walked by this place so many times and never went in. Decided to finally check it out this past Saturday and wow! It's beautiful inside, so many unique rooms and wonderful architecture all around. The lower level had a lot of interesting info to read. The man at the info desk was super friendly and kind. Only downside during our visit was an annoying, loud group of young women (wearing pj's!) in the marble room getting ready for a wedding. So we were not able to see this room, which the man at the desk said was the best one. This is a nice, and free, place to check out. So glad they didn't turn it into a parking lot as planned and it was saved. Treasure these places!

This huge beautiful building is located in between Rice Park and Landmark Plaza. It's free to enter and walk around. There isn't much to see, but there are a couple of rooms you can enter and learn a little about the history of how the building was used in the past.

Play must visit for those who love to see historical buildings and enjoy architecture. I learned that this building housed federal offices many years ago during prohibition. This building also houses a cultural center and a music museum.

Came here for an Asian cultural event and loved it! The building is beautiful and historic, which made the whole experience quite special.

Soooo beautiful, so glad a had extra time that day to walk around an explore.

Beautiful historical building and architecture. Looks like a fairytale castle! Inside on the 2nd floor are a couple interesting and free museums. We had fun at the music museum. Not a lot of people here, so we had the place practically to ourselves.

Went for their monthly Wednesday ‘Walk to the Top’ event. Very fun, and it’s free!

I was really impressed by the Minnesota State Capitol — it's absolutely stunning inside and out! The marble dome is breathtaking. If you are here on a weekday- the interior is full of beautiful art, historic murals, and grand staircases. Do take a free guided tour, you might go up to the roof for an amazing view of the city. The building feels both historic and alive with politics. If you're in St. Paul, take an hour or two to visit. It's peaceful and photogenic!

A very grand state capital with many floors of beautiful art and architecture. The dome is fantastic. If you take the tour you go up on the dome where the gold chariot is and have a view of St. Paul. The paintings in the Governors office are amazing. Free tour.

Did a free tour of the capitol while on vacation with my family. The history of the building is fascinating and our guide was very knowledgeable. The architecture is grandiose and stunning, and the views of downtown St. Paul from the rooftop are amazing. Definitely an hour well spent.

The architecture here is absolutely stunning and very detailed. The tour guide was very kind and informative.

We visit a lot of state capitols and this one is beautiful! Allow time to visit all the areas and do some reading, lots of Minnesota history. Make sure you visit the Cathedral of St Paul as well, the interior is amazing!

Wonderful free tours every hour! This building is a masterpiece and the free tour really helped me appreciate it! The roof access was especially impressive!

Make sure and take a free guided tour of this historic Capitol building. One of the nicest in the Midwest!

This is a bit of a hidden gem of a museum that ois on the UMinn campus. It is FREE, for one thing! It has a really fun facade that makes it one of more unique buildings in the Cities and certainly on campus. There is a fun Cities concept exhibit that talks about you can think of different City concepts than the norm, and it has an interesting sky way map in the downtown Minneapolis. A variety of classic and modern-ish art displays. A great reason Togo to campus and then explore a very beautiful campus as well!

PROS: Worthy and relevant example of great contemporary architecture. Fine urban relations to be explored and discovered. CONS: limited visit hours. Extremely difficult to observe from the surrounding, largely due to the U. of Minnesota’s public access restrictions to its buildings across the bridge on the opposite side of the Mississippi River.

Really neat museum located on the U of M campus near Coffman Union on the west bank. No admission requured.

Free contemporary art museum. Very relaxed atmosphere and great variety of artwork.

Beautiful artwork. The atmosphere was very quiet and peaceful.

Phenomenal Art Museum!!! Much of the Art is from various cultures. Very diversified Museum!! Much needed in the USA. Credit University of Minnesota to have it on their campus. The building itself....the architecture is beyond your imagination. Yes... I said Beyond! Stainless Steel & glimmering beauty along the banks of the Mississippi River. Did I mention it was free? If in Minneapolis, A must visit at the U of M.

I'm honestly not much of an art museum fan. But I do enjoy unusual architecture and this building piqued my interest. Plus, it is free admission. There were a few exhibits/pieces that I found interesting. The location is also nice for some photos being by the river and a pedestrian bridge. I didn't stay too long so street parking was good enough for me.

What’s not to say!? The iconic stone arch bridge of Minneapolis! There’s a wonderful ice cream truck at the Mill Ruins Park (on the west side of the bridge) that you should check out!!

Yay! The bridge is finally open! I took my family for a walk there recently, and we had a great time enjoying the views of the city, the waterfall, and the natural surroundings. Parking was easy to find. There’s a lot available, as well as street parking on both sides of the bridge.

This beautiful historical landmark pedestrian bride is a part of the St Anthony Falls Heritage Trail. I recommend taking a stroll on the whole trail. Its only 1.8 miles and clearly marked.

This is a nice place to walk to and they have several signs along the way giving you a bit of the history as well as there is a audio you can upload and listen to.

Beautiful bridge that connects to downtown Minneapolis, good view overlooking the dam. A must place to see for everyone

Great evening for a walk. Parking was so easy. Lots of people biking, running, walking, ands with their dogs.

This place is one of the best places if you want to take in the splendor of one of the largest rivers of U.S. the crowd is always family-like, the view is a perfect blend of nature & urban life. Perfect for solo walkimg, cycling, a date, family trip.

My son and I spent a beautiful day here! It's absolutely breath taking from the beautiful waterfall to the sounds of the rushing water. So peaceful, like free therapy and just what I needed. The park is enormous and boast a pavilion with a restaurant with wonderful food and drinks. It also had a huge grassy area for just relaxing in a chair or on a blanket. The only bad things I have to say is, I don't live closer so I can be here every day. It's absolutely beautiful and peaceful. I highly highly recommend.

A cute little hidden gem of nature in the heart of the twin cities. Parking was easy with accessible and clearly marked trails. Will be visiting again definitely

Nice outlook at a nice fall! Parking is very close. Trails are great. I walked down to the Mississippi River and three different kind of squirrels. Great historical place where President Johnson visited and the first settler in Minneapolis.

Minnehaha Falls is always a great stop for anyone visiting the area. It is peaceful and scenic with the incredible power of the falls. This year (2025) has been great with a nice amount of rainfall all year, even late in the year it is still going strong.

My husband and I visited at the end of September. Parking and payment was done with ease. The park is beautiful and dog friendly! A beautiful walk amongst friendly people. It’s so nice to find so much beauty in the city

Minnehaha Falls is a lush, verdant park. There is an appropriate balance between man made structures and natural beauty. Many trails are very steep for less able walkers, but there are plenty of flat trails to suffice. I love all the stairs personally. The park is very clean and well maintained, with bathrooms and garbages typically nearby. There’s a myriad of different locations for picnics, whether it be right on the flat ground above the falls, at picnic tables closer to the sidewalks by the falls overlook, at the restaurant in the park, or down below and the water hole/river area that the path leads individuals to. There’s so much to do at the park, whether it be eating at the Sea Salt restaurant, going to Art In The Park, attending the annual Nami walk, dipping your toes in the river, hiking, running, doing stairs workouts, riding bike, riding the provided electric scooters, grabbing a drink at the restaurant or little bar on the other side of the restaurant, seeing live music, taking your kids to the playground installed, fishing in the Mississippi, the list goes on. Minnehaha Falls is a must visit location.

A twin cities destination point that has excellent natural ionic energy as the water tumbles down in the warm months and freezes beautifully in the winter months! Warning; it is off limits to go behind the Minnehaha falls!! Do not attempt it is very dangerous!

Simply a beautiful street lined with elegantly maintained historical old homes. A very fine example of American architecture.

If you never been in this area Summit Hill, even Grand Avenue, Portland Avenue are blessed with time standing still but yet allowing some improvements, but it's hard to improve on what is already nostalgic

It's a must visit in this small city of mils and lakes

Beautiful!! We were here from out of town and came here twice and walked for miles. Hop on over to Main Street as well. So many cute shops!

The most well preserved monumental boulevard in the United States !

Great slice of Minnesota history. Worth the tour and surrounding neighborhood.

Absolutely beautiful and just unreal and mysterious at night!

i’ve been going to this farmers markets for YEARS. It’s interesting, they have a lot of ppl vendor options and in the summer, line music.

This is a pretty good farmers market... lots to choose, fresh local raised meat, yummy tacos, great honey and bread options, beautiful flower options. Something for everyone! Parking is challenging AND FYI no dog's allowed unless you have 1 of the fake "emotional support" vest for your dog. 😂

Fresh produce, good prices, parking can be tricky. Happens over weekends from 7 am to 1 pm. Check the calendar to make sure. Bring a bag. At the end of 5th St, Lowertown. St. Paul. Loved the Hibiscus variety, haven’t seen those elsewhere. Flower bouquets are just beautiful for just $10.

Great place to get fresh veggies on the weekend! Free parking is available as well.

Wonderful to visit always. The vibe is so positive and beautiful. Great local produce

Such a good place to go for a weekend morning! Lots of fresh produce and meat to choose from, coffee and breakfast items, and my favorite - fresh flower bouquets. Only downside is finding good parking. There is one right across the street but it’s $20, which isn’t bad but pricey if you’re there for an hour or two.

Always great produce and fun new finds. There is everything generally available: eggs; produce; cheeses; bread; honey; meat from local producers; and soap. This farmer's market is a great alternative to taking risks with meat at other stores. (FDA cut inspection rates and removed production caps. This means that if an issue is found, it will be a far and wide-spread impact. Don't take my word for it. Look it up from a reputable source.)

I'm not sure if posting pictures of the Museum is allowed, so if it is not allowed please let me and I'll take them down. A very nice museum! Great art! It made me contemplate the lives of Native Americans, both now and before. Truly a great visit and one I'd go to again!

I liked the quick trip through the Minnesota Museum of Art in Saint Paul. Two exhibit rooms open with interesting art in both. The one room called together was a brilliant idea to couple together adult and children created art.

So this place is very hard to find ,( There is a sign you will have to follow)also would recommend to go on a Sunday to avoid crowds and parking. The art is beautiful to see but yes the workers there will follow you around that I dislike. At most you can finish a walk through of the musuem 20-30 minutes max.

A lovely space oddly placed in DT. No entry fee. Handicapped access, large bathrooms, and staff were congenial. Upon initial entry you don't realize how expansive it is. The exhibit "Queering Indigenity" was not only beautiful artistically but historically instructive! We spent 90 min in 2 exhibit sections and then realized we would have to return at a later date to complete. If you want to discuss the art over dessert you'll have to find another venue, if it's after 3pm or weekend.

What a fabulous collection of works. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

The "M" is a jewel box of lovely art, in a historic St Paul building, and well worth several hours. Admission is free, and the galleries are filled with gorgeous art by (primarily) Minnesota artists, including many indigenous artists. We plan to go back since new gallery space is being developed, and new shows are coming soon. Park in the First National Bank ramp and take the skyway across to the museum.

A little underwhelming in size, but the artwork they have is diverse and beautiful. It's fun that they have included some of the beautiful history of the building. Looking forward to going back when their next expansion is complete.

I didn’t know the depot had a museum located on the 2nd floor. It was nice to see all the beautiful history in this building it was great to see what kind of growth in it and around the area. Many things for your convenience located inside the station a restaurant, store, free library and shoe shine. The weekend has the farmers market just a block away with a great selection. Very great staff helping my daughter on her first train ride. Train was on time. The staff said they work hard to make sure the flow goes well. They are great directing people to the section they need to go. I also was pleased to see how they also use the location for local community activities. This weekend they were having an art fair, many vendors filled the area. For the most part I think this looks a little like it is still frozen in time. The restoration that was done looks great. One sad thing…The parking was disappointing even on the weekend the parking below always says full and are not available because they have now rented out to people for monthly spots. There was a vendor for the fair that had to go two blocks with her inventory because the parking for the visitors of the depot is not available. She still had to pay the $4 even though she wasn’t there 5 minutes to be able to turn around. I have handicap tags he almost didn’t let me go in either. He would not even look at my disabled plates without me insisting to look. I have plates but because my daughter was traveling she had her tag with us. Then when he did let us in he gave me attitude and followed us to make sure we parked in the ADA approved spots. My vendor friend was not able to park there even thought we saw 20 + open spots. Those are not left available for people using the union depot, that is very disappointing. I would have given a 5 star except the parking issue and that staff working it had a poor attitude. Once we were in the building everyone was very helpful.

We caught the train to Chicago from Union Depot—and I wasn’t expecting such old-world grandeur! I absolutely loved everything about it. The station is full of charm and character, with: • fantastic photo opportunities • beautiful art installations • massive, comfy sofas • an atmosphere that transports you back to the early 20th century • a lovely bookstore • a very interesting coffee shop with good coffee • and a friendly police presence Even if you’re not taking a train, it’s worth dropping by just to soak in the ambiance.

Beautiful preserved building! Enjoyed seeing the architecture. If you’re taking Amtrak, show up early for a bite to eat. There’s also a cute little bookstore and toy shop.

What a beautiful place! The building is absolutely stunning. The shops inside are adorable, the restaurant was delicious. Clean and safe.

The St Paul Union Depot is an absolute gem!!! We did an engagement shoot here for a wedding couple of ours and the dramatic light and historic architecture just made for the most fantastic and romantic backdrop.

Train was very convenient to board. It took all of ten minutes from drop off to boarding. Casual, stress free travel. Train was great.

It's a perfectly organized, clean bus/train station which had very helpful and polite staff working inside.

We went to see Mid summers night dream, the story was pretty good, the acting was professional and fun. The stage however felt like it was high school level with a $70 price attached... Unimpressed by the stage set up. It needs more props, more bang, more animation and more uniqueness. Beautiful facility though with good actors and a lot of potential if they improve the stage sets.

I just saw the play The Mouse Trap, and it was so much fun. I recommend it. All the actors did a wonderful job. The scenery was great, too. Go early and catch the beautiful views.

We went to see the Cabaret and I was blown away! I loved all of it! Such an auspicious message. Well done play, gorgeous venue. My only complaint is the upper deck was closed, at the end of the "arm", ( the amazing cantilevered extension on the building overlooking the river)

The staff was helpful and professional and their August 2025 production of Cabaret was life changing! We’ve come back to see it a second time and it was just as magnificent.

Cabaret was an incredible show! The caliber of the cast, singing, dancing, emotional expression, accents, costumes, set design, everything was fantastic. What a musical! So timely and sobering!

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful wedding at the Guthrie theater and it was such an awesome spot to host a wedding! The location has so many nearby spots for photos and also the staff is truly amazing, I couldn't recommend them more! I look forward to photographing there again!

We saw Cabaret this time. Like always we enjoyed the show. Before the show we went up to the 9th level to the yellow observation area. Always love going to the shows here

Rice Park is a beautiful little oasis right in the heart of downtown Saint Paul. Surrounded by some of the city’s most iconic buildings — including the Landmark Center, Ordway, and the Saint Paul Hotel — the park offers a peaceful, scenic spot to relax, people-watch, or enjoy a stroll. It’s well-kept, with lovely landscaping, benches, and public art, including the charming Peanuts character statues that add a playful, local touch. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee nearby or heading to a show, it’s a perfect place to pause and take in the surroundings. At night, the park lights up beautifully, making it especially magical in the winter with the holiday lights. It’s compact but full of charm — a great little gem in the middle of the city.

Beautiful park, love all the statues and the fountain. Great view of the Landmark Center. However, just like with any city, I would recommend using the buddy system walking around at night.

This park has a large fountain as well as a large grassy area with some benches and shaded areas. Two of the three sets of Peanut statues are located here, as well as the F. Scott Fitzgerald statue.

I work downtown Saint Paul and Rice Park is my favorite spot to sit outside during lunch and enjoy the sunshine, the birds and the waterfountain. The architecture of the MN Landmark Center, Ordway, Saint Paul Hotel, & surrounding buildings are absolutely amazing. Also there are food trucks during summer and sometimes live music.

Perfectly located in downtown Saint Paul, Rice Park is a well-appointed, well-maintained and clean park where tranquility and peace reign. It's a great place to relax, take a break or eat. I recommend it to families and children.

Beautiful, clean park to walk or spend some time chilling in St. Paul downtown across from St. Paul Hotel. Nice flower lined paths, lots of benches and it’s photography friendly with the Landmark Center in the background.

Visited Rice Park in summer time and I found it lacking enough shaded spaces. But the layout is nice and is located across the street from the Landmark Bldg. I enjoyed a hotdog from one of the vendors there and enjoyed people watching for a bit. Very cool water feature. Hot day in Minneapolis.

My family enjoyed the Twin Cities Water Rats water ski show, free every Thursday night. Highly recommend checking it out!

A great new park and recreation area to explore. Many things to do for all ages and of course the dam across the Mighty Mississippi! Plan to spend several hours at this new and exciting park. Also check out the new archery range and dog park too.

It’s a great place to explore the woods inside the city. It’s a great city based on the parks one can find in the city.

Great place to take the family do a little fishing, not much for walking but there is a great ice cream shop within walking distance from pretty much anywhere from the boat landing to the danm it's right in between 2 scoops is the name if I remember correctly awesome place you have to check it out, the wife is bigger fisher than me, loves to fish would do it sun up to sun down daily if she could I always joke about her getting a sugar daddy with a nice boat because I'll never be able to afford a cheap one, :) but in reality im not joking she deserves to be able to experience a real fishing trip she's an awesome person does nothing for herself but everything for others so it's kinda a bummer that no matter how hard I try it's pretty much out of reach so anyways anyone want to take a, fun bait her own hook kind of gal on a fishing trip let me know I'd let her go in a heartbeat wow that was quite the rant anyways awesome place can catch a fish or 2 not only did the wife catch her first pike but she was reeling in a sunny when the pike hit pretty happy girl she was

Very pretty! Some good history to see.

Views of the Mississippi River at flood stage, in 2024, The closer pics are from different locations around Saint Paul, and close ups are of locks and dams 1 & 2. And Minnehaha Falls

You and the kids can learn a lot from the rangers there. About the outdoors. They have kids outings all year round. They Supply all the things you need to use for that day. My As you can see, I have pictures of four different seasons. The trails are always peaceful. You don't know what you may run into. So take your camera. Snap a few pictures. Most of all, respect the park, take your trash with you

Was there for Sunday Night Game. Vikings vs Falcons. This is a first class experience. Great stadium, friendly staff, great presentation and all around great time. Would have gave them a 5 star rating but, they need to follow Atlanta's example and lower their prices. $65 for parking, $80 for 4 beers, and the food was so expensive I didn't even bother.

Beautiful stadium! Seating was great, well marked, easy access. Lots of food and drink options. Large TV screens for replays. We were in level 2 and could see the field clearly. We enjoyed our whole experience. Helpful to know, bring a clear bag. The mini black bag I had that only held my cell phone was too big per their rules. Skip the hassle and just bring a small clear bag.

We went to a Vikings and Eagles game. We had a good time. This was our first time to this new stadium. It is built and laid out really well. Lots of bathrooms and lots of places to get something to eat. We parked about 10 minutes walk away. Parking was about $35 since it was event parking.

First time at the new stadium and it’s a big upgrade from the previous. Easy entry. Not far to walk from the entrance to the seating area. They have specific parking lots for each entrance and when you buy a ticket they tell you what entrance is best for you specifically. That was amazing. Parking is still expensive and so are tickets but if I’m talking about the stadium alone 5/5. Sounded great also! Went for McCartney (2025).

I visited U.S. Bank Stadium on October 19 to watch the Vikings take on the Eagles, it was an unforgettable experience. The stadium is absolutely stunning, from the outside the architecture alone is a sight to see, modern and impressive with sleek lines and a bold presence. Inside, the natural daylight pouring through the roof makes the whole space feel open and vibrant, adding to the excitement of game day. One thing that stood out was how well-designed the stadium is for fans. There were plenty of bathrooms and tons of places to grab food and beer, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable without long waits or hassle. But the best part of all? Being a Vikings fan in that sea of purple. Nothing beats joining in on the SKOL chant and hearing the Gjallarhorn echo through the stadium, it truly gives you chills. It’s a moment that makes you feel like part of something huge. U.S. Bank Stadium exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can’t wait to be back. SKOL! 🏈💜

We went for a Vikings game (shocking I know). The vibe at the games is unmatched. It’s such a fun experience. Most concessions take card only, so be aware of that. I never felt too hot or too cold during the game. The views are great, no matter your seat. Parking is a mess, as you’d expect. I’d recommend parking a few blocks away to try to get away from traffic and not pay an arms and a leg. Just walk it. You’ll be fine. Be ready to walk, the stadium is huge and it with the crowds it can take a while to get around. If you have the chance to go to a game, it’s definitely worth it.

Attending a Vikings game offers a unique and engaging experience, regardless of one's allegiance, making it a worthwhile activity for business travelers or vacationers. The atmosphere, including the "Skol" chant and the excitement following each score, is exhilarating. The fans are fun, and the stadium provides a vibrant and memorable setting, making it an excellent way to spend a Sunday.

Fun and inspired with the SPCO and their special guest Abel S.

The hall is a great place for a concert. The acoustics are great. The seats are comfortable and enough leg room for a tall person. I saw The Lamb of God oratorio the and it was exceptional!

Ted Mann Concert Hall, which is on the University of Minnesota campus, is a beautiful building with a world class sound stage and incredible acoustics. Navigating to the venue is a cinch as is parking which unfortunately isn't anywhere near free. Completely worth your time to see concerts, performances and/or events here! I look forward to returning to the hall and seeing more events soon!

I got to sing and perform here 4 years ago. It's a great recital hall, large and the acoustics are wonderful.

Good sound, bad management. Really need to get their act together and organize events better. Specifically, in regards to the 125th Anniversary of Band's Gala.

Wonderful! Truly enjoyed the entire concert! Thank you to all the talented musicians and their conductors!

Diverse clientel wonderful sounds

Nice park with a couple of soothing-to-the ear waterfalls and lots of benches. It’s near the popular and crowded Downtown Farmers Market. Off 5th Street in Lower Town, there’s music events happening in the stage, year round noon time in the park. Good for having lunch, walking your dog, or just chilling, while you gather your thoughts.

I love coming to Mears Park when they have events taking place, which is fairly often. I just went over the weekend to the Twin Cities Jazz festival being held here, and I had a great time here. The square shape of the park was a perfect setup for food trucks to line the streets around the park. They had two different stages playing music, and everything sounded great. My favorite food truck there was I-Pierogi. I had an excellent kielbasa there.

😊Always love this beautiful little gem, although we we're surprised to see Christmas decorations up yesterday which was St. Patrick's Day.🍀 Yesterday turned out to be a beautiful day for the awesome parade!🤩💚🥳☘️

Hep spot with hot tunes for the Jazz Fest. Food and drinks available with people getting in the groove

Dog-friendly, outdoor movie nights & concerts w/ food trucks, frequent site for wedding photographs, gorgeous fall foliage! The sound of flowing water, and the dappled shade from the birch trees makes this park feel pretty zen. Great place for walking your dog or meeting up with friends.

Nice live band and great food vendors during the jazz fest. The local bars and restaurants in the area have great food and excellent customer service. The drinks are very affordable and the food is great.

Just passed though while walking to a restaurant. Nice clean park area seemed like a nice place to sit and rest for a while in a city that seems to never stop moving

Very nice park, a decent amount of people there. Very peaceful. Kind of overshadowed by the airport, which is visible from the park. Good view of Saint Paul

This park has a lot to offer. Open fields, park benches, Pavilions, a playground, public restroom, even a wonderful scenic view of the city. The burial grounds can also be a great sight if your into it. One complaint I do have however is that there's an ugly tennis court with cracks everywhere, and grass growing all over the court. Compared to the rest of the park it just looks hideous. The city either needs to tear it down or renovate it. Aside from that you got yourself a nice park. This place seems ideal for family picnics, or short strolls.

Lovely park with an interesting group of people that you sometimes see at the end of the day on a summer night. Other than that there are very good views of the city of Saint Paul and is a nice place to just "let go" for a few minutes. Also fun to see the fireworks on the 4th. :)

So, I've been doing this thing since Daylight Savings time happened a few weeks ago, that I was going to try once a week (whether permitting) to go visit a spot in or around the Twin Cities and watch the sun set after work. This past week, I went to Indians Mound Park in St. Paul and was not disappointed. The park offers a unique view of the river and the city behind it - and it also boasts 6 prehistoric Indian burial mounds. It's pretty sweet. I'd like to go back in the spring or summer because there was still quite a bit of snow on the ground and I wasn't able to explore the park as much as I would've like. Overall, it looks well-kept and seems like I fun place to take in. As I drove down the hill, I was able to capture several other photos, and it brought pure joy to my heart to see that I wasn't the only one enjoying mother nature's work of art that evening.

Excellent spot to host events as well as just hangout with friends a d family. Great play ground for kids. Very clean and we'll take care of.

Such a beautiful place to walk and enjoy the nature and history inside of a major city. Hopefully they don't take away the trail like the proposed signs around!!

Great park for a walk or skyline view of the city! Playground, pavilions and basketball courts and grills too I think through out the park. A historic beautiful must see staple of St. Paul! Just took off 1 star for the rowdy crowds of kids that form at night doing shady stuff but cops roll through often to try an keep things safe and quiet!

Fantastic place for a festival. Really great open space plenty of room for lots of people stages music etc. St Paul and the yacht Club festival people really did a great job for setup security music and everything. I didn't even see one scuffle or any negative interaction the whole 3-day yacht Club festival weekend. The beer and food was a bit overpriced but you get that with any festival. Had a super great time and would definitely go back again.

Harriet Island regional park is always a great place to enjoy a relaxing stroll with the dogs. There are also many amenities available for all types of activities. They have barbecue grills, picnic tables, tons of green space to fly a kite or a game of frisbee. There is a well maintained playground for the kids too. The bike/walking trail runs through here. You can get just about anywhere in the metro on that trail. The paddleboats take off from here on wonderful river rides. They have midday rides that anyone can afford. As well as beautiful sunset rides for a romantic evening. We are all very lucky to have such a nice place right in the middle of our city.

It was a nice distance for walking and lake view. Issues come that the water is pretty polluted. Alot of trash and water around in corners. Smell of sewer or waste in the air. Great lawn space on the further end and food trucks on days.

Love walking here! Especially the day after a snowfall. The landscape and the view of downtown Saint Paul is stunning. The paths were clear for walking even in the winter. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful views and a great venue for festivals

Great park but good to go with a friend or at least don’t go alone. Lots of aggressive homeless that could scream at you or mess with you even by the river. I would avoid going here until they have actual police presence here. Very run down and sketchy

Well-organized event - Minnesota Yacht Club Festival, beautiful views of the rolling hills, great sound, easy to enter and exit with little to no bottlenecking. My biggest complaint: any employee that i asked about exits or Rideshare pickup, said they honestly had no idea 😣 This is a problem!

Hidden Falls Regional Park is a great place for a walk. I enjoyed strolling along the trails, and it's a popular spot for people to bring their dogs or go biking. The view of the Mississippi River from the walking trail is beautiful. There are a couple of parking lots, and I appreciated the seating available about every 20 minutes along the path. It can get a bit loud due to the nearby highway, but it's still a peaceful place to be. I didn’t see the hidden waterfall, but I still had a good time exploring the park.

It's absolutely beautiful. A great place to hike and take in stunning views. Picnic tables and grills if you want to have a picnic. Space for games if you choose to bring and play them. Also, right on the river which we all absolutely loved.

Hidden Falls Regional Park is a beautiful park, despite the failure to maintain and upkeep the park. The nature’s beauty outweighs most of the negatives of this park - it’s old trees, lush greenery, and soft sandy shores of the Mississippi grabbing one’s eye before the unacceptable amount of garbage within the trails can. More garbage cans need to be installed or more park workers need to maintain the trails. Better yet - people could stop littering. The porta pottys are also in disarray: two of which being closed and the last is nearly full to the toilet rim with feces and trash. No toilet paper included.

Beautiful park! Amazing views of the river and the hidden falls are incredible. The path up to the falls is lined with trees, flowers, and old stones. It feels like you're walking through a fantasy realm to find a hidden treasure. There are also lots of picnic tables and fields to play with friends. In particular the outdoor grill picnic area seemed super nice (plus the bathrooms nearby were quite well-maintained!) The trails are great to walk your dog—however, these are primarily dirt trails and can get rocky up near the falls so keep this in mind if you have mobility limitations. Overall amazing park and I hope to visit again soon to enjoy the falls in the other seasons! I highly recommend stopping by if you're out for some fresh air and some beautiful sights.

Beautiful, uncrowded, quiet path to a lovely waterfall. Park, picnic grounds, and the Mississippi are adjacent, along with a nice bike path.

I love this place! From whether I wanna geocache, walk my dog, swim, or go fishing I can do it all here good environment lots of land to explore I love to fish here!

Thoroughly enjoy The Ole Miss on this pathway along the river. The trees are knarly, too!

Beautiful, easy walk with lots of friendly families and birds. The hollowed-out trees are knarly!

Great trail for biking or walking. It's paved everywhere and shaded for the most part because it's under the trees 🌳 It connects to the river, which is a very pleasant treat!!

I like biking here. There are multiple trails once you get down the trail/walkway ways. Sometimes th water gets high and there's no way to get through but otherwise this is a beautiful park. It's accessible and convenient in my opinion. The parking lot is awkward and fairly small but I bike there so that's not an issue for me personally lol

I like this park. I really want to give it 5 stars, but to do so, the dock and the wooden bridge along the lake need to be fixed or rebuilt. It is possible to walk on it, but there is a part where it is tricky and a bit dangerous to cross the part where the bridge broke. Lots of interesting smaller landmarks to see. The lake is beautiful. Lots of birds and waterfowl to see. If you are lucky, you may see an eagle. The whispering hisses of katidids can also be heard along the trail late summer.

Hidden gem in St. Paul. Plenty of paved walking trails. And off pavement trails as well. Beautiful river views. Plenty of shade to walk in too.

It’s a nice typical Minnesota river park. It leads to the polluted river. Green in the summer and white in the winter. You can walk along the Mississippi River. The best part is the hidden part of the old farm. You got to find the access point. Scary but more unique and wild.

This is by far one of my favorite day hike in twin cities, Minnesota, for it is not too crowded and the distance is not too short with cool breeze and a mixture of nature of trees and rivers and view and let only almost completely away from the sounds of cars. You can bring snacks and hammock and enjoy the beauty the nature can offer without having to leave or drive far from home.
