Culture Places Map
Culture in Minneapolis:
Mall of America
Definitely check out the indoor amusement park, Nickelodeon Universe. It's a blast, but I advise getting your tickets online in advance to skip the lines.
Theater Guthrie
Mississippi National River and Recreation Area
I recommend exploring the Wells Fargo Place for its amazing architecture, but don’t forget to bring your camera. The views from the area are just stunning and you’ll want to capture the moments.
Walker Art Center
My advice is to take your time with the exhibits, especially the immersive ones. I felt rushed at first, but slow down and actually soak everything in—it makes a world of difference.
I suggest visiting on a Thursday evening when they have free admission from 5 to 9 PM. It was super crowded but totally worth it for the price!
Stone Arch Bridge
Basilica of Saint Mary
I recommend showing up around 9 AM when they open. The crowd was much thinner, which made it easier to soak in the stunning architecture without distractions. Plus, early sunlight through the stained glass is breathtaking!
My advice is to take some time to wander the surrounding gardens after your visit. It’s a peaceful spot and gives you a great view of the basilica from a distance. Don't rush out right after!
Municipal Mill Museum
I think taking the time to watch the documentary about the mills is worth it; it adds so much context to the whole experience.
The American Swedish Institute
Try the café there! I got a traditional Swedish pastry that was delish. I think it’s a great way to take a techational break during your visit.
