Minnesota Horse and Hunt Club

Try to get there by 9 AM. It gets busy, and starting early means you'll have more time to enjoy the outdoors without feeling rushed.
If you're not into hunting, check out their horse riding options. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the scenery and a lot of fun if you’re with friends!
Sandstone Ice Park

Don't forget to pack snacks and water. There aren’t many places to buy food once you’re out there, and trust me, you’ll be hungry after climbing!

You gotta grab your gear early! I got mine the night before, and it made a huge difference in skipping lines in the morning. The rental place can get packed real quick.

If you're planning to take photos, bring a good camera or your phone with a waterproof case. The scenery is stunning, and you don't want to miss capturing those moments.
NE Moose Bar & Grill

I recommend checking if they have any live music before your visit. I went on a night with a band and it really made the experience more fun.

I suggest trying their happy hour deals, which are from 4-6 PM. I saved a bunch on drinks and snacks. Don't miss their wings; they're legit.

If you're a fan of craft beer, talk to the bartenders about their local options. I found a couple of brews that aren’t on the menu yet, which was super cool!

my advice is to check out their dart boards. i didn't realize they run leagues! great vibe, just make sure to grab a spot early during busy times.
Brainerd International Raceway

I recommend buying tickets online in advance to save a few bucks and skip the long lines, trust me, it's no fun waiting around!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks; the food stalls can be a bit pricey and you don't wanna miss any of the races waiting in line!

If you're into the nitty-gritty, I suggest checking out the pits; you can get up close to the cars and bikes which adds to the thrill of the day!
Target Field

If you’re driving look for parking farther away from the stadium. I found street parking just a 10-minute walk away for way cheaper than the lots right next to Target Field!

I suggest arriving at least an hour early before the game starts. It gives you time to find parking and grab some food without rushing. Plus, you can soak in the pre-game atmosphere!

I think you should take advantage of the Twins app for deals. I found some great discounts on food and merch while I was there, which helped me save a bit!

Don’t miss the roof! It's an awesome spot for pictures, and honestly, the city skyline looks amazing from up there. I wish I had spent more time enjoying that view!
Williams Uptown Pub & Peanut Bar

I think it’s worth playing a game of darts while you’re there. The boards are well-maintained, plus it's a fun way to mingle with locals and other visitors.

I recommend getting there right after happy hour, around 6 PM. The drink specials are solid, and you can snag a good spot before it gets crowded

if you can, avoid sunday nights. it was super loud and packed when i went, which made it hard to relax and enjoy my time.

My advice is to try the peanuts—they're free and they really hit the spot with a cold beer! Just be careful not to get too carried away and overdo it.
Target Center

Bring a portable charger! You’ll want to take a lot of photos, and the outlets aren’t always easy to find.

If you want a quick bite, head outside to the local food trucks pre-game. Much cheaper and tastier than the snacks inside.
Xcel Energy Center

I think using public transit is the way to go! Parking can get super crowded and pricey, but the light rail drops you off really close to the entrance and it was easy to use.

If you're looking to save a few bucks, my advice is to bring a clear bag for personal items. They allow that and it'll help you skip the security line hassle.
19 Bar

I suggest checking out the patio if the weather’s nice. It's a super fun spot to hang out, but gets packed as the night goes on.

If you're into darts, try to get there before 8 PM when it starts getting busy. More dartboards to use and you won’t wait long!

definitely check out their happy hour from 4 to 7 pm—great drinks and a chill vibe. you can save some cash while getting into the scene!

Be friendly and chat with the staff; they’re super knowledgeable about the menu and any events coming up. You might score some insider tips on the local scene.
Nickelodeon Universe

Grab a snack or two at the food court before you dive into rides. I found eating in the park can be pricy, but quick bites help save some cash.

Don't skip the character meet-and-greets! They were actually super fun, and my kids loved it. Just plan ahead 'cause lines can get long.

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 10am. You'll beat the crowds and have shorter lines for the rides! Totally worth it.

If your kids are tall enough, try out the roller coasters earlier in the day. I suggest going straight to the rides to avoid later waits.
