Top Nature in Minnesota

Grab a snack from one of the nearby cafes before heading in. It's way cheaper than the overpriced stuff inside the park. You can save a few bucks!

Don't forget to bring a camera for the falls. I missed some great shots because I was too busy just enjoying the moment. Capture those beautiful views, trust me

If you're going for a hike, I'd recommend starting early, around 8 AM. The trails are much less crowded, and you get to enjoy the views with fewer people around.

Keep your camera ready when it's sunny. You might catch a rainbow in the mist! That said, I suggest bringing a towel or an extra shirt if you get too close; I got soaked and it was kinda chilly!

Check out the trails! I almost missed them because I was just focused on the waterfall but the paths around are beautiful and totally worth the time. Wear good shoes tho, some spots can be a bit slippery.

Bring your own snacks and drinks! There’s a lovely picnic area nearby, and buying food there can get kinda expensive. Plus, it’s nice to relax by the water with a packed lunch.

Get there early, like around 8 AM. The morning light is stunning for photos and you won't have to deal with big crowds yet. Trust me, it makes everything more enjoyable.

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.

For the best photo ops, go during the golden hour. I missed it and regretted not getting those dreamy sunset shots – seriously, it's worth it!

I recommend visiting early in the morning, like around 8 AM. The park is way less crowded, and you can really take your time enjoying the sculptures without feeling rushed

Check out the trail around the lake early in the morning. I went around 8 AM and it was super peaceful and less crowded!

If you want to rent a kayak or paddleboard, do it early, like before noon. The lines get long, and you’ll want to enjoy the water!

I think you should grab a snack at the cafe, but maybe skip the pizza. It was kinda pricey and not great. There are also some good spots nearby if you wanna eat out after!

I recommend visiting right when they open at 10 AM. It wasn't super packed, and you get to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, the staff seemed more available to chat and answer questions.

I think it's a good idea to bring a packed lunch. There aren't many food options nearby and picnicking in the park is lovely!

If you like photography, don't miss the stone staircases and old machinery. I suggest bringing a good camera or even your phone—trust me, the pics will come out amazing!
