What is there to do and see in Minnesota?
Paddle Voyageurs National Park
Voyageurs National Park is a pristine wilderness area that combines natural beauty with history. This mainly backcountry park, accessed primarily by water or air, is a wonderful place for canoeing, boating, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits.
The park is remote and offers great opportunities to see wildlife, such as bears, moose, loons, and much more. Historically, this area was important during the fur trade, when the French-Canadian Voyageurs traveled these waters in huge birch bark canoes.
International Wolf Center
The International Wolf Center near Ely is an educational center that supports and promotes the survival of wolves. Hands-on exhibits, demonstrations of wolf tracking methods, and all kinds of information on wolves is presented.
The Mall of America
Located on the outskirts of St. Paul, in the suburb of Bloomington, is the Mall of America. When it opened in 1992, it was one of the largest malls in the United States. In addition to more than 500 shops and dozens of restaurants, the facility includes theaters, hotel accommodation, and other amusements.
More than 400 events happen at the mall each year, ranging from dance parties to Minnesota Viking fans celebrations. Numerous “Stay and Shop” packages can be booked with nearby hotels.
