Summertime Fun in the Twin Cities - InteGrand
The Midwest is known for some of the most fun and exciting summers in the country. County fairs, concerts, festivals and more cover the area and we’re in the center of it all. We’ll see you out at some of these family-friendly summer events:
Friday morning at the Castle: Arrive at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis on Fri., June 17 and enjoy a morning of visual play, storytelling, music and movement inspired by various ASI exhibits. The event will go from 11 a.m. to noon and cost of attendance is only $5 per family. Recommended for young children with imaginations that are ready to be inspired.
Family & Friends Fun Day: Ever wanted to experience a vintage village complete with blacksmiths, woodworkers, and horse-drawn buggies? Then go to the Dakota City Heritage Village on July 22, when they will be hosting tours with no need to schedule in advance. Enjoy a picnic on the grounds and play vintage games with the villagers! The tours are 90 minutes long and begin every half hour between10 a.m. and noon. Check it out here.
$4 Sundays at the Great River Water Park: Located in St. Paul, the Great River Water Park offers an eight-lane lap pool, water aerobics, a children’s activity pool, water slides, a cozy sauna, plenty of food and even a party room! The water park is offering $4 admission per person on Sundays, so you and your family can enjoy an inexpensive day having fun in the sun. Take a look at the Facebook page for more info.
Muckfest: Here’s something that’s not only fun, but for a good cause! On August 20th from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m., Muckfest will be hosting a mud run requiring nothing except sneakers, a sense of humor, and perhaps a heart rate watch if you’re curious. It’ll cost you to play, but 100% of fundraising dollars will be going to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Visit the Facebook event page for more.
Skyline Mini Golf: Looking for a day out that involves drinking, eating and playing mini-golf on a rooftop in Minneapolis? The Walker Art Center is hosting its annual mini-golf event on the roof of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Enjoy live music and a guaranteed good time from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. every Thursday until September 4th.
We hope you are able to make the most of your summer here in the activity-filled Midwest!
