Family Fun

From 54 foot high rollercoasters in a mall to over 180 parks in the city.

Put away the cell phones and video games. We have better ways to play. Spend all day cruising and splashing at the Mall of America or playing mini golf the Sculpture Garden. Pack a picnic and head to Minnehaha Falls. Take a beach day at Bde Maka Ska. Cheer on your favorite team in our spectacular new stadiums. Catch a play at the renowned Children’s Theatre. Or get hands-on at the Science Museum. This is family fun defined the Minneapolis way.
