Do you feel like a game of golf on a championship course? Or perhaps you’d prefer an afternoon fishing on the Mississippi. How about a water park for you and the kids? You could take in a game. Or take a hike in one of our many parks. Then there are museums, theaters, fairs, festivals and dozens of other ways to spend your time.

In fact, at Visit Minneapolis North, there are so many places to play and things to do, it’s a shame that there are only 24 hours in a day.

Is your idea of a perfect day finding just the right pair of shoes (and the dress, hat, purse and belt to go with them?) Are three of your favorite words cash or charge?

And with no tax on clothing or shoes(!), the state of Minnesota, along with the Visit Minneapolis North area is a retail destination you don't want to miss!
