With the arrival of warmer weather, its only natural to focus on outdoor activities for your summertime staycation, but fresh-air fiends can combine some culture with your walkabouts by visiting one of these local treasures in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The folks at Meet Minneapolis have a great article on museums where you can take the whole family. Museums aren’t the dreary halls of mind-numbing artifacts that only the hoplessly nerdy enjoy. Today, museums focus on engaging the audience and instilling an interest in their particular field. You’re sure to find yourself having a soul-satisfying experience, and you’ll broaden the horizons of your kids, too! Speaking of children, I’d suggest starting with the kid-friendly Minnesota Children’s Museum in St. Paul where they can touch and play without constantly being scolded.
