Great Spring Activities in Minnesota
Sea Salt at Minnehaha Falls
Make sure to grab your camera, the Minnehaha Falls are beautiful. This is one place that we frequent in the Summer. It's a great spot to bring out of town guests too. My husband grabs a beer and waits in line for Sea Salt. I take the kids to run around while we wait. Food, Music, A small Hike near the falls & finish it off with an ice cream cone! Perfect Spring Evening!

Minnesota Landscape Arboretum
The delightful promise of spring has arrived, and with it comes the chance to get out in nature, explore, and see the Arboretum literally come to life a little more each day. 32,000 early spring bulbs were planted in large groupings last fall for a showier spring than ever before.
