With its gleaming skyscrapers located between colorful lakes, Minneapolis is perfect for an interesting and fun weekend. The city offers activities in all seasons, so it truly is a destination for the entire year. In winter, the center can be visited without problems thanks to the more than seven miles of glass overpasses, in addition to avoiding the cold, creating a lively promenade filled with shops, restaurants and services.
Whether fleeing the winter cold and summer heat, the America Mall offers shopping, dining and entertainment at any time of year for all family members. Art lovers have much to do at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Walker Art Center and Art Museum Frederick R. Weisman, home to world-famous collections.
The theater district always boils activity. With more than thirty theaters, Minneapolis has more seats per capita than any other U.S. city, after New York. Attend a Broadway show and enjoy dinner with live jazz at a fabulous restaurant. Visit with the children the Science Museum of Minnesota, where visitors can produce their own video or face to face with a shark at Underwater Adventures Aquarium.
