Intimate seating, you feel 'into the show' even if you are in the back row. Amphitheater style seating. Great little bar outside the theater where you can sit prior to the show. Refreshments are allowed in the theater but of course, be mindful to pick them up on your way out. I've really enjoyed the plays put on here, great casts - very friendly box office/refreshment personnel. Perfect off the beaten path theater for a night out in Cozy Anoka!

The entrance on Rockford Road is closed. Construction from Rockford Road to the Recreation Building including parking lot and playground.
The walking paths and lake access is still open.
Beware the goose droppings! Even after a 4" rainfall the walks along the lake were still covered in droppings.

The new brewery in Dinkytown had not been made yet, so this was the only one to go to. Honestly, not terribly impressive when it comes to the tour and facilities, unlike the new one that is finished by now. Nonetheless, you go to the brewery for the beverages and not to brag about architecture.
The beers are great and what more could you ask for? Cocoa bender was my favorite!

If you want a great value with high quality productions, direction and acting, you must check out Yellow Tree Theatre. They have had better productions and performances than other theatres in the marketplace. The Twin Cities is filled with 80 or more high quality theatres and this one is definitely in the top 3. You will love the cozy atmosphere, intimate seating so every seat in the house is a good seat!

nice stop on the the regional trail bike corridor. Small public area has clean restrooms, as well as machines for snacks. Several times, we have encountered volunteers with high powered telescopes showing the visitors great views of nesting eagles, etc. I particularly like standing on the wide, breezy bridge over the river, connecting the park areas on either shore of the Mississippi river. It is wide, allowing you to linger and enjoy the cool mist arising from the water, and being mesmerized by the rushing, bubbling water, and the roar of the dam.
Also, the Park offers summer programs for kids, exploring the wild, fishing, art, etc.

Very nice walking trails just a couple miles or so wonderful for getting close to nature. Even have bridges on the water (floating) you can walk over.

We were given a gift of a private pottery class for the two of us. We love trying new things and this was right up our alley. Ralph was our instructor. He’s both an excellent pottery artist and a terrific teacher. We’re actually quite surprised and delighted with how our projects turned out!

We took an adventure to the dam and walked around for about an hour. The grandchildren loved watching the water flow over the dam and crash below. It was a good way to spend time together. The bike and walking paths are great!
