The 10 Best Things to do in Cedar-Riverside, Minnesota (MN)

December 16, 2021 Sachiko Swiger

With its gleaming skyscrapers set amid glittering lakes, Minneapolis makes for an attractive and fun getaway. A truly year-round destination, the city offers activities for every season. In winter, one can explore the downtown area through more than seven miles of glass-enclosed skyways. In addition to keeping you warm, they create a lively thoroughfare filled with specialty shops, restaurants and services. Whether you want to escape the winter cold or the summer warmth, the Mall of America offers shopping, dining and entertainment options for any time of the year and every member of the family. Art lovers have plenty to see at the Minneapolis Art Institute, Walker Art Center and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, which all house world-renowned collections. The theater scene is thriving. With more than thirty theaters, Minneapolis has more seats per capita than any U.S. city except New York. See a Broadway show and enjoy dinner and live jazz at a fabulous restaurant. With kids in tow, check out the Science Museum of Minnesota, where visitors can produce their own video, or come face to face with a shark at the UnderWater Adventures Aquarium. In summer, the action moves outside. Known as "The City of Lakes," Minneapolis has 22 lakes located within city limits and many more in the surrounding area. In town, hordes of locals and tourists in-line skate or stroll around Lake Calhoun, stopping for ice cream along the way. Just outside of town, Fort Snelling State Park offers outdoor recreational activities from hiking to biking and golf to boating. No matter when you visit, Minneapolis offers lots for everyone to enjoy.

The Cedar

Reviewed By andersonjimh - Minneapolis, United States

Almost nobody is going to enjoy ever performer who plays the Cedar, but if the performers play the type of music you like, it will probably be great. Some shows are standing - usually bands - and some are seated - usually singer/songwriters. The Cedar has the best sound in the Twin Cities, and the audience usually pays attention and does not talk during the performance. It is mostly run by volunteers (including me) with a small paid staff. It's a great place to open your eyes to performers from Minnesota to Africa, and beyond.
