2. Lupulin Brewing

The Lupulin Red is my new favorite breakfast. Just kidding, but it really is amazing. It'll be the perfect brew for summer--forget your wimpy shandies and go for a growler of the Red! They've got others, too, and there's good reason this place is my son-in-law's favorite. You can order food from other places and eat it whilst you quaff your favorite Lupulin brew. Enjoy!

Collector cars, gas pumps, memorabilia and grounds.
Reviewed By Peggy B - Edina, Minnesota
Lots of eye candy for the guys, beautifully restored old cars, 55 chevys, dozens of old restored gas pumps, some pedal cars, gas station signs and memorabilia. I loved the old glass vases, the glass shift knobs and the glass cigarette ash trays from the old luxury cars. There is a beautiful space for picnics, so take your Cub Scout troup or your baseball team, etc. for an outing. It's a short drive from the cities. Don't miss it!

Reviewed By romadaro - Washington, DC
This outlet center has a nice collection of stores with great merchandise but it's just too spread out. Whoever designed this thing did a horrible job as you literally have to drive to each section or walk a mile to and from your car. Plus, it's separated by a busy thoroughfare. I just don't get it. But, we just happened upon it on our drive from Minneapolis to St. Cloud and ended up finding a lot of great buys and brand name stores that you don't find at many other outlet centers (North Face and UGG, in particular).

6. Pebble Creek Golf Course
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
18 Hole Championship Course and 9 Hole Local 9 for families and beginners. Great practice facilities, fun relaxed place to play golf and hang out. Food and all the best beverages available.
Reviewed By 1960Corvette - Fernandina Beach, Florida
Pebble Creek is above average for difficulty. It has wide open fairways on many holes so errant drives can be recovered from with a good second shot. There is water on several holes and enough sand traps to keep you honest. The greens are in good shape, but the tee boxes could use a little attention. After rains, there are a couple holes that can be soggy with no carts allowed on the fairways, so keep that in mind if walking is an issue. The course is actually three nines. Play the blue and white 9s.
The clubhouse is nice with a good selection of drinks and food. Service can be a little slow, but generally is friendly.
Overall, it's probably one of the better values on the Northwest side of the Metro.

Home to the Blandings turtle, a threatened species, the rolling terrain of this scenic park is perfect for hikers, backpackers, horseback riders and cross-country skiers.
Reviewed By Monticello C
This state park has a natural and secluded setting that isn't over populated with users. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on the trails. Horseback riding is allowed in this park. It has lakeside settings as well as beautiful wooded hiking trails. Wonderful colors in fall. You can also make good use of winter time activities here including snow shoes, country country skiing and event winter campi sites can be rented. Off the beaten track and only 8 miles from the I-94 Interstate Exit #195 in Monticello.
8. inFIT's HDGolf Simulator
Overall Ratings
5 based on 5 reviews
inFIT’s HDGolf Simulator is a one-of-a-kind experience. It’s so real, you’d think you’re playing the real thing. Almost ALL other simulators use computer generated images to produce their pixelated, blurry screens. HDGolf uses real images, taken by real people, that are then transferred to a computer for your enjoyment! You’ll see live animals, carts, sometimes people, leaves, footprints in bunkers and many more. Combine that with our spacious room with your own TV and you got yourself a regular man cave.
Reviewed By Derrick S
I didn't know what to expect going to InFIT the first time. I was very impressed at how easy the simulator was to use and the wide variety of courses available. My son made great use of the Club Comparison to dial in distances on...MoreDerrick, thank you so much for the incredible review! We hope you and your son are able to make it back into our simulator very soon!

Osowski's Flea Market in Monticello, MN has been making improvements this year. They have both indoor and outdoor vendors but on different days. Indoor only on Sat. 8-3 and indoor and outdoor on Sun. 8-3. They also have fun foods inside the building like corn dogs and mini-donuts but also have great hamburgers and fries.

I found out from the owner that the seasonal hours are (weather permitting) from approx. late-April thru summer and ending about mid-October.
