Things to do in Saint Paul, Minnesota (MN): The Best Concerts & Shows

December 7, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Saint Paul has been called the last city of the East primarily because early developers built it to fit Eastern standards: city squares or parks, towers and turrets, lofty arches, Baroque domes and elaborate adornments abound. Ideal for families and those who like to explore on foot, the capital of Minnesota offers big city attractions with small town manageability. It's an easy and scenic stroll along the banks of the Mississippi River from the Children's Museum to the Science Museum. The kids (and the young at heart) will love them both. Nearby are the grandiose State Capitol, designed by esteemed architect Cass Gilbert and the historic Como Park, which includes lovely picnic areas, a zoo and a conservatory. Also in the mix are modern museums, stately old mansions, interesting natural wonders and unique shops to browse around. Be sure to check out the stellar collection of contemporary works by local artists at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. From four-star luxury to affordable and family-friendly, Saint Paul offers a variety of lodging and dining possibilities making it a great destination for all tastes and budgets.

Ordway Center for the Performing Arts

Reviewed By paulaP6136LY - Hudson, United States

My wife and I attended a CMA Songwriters event recently. It was my first visit to this beautiful theater. The location is downtown St. Paul, easily accessible by car or mass transit (train/bus), and there are a number of parking garages nearby. We had dinner at one of the many local great restaurants and then walked the short distance to the show. The staff was excellent and made access very quick and easy. There were many beverage stations, so wait time was short and you could bring your beverage into the theater, which some don't allow. The event was wonderful and exit was easy as well. I would certainly recommend the venue for any future events.
