Top 10 Things to do in Hamline-Midway, Minnesota (MN)
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.

My husband and I took our adult children to give Axe throwing a try, we did the one hour time block that worked great for our group of 6. Todd was very helpful making the reservations, Ben our Lumberjack was great we had a lot of fun, we played boys against the girls and girls lost so I guess we will have to go back for a rematch.

This was a great place to visit. We highly recommend this place. We tood our grandson who loved it. But both my wife and I said we should go back ourselves. It was fantastic. The big train layout was from the old MIlwaukee Train Depot from decades ago. There are numerous additions to see also, including a large train layout with a mountain and town made out of legos. It is very easy to spend a couple hours enjoying the exhibits. Again, we highly recommend this museum.

Step right up to an experience unlike any other. Artist-designed mini golf (indoors!). Vintage arcade games. Delicious eats. Boozy malts. Live performances. Art. Private events. It’s all waiting to amaze. Come on in, let’s have some fun.

Definitely a gem in the Saint Paul area. Very cool to see the local artists come together and create this unique experience for people of all ages. It was also really nice to have the arcade machines available as you waited for your turn on the mini golf course. And at the end, there are many options to try different beers, or even to try one of their popular cereal flavored shakes.
