This park has plenty of trees and picnic areas with bar-b-ques. There is a nice sandy beach that is shallow enough for small children to play in. There are showers and bathrooms.

A nice outdoor shopping area. Lots of decent stores, but the parking lots are a little tight and winding around. It is a nice clean shopping area
5. OMNI Brewing Co.

Reviewed By TryppAdams - Minneapolis, Minnesota
I stopped in here on my Minnesota tap room tour. They were crowded with a few "parties" or large groups of people, some playing games and sampling beers. The crowd kind of had a mix of girls dressed up to guys in camo. I got a flight of 4 for $10 and thought their secretly decent brew was the Sangria Parti - a combination of Sangria and Sour but not so sour you pucker. It was very drinkable and great for making a female friendly beer. The taproom isn't huge, so if a party shows up seating can be difficult, but the crowd seemed to rotate allowing for seats to open up shortly. They have table top shuffle board and a food truck from Market BBQ while I was there. Fun stop, good local taproom but not sure i would drive across town for it... if I was in the grove, I'd stop in again though.

We visited the Hindu temple for a family holiday activity based on a friend's recommendation. Every member of our extended family thoroughly enjoyed the visit. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and a great guide. We all found his 90 minute tour fascinating. I highly recommend this tour as family activity or for individuals wishing to have a short introduction to the Hindu religion.

The key to success at this spectacular course is a strong drive.
Reviewed By jarrodpeterson - Maple Grove, Minnesota
This is a very nice course in the Twin Cities. Holes are challenging, greens are tough and the scenery is beautiful - country with an upscale feeling. The clubhouse is beautiful. I find staff very accommodating to the locals aand regulars, not sure how they would be for visitors or first timers.
They have a great pro golf staff and training facility. Driving Rangge is very nice!
The clubhouse is recently remodeled - very nice bar.

This pool is MUCH smaller than expected. Kids were bored in an hour. You have to have a room at the hotel for approximately 200/night so you are better off making the trip to Wisconsin Dell's or the Water Park of America when it opens....MoreWe are sorry to learn of your experience with us. We appreciate the feedback and have shared it with our entire team
10. Wild Bill's Sports Saloon-Maple Grove
Overall Ratings
4 based on 8 reviews
Reviewed By Manycruises - Maple Grove
A lively crowd fills the restaurant to eat and watch sports events on wall to wall TV's which line the walls near the ceiling everywhere in the restaurant. Families with children enjoy the food and atmosphere along with the fairly young adult crowd. The food is average and leans toward fake south-of-the-border, but it is edible and fairly good. Happy hour is usually crowded and overflows to an outdoor patio with a lighted fireplace in warm weather. Saturdays at 1:00 p. m., there is a standing room crowd for BINGO. If you want to enjoy watching sports events with family or friends and aren't too fussy about what you eat, this is a fun place to go.
