We love taking guests to Schell's. We have been there several times - watching the peacocks and deer, shopping in the gift shop, having a beer outside with the various bands playing, it is all just fun! Also beautiful at Christmas when all the luminaries are lit through the gardens and up to the house. Everyone should see it at least once (or many times!).

Chimes and figures that rotate during the performance. The bells ring on the hour and the performance is a couple times in the afternoon. Located in a nice park with lots of benches.

We've camped here many, many times, but this time went for a day trip to enjoy some winter activities. What a treat to arrive and see the trails newly groomed for cross country skiing! We were there early and had the trails basically to ourselves. The park is large enough to enjoy yet small enough that we covered basically all the cross country trails. Then we went for lunch and returned to do the snowshoe trail which is just enough to pretty much tire us out for the rest of the day! The views are pretty, the trails manageable and the location right in New Ulm means there are some great options for food, etc..

After thinking about going to Morgan Creek for far too long we finally made it. It's set all by itself in a lovely spot and with the eats and drinks it's a terrific spot to spend some time. We went on Friday and classical German music was featured by the pianist plus a soprano and tenor. The little pizzas were very tasty and the featured wine was also. My wife had a bubbly apple juice that was also great. Now we are set to go again on a Saturday for the jazz. Go! It's fun and there were children in attendance with their parents. Most of the seating is outdoors but under cover. It looked like there was an indoor area also but we did not peek inside since it was a lovely evening. It's a bit off hi way 68 between New Ulm and Mankato. We did not attempt to purchase any wine to take home but surely that must be possible.
