Minnesota

Minnesota is home in the northern Midwestern United States sharing borders with Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, and the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario. Minnesota is known for its extreme temperature ranges from -60 degrees Fahrenheit in winder and 114 degrees in summer.

Minnesota has literally something for everyone from art to casinos, from parks to golf, from outdoor adventures to museums, and from wineries to great shopping experiences. As you look at the many opportunities that await in Minnesota, you will be able to plan a vacation and see all the things that will make your time in Minnesota one to remember.

When it comes to art, the most popular places to see include the Mile Lacs Indian Museum & Trading Post in Onamia, Minnesota History Center in St. Paul, and Clay Coyote Gallery in Hutchinson. If you have children, then you are sure to want to check out the amusement parks and zoos in Minnesota such as Two Rivers Campground & Tubing in Royalton, Summerland Family Fun Park in St. Cloud, Waseca Water Park in Waseca, and Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo in Byron. For the adults that want to try their luck with a one armed bandit you can always visit Fond-du-Luth Casino in Duluth, Seven Clans Casino in Warroad, Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, or White Oak Casino, to name a few.
