Hi my husband and l are coming to stay in Minneapolis for 3 weeks in June 08 can you recommend things to do

visit from uk

You are coming at the best time of year. We are cold here most of the time so when Summer is upon us everyone gets excited and happy. As for what to do. Of course I%26#39;m sure you%26#39;ve heard of the Mall of America. Get your dose of American excess commercialism, it%26#39;s still fun. The arts and theater scene here is very big. The new Guthrie Theater is a great new modern venue. See a show or stop for drinks and the view over the river. Many other theaters: State, Ordway, Pantages, etc. offer great shows. The new Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden have a wonderful collection of modern and POP art. A stroll around Lake Calhoun and the Uptown area to people watch or rent a canoe on Lake of the Isles is how many of us spend our Summer weekends. St. Paul, modern Minneapolis%26#39; more historic sister city, offers: The History Center, Science Center and Omni Theater. Also check out http://www.citypages.com for current events. Enjoy your visit!

enjoy - there%26#39;s alot you can do here

I have just had my friends from England here and they wanted to help see ';REAL';America they were here for 2 weeks.They did all the Mall of America the downtown dining.I made plans to bring them ';UP North'; our state has the most beautiful northern region..I would suggest seeing the ';North Shore area. get a cabin on Lake Superior after you are done seeing the city. it will be a great way to relax.try to spend about 5 days up there. The ';UP NORTH'; trip was the favorite part of my friends trip here, they are from Helston,Cornwall, They want to come back and spend a whole week up there next time.

Contact me with any questions I can help with..BTW Im going to Cornwall,UK in 50 days to see them.Maybe you have some ideas for me there

Hi Thank You for your reply you will love Cornwall it is very beautiful you will find the road very small we call them country lanes just wide enough for one car you must have a cream tea it may still be cold l would bring a jumper or two but it is a good time as the blossom will be out take a trip to the scilly isle it is warmer there and very beautiful

the eden centre is also worth going to it is like garden%26#39;s under big golf balls %26#39;michaels mount.and lizard%26#39; in fact it is all beautiful it would be worth going to Devon you can go to Dartmoor to see the oldest prison on the moor it is still in use today and Widdicomme is worth the visit you must of cause go to a Tin Mine in Cornwall Remember that that the roads are much smaller and it will take longer to do a trip than it would for you to do one in USA There are lots of standing stone etc from prehistoric times you will find lots of thing to in Cornwall if you fine Devon is too far Plymouth is nearer if you like Naval things they have big docks lots to see email me if you need any more help look on Google earth to see places to go Dont for get Lands end have a good trip like you l am counting the days till my visit 88 days for me bye

Thank you all for you quick replies we have booked several trips and are booking to see a Baseball game

We have found the addresses you all gave us very helpful we will make the most of our visit to your country, Thamk You all once again
