Destination overview

Renowned as the land of 10,000 lakes, famous for its vibrant arts scene and diverse itinerary of seasonal activities, Minnesota is the ideal vacation destination year round.

In the winter, the state comes alive with snow inspired fun. Climb a frozen waterfall, hit the slopes at a ski park, try your luck at ice fishing, zoom across the snow on a snowmobile or get rugged up for cocktail hour at an ice bar.

When the snow melts, explore the state forests on horseback, experience one of 11,842 lakes on a cruise or discover the canopy by zipline in Minnesota River Valley.

For inner-city sightseeing in the capital, visit Saint Paul’s Minnehaha Park, boasting cascading falls, bicycle paths and hidden gems at every corner. If you find yourself in Minneapolis, take your pick from live sport, feasting on delicious cuisine and fine wine or catching the latest theatre production.

There is no better destination to get off the beaten track.
