Things To Do
Reverie Cafe + Bar
Vegan comfort food! Great vibes and by a cute park (Powderhorn! <3). Very allergen friendly, brunch and dinner are both excellent.
Paisley Park
Prince’s iconic home, recording studio, and performance venue. Paisley Park is now run by his estate, and when you visit you get an in depth guided tour. If you have not been and have an afternoon to spare, this is a must-see! Make sure if you’d like to visit, that you secure tickets in advance (time slots can fill out quickly). Pro Tip: this one is only a 5 minute drive from where the post-wedding brunch will be!
Five Watt Coffee
A third wave coffee chain local to the Twin Cities, this spot gets ☆☆☆☆☆ from Hails! Need we say more?
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden & Walker Art Center
An iconic Minneapolis destination! The sculpture garden outside is free and open to the public and a pedestrian bridge connects the garden to Loring Park. Day passes can be purchased for the Walker Art Center, which features contemporary artists!
Mill City Farmers Market
This farmer's market takes place every Saturday from 8am-1pm.
Lake of the Isles
This spot has beautiful nature and gorgeous architecture. You can enjoy walking around the lake, rent kayaks/paddle boarding from Bde Maka Ska Lake closeby, or go to Isles Bun for delicious cinnamon rolls.
Cecil's Deli
The best potato salad in town! Also highly recommend getting their egg bagels.
Minneapolis Institute of Art (MIA!)
This art museum is open 365 days a year, and has an extensive collection that can keep you occupied for hours. It is always free to attend (the vast majority of) the MIA, and they also have a few additional exhibits that can be viewed with paid admission.
Can Can Wonderland - St. Paul
The most funky, silly, fun mini golfing you'll ever do, seriously. If you like mini golf, go here!!
Hola Arepa
Delicious food, great atmosphere, unique drinks. Hailey's sister Lauren is the biggest fan, and we all highly recommend getting extra yucca fries.
Mother Co., Plants
Plant shop! This spot has greenery small and large, and we like to go and just see how beautifully things are growing.
Marjorie McNeely Conservatory
We love to go to the gardens! The bonsai trees are Sarah's favorite, and there is a mix of indoor and outdoor gardens to enjoy. It is free to attend.
Pryes Brewing Company
This brewery features fruit forward beers (although IPA fans will find enjoyable things here as well) and a lovely patio space with a view of the Mississippi and downtown. This spot is also a short drive or bike ride from the Ogden Bird residence and wedding venue. They also have delicious food options.
