The Money Life Network [1] has a series called “Frugal things to do when you’re in…“ featuring free or cheap things to do.
From the Minneapolis-St. Paul list [2]:
- Lake Calhoun [3]: A great place to go for the day to enjoy some sun, a canoe ride, maybe some beach volleyball and a nice walk around the 3+mile lake. It is the place to see and be seen in the summer months (FREE)
- Minnehaha Falls [4]: The falls are a natural wonder, and definitely a must visit for shutterbugs. In the area surrounding you can take nice long walk from the falls down to the Mississippi river. Beautiful! (FREE)
- Minnesota Landscape Arboretum [5]: A 1,047-acre garden and arboretum about 20 minutes outside of Minneapolis. Because of it’s natural beauty this is often a chosen as a great spot for weddings and for just getting some great pictures. (15 and under free, $7 adults. Free all day Thursday in the winter, and free on Thursday evenings from 4.30 p.m. until 8 p.m. or sunset in the summer)
- Lyndale Park Rose Gardens at Lake Harriet [6]: Lake Harriet in south Minneapolis has a beautiful Rose Garden that has been blooming every year since 1907-1908. It’s a popular place for weddings, photography and peaceful reflection. If you’re going to Lake Calhoun anyway, stop by the Rose Gardens, it is just a short walk away. Also, right across the street is a beautiful Japanese Gardens (FREE)
Also on the list, Como Zoo [7], MOA [8], Marjorie McNeely Conservatory [9], Sculpture Garden [10], MIA [11], food, sports, museums, etc. etc. Full list here [2].
