During your Minneapolis vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Minnesota History Center
An impressive array of artifacts is housed in this three-story museum, including photographs, music, and videos, much of it designed for hands-on learning and all of it celebrating Minnesota history. Kids especially enjoy sitting in the re-created basement of a Minnesota farmhouse while a simulated tornado passes overhead. Avoid weekday mornings if you don't like to tour with school groups. Allow 1 1/2 hours.
Historic Fort Snelling
This living history museum commemorates the establishment of a fort here in the wilderness in 1819 by Col. Josiah Snelling and his troops, who opened the area for homesteaders. Costumed guides are the focus of a living history reenactment during the summer months, re-creating the activities of everyday army life during the 1820s. Allow 1 to 2 hours.
Cathedral of St. Paul
Built in 1915 on the highest point in the city, this cathedral is one of the largest in the country. A replica of St. Peter's in Rome, the building boasts a newly restored 175-foot-high copper dome, a massive rose window, and granite-and-travertine construction. Allow 30 minutes.
Best Western Kelly Inn
This older, plain facility is a good bet for families on a tight budget -- the affordable inn features basic but comfortable accommodations. All of the city's downtown attractions are less than a mile away and an indoor pool means there's always something fun to do, whatever the weather. Some rooms offer scenic views and some units have whirlpools.
Radisson Riverfront St. Paul
Located downtown, overlooking the Mississippi River, the Radisson is topped by the Twin Cities' only revolving restaurant. The hotel's second-floor patio offers a nice river view, and the majority of the comfortable guest rooms offer views as well. Make sure to request an upper or corner room -- the others tend to be noisy.
Minneapolis Marriott City Center
Conveniently located in the heart of downtown, this facility adjoins the three-story City Center shopping mall and is within walking distance of the Target Center and much of the city's nightlife. The hotel caters to the convention crowds and the rooms are standard business hotel issue. The staff is friendly and attentive.
