During your Minneapolis vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Walker Art Center/Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
Shut for a year due to expansion work, the Walker Art Center will reopen in early 2005 with nearly twice its original space for exhibiting edgy, contemporary art: paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, and multimedia installations. The renovation will add a new restaurant, cafe, and gift shop. Across Vineland Place is the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the largest urban sculpture garden in the country. A variety of 20th-century sculpture shares space with horticultural plantings, including the famous "Spoonbridge and Cherry." Allow 2 hours for both.
Minnesota Zoo
You'll see most of the exotic animals you expect at the 485-acre Minnesota Zoo, including tigers, camels, dolphins, and monkeys. But this zoo includes an especially nice array of North American animals, including wolves, bison, pumas, and wolverines. During the summer the zoo's working Wells Fargo Family Farm engages visitors with hands-on exhibits and teaches how food travels from the farm to the grocery store shelves. There's also an IMAX theater, and a monorail offering great aerial views. Allow 2 hours.
Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum
The Weisman Art Museum on the University of Minnesota campus sits on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River. You won't miss the trademark Frank Gehry-designed building, its metallic, fluid form gleaming in the sunlight. The building's architecture is probably the best part of the exhibit -- the permanent collection inside is rather small. Canvases by Warhol and Lichtenstein share gallery space with other American artists from the early 20th century. Allow 30 minutes to an hour.
Nicollet Island Inn
Just across from the Mississippi River, this lovely inn was once an 1893 window shade and blind company; it was converted into an inn in the 1970s. The individually decorated rooms are furnished with offbeat originality; all rooms offer VCRs and freshly baked cookies, and some have Jacuzzis. The Nicollet Island Inn Restaurant is highly recommended (as are reservations), featuring contemporary American cuisine and a selection of over 350 wines; it also serves an excellent Sunday brunch ($26 adult, $13 children ages 6-12, free for children 5 and under). Ask about weekend B&B packages.
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.
Saint Paul Hotel
This beautiful, exquisitely decorated hotel, housed in a 1910 building, makes for a great romantic getaway. The historic property has welcomed many a famous guest over the years, including Calvin Coolidge and Ma Barker. A number of rooms offer great views; all are decorated in elegant European style and feature Aveda toiletries. The hotel is famous for its afternoon tea and the landmark St. Paul Grill.
