Minneapolis, MN 55415
(612) 373-3333
Category:
Public Transportation
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
This is more than just a Light Rail Transit Station, it contains a great, large outdoor plaza with one of the best Skyline views in the city (see photo). I think this is one of thee best and most safest places to sit on a bench and take in the city…More »

(612) 370-4772

Parks
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
Elliot is Downtown's 2nd largest park, I've heard that this is actually the oldest park in Downtown Minneapolis. The park has some really large Oak Trees that probably date to when it was built almost 130 years ago.Those majestic trees line a huge…More »

Coolest library I've ever been in, this review is a long overdue one for me. I've never reviewed it since it's such a great place that I wanted to make sure I didn't leave anything out. Since I discover a new study spot or an amazing selection of…More »

6. Nicollet Mall
If you're in Downtown Minneapolis you'll probably end up somewhere on Nicollet Mall whether you make it a destination or not, because it is in the center of it all. It's a 12 block outdoor Mall that has large patio sized sidewalks, and a narrow road…More »
7. Mill Ruins Park
Minneapolis, MN 55401
(612) 313-7793
Category:
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Downtown Minneapolis
This is a very unique park, and is such a creative use of old Mill Ruins, it's got such an ancient feel to it. I've never seen ruins utilized like this before, it's almost like the Minneapolis version of the Roman Forum. You can get right up next to…More »
8. Water Power Park
One of my favorite parks Downtown. I just love the views it offers due to the way the observation areas are arranged right next to St Anthony Falls. The TREMENDOUS force of the falls from this angle provides you with an excellent flowing water sound,…More »
