Minnesota
M
innesota is known as the " Land of 10,000 Lakes, " and
there are plenty of group-friendly attractions and experiences
both on and off the water. According to a recent
report from Explore Minnesota Tourism, leisure and hospitality posted
the highest year-over-year growth compared with other industry
subsectors. Whether groups want to lounge by the lakes or explore
creative, cosmopolitan areas, Minnesota has the best of both worlds.
The Twin Cities is the most popular area for tourism and refers to the
state's capital St. Paul and the state's largest city, Minneapolis. Together,
they contain hundreds of restaurants, entertainment venues, and other
attractions to delight groups of all ages and interests. In Minneapolis,
groups can take advantage of group ticket deals at renowned theaters
and stadiums, or visit iconic attractions like the Minneapolis Sculpture
Garden and the Stone Arch Bridge. In St. Paul, take in the beautiful
Capitol, or tour the Wabasha Street Caves and learn about Minnesota's
Prohibition era and gangster past. Come to the Twin Cities in late August
to attend the Minnesota State Fair, aka the " Great Minnesota GetTogether, "
which attracts over 2 million visitors each year.
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport is regularly lauded as
one of the best airports for customer satisfaction. Over the last six out
of seven years, it was named the " Best Airport in North America " by
the Airport Service Quality program, which surveyed 465,000 travelers
in more than 90 countries. Located in Bloomington, a suburb of
the Twin Cities, the airport is conveniently located near some of the
top attractions in the state.
Also in Bloomington is Mall of America, the largest shopping
mall and entertainment complex in North America. Approximately
32 million people visit this massive shopping center annually, 40%
of whom are tourists, believe it or not. Not only does the Mall boast
over 500 stores, but it also contains tons of restaurants, an aquarium,
mini-golf, virtual reality, and an indoor theme park. To the west of
Bloomington, groups may want to tour Paisley Park, the recording
studio and private residence of music legend Prince, or spend an
evening at Chanhassen Dinner Theatres.
In the northern part of the state, there are plenty of opportunities
for outdoor recreation. In Duluth, visit the Lake Superior Maritime
Visitor Center & Park and see the Aerial Liſt Bridge, an important
feature in this Great Lakes port city. Head up a bit farther along the
North Shore to fi nd Split Rock Lighthouse and many charming towns
and excellent hiking areas along Lake Superior.
