The holidays can be very busy with all of the shopping and decorating; however, take some time off and visit a Minnesota attraction! Here are five things going on in the state during the holidays.
1. Macy's Holiday Auditorium - Take a walk through a winter wonderland on the 8th floor of Macy's in downtown Minneapolis!
2. Holiday Flower Show - Take in the sights and smells of the many flowers and plants that we affiliate with the holidays at the Como Park Zoo & Conservatory in St. Paul!
3. Shop at the Mall of America - Of course, if you're in Minnesota, make sure you do some holiday shopping at the Mall of America! There are also many events and shows occurring throughout the season.
4. Skiing and Sledding! - There are many slopes and hills in Minnesota for skiing, sledding, and snow tubing, including Buck Hill, Afton Alps, and the Lutsen Mountains.
5. Walk around the downtown areas! - Whether it's downtown Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Rochester, or any other Minnesota city, there is always something going on for the holidays. You can also do some holiday shopping or visit Santa!
