Wander Minnesota: Planning Your State Park Getaway

This year’s unusually early spring is a boon for outdoor enthusiasts. Even though it’s still (barely) March, it’s definitely not too soon to make plans to visit one of Minnesota’s state parks this summer.

Wander Minnesota: Breaking For Spring

Schools around the metro are taking that week-long (more or less) holiday known as spring break, now through mid April. Whether going out of town isn’t in your financial picture right now, or you’d just rather stay home, here are some ideas to keep your family from going stir-crazy.

Wander Minnesota: A Touch Of The Irish

Much is made of Minnesota’s Scandinavian heritage, but there’s plenty of Irish spirit (real or borrowed) this time of year. Yup, it’s time for St. Patrick’s Day.

Wander Minnesota: Eelpout Season

There’s no denying it’s been a tough winter for those who love winter sports and recreation, and it’s also been a hard season for communities that host cherished annual winter festivals. Some have been cancelled, others have been scaled back. But some got (barely) enough snow and ice to keep the festivities going.

Wander Minnesota: A Glimpse Of The Season

We’re closing in on the big December holidays. One of my favorite places to go this time of year is the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. They know how to decorate for the holidays, and often incorporate found pieces of nature into the decorations. Given the likelihood of a brown Christmas this year, it’s heartening to find a place that can even make that look pretty.

Wander Minnesota: Giving The Gift Of Food

It was one of those most pleasant emails, an invite to a holiday coffee party from a friend—always a welcome thing to pop up in my inbox.

Thanksgiving Turkey, generic, meal

Wander Minnesota: After Thanksgiving Dinner

Going out for a Thanksgiving buffet? Having a massive meal at home? Either way, once you’re done eating and have enjoyed the Turkey Day after-meal nap, what else is there to do?

Wander Minnesota: Building The Holidays At MOA

Last week I visited the Mall of America a few times to find out something I’ve often been curious about: just how long does it take to put together those giant, beautiful trees in the Rotunda at the holidays?

There are tons of scary things to do for older Halloween fans. But where you can take the little, more easily scared ones?

Wander Minnesota: A Quick Trip

You know what I like? I like penguins. I’ve seen the flurry of advertising the Minnesota Zoo has done about the new 3M Penguins of the African Coast exhibit and kept thinking, ‘Oh, I need […]
