Things to Do in Minneapolis

You don’t need Chicago accommodation to get the best attractions in the U.S. (although we definitely recommend going there!). The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is one of the largest in the country, with more than 40 permanent sculptures. Cross the street to the Walker Art Center and you’ll be in one of the “big five” modern art museums, complete with original Warhol, O’Keeffe and Hopper paintings.

Still not enough culture for you? Head to Hennepin Avenue and take in a Broadway show on Minneapolis’ Theatre Row, home to four major playhouses, not to mention dance, comedy and live music. And if being quiet’s not your style, the city’s baseball stadium and basketball arena are just around the corner.

Getting To & Around Minneapolis

Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) is 15 km south of the city centre. Hop on the Light Rail (LRT) Blue Line for a direct ride to Minneapolis hotels near downtown and attractions like Mill City Museum and Saint Anthony Falls. If you don’t have your walking shoes (or just want to be spoiled), taxis and Wotif’s great car hire deals are both easy ways to get around.

Ready for a getaway that’s equal parts outdoor adventure and artsy escapade—and all about fun? Search Wotif’s stellar deals on hotels in Minneapolis, plus add-on holidays in Chicago to really complete your Midwestern tour. Then kick back with some lutefisk (or, you know, don’t) and let your imagination run wild.
