Great deals in Minneapolis
Did you know that Minneapolis/St. Paul is the birthplace of such luminaries as author F. Scott Fitzgerald, musicians Bob Dylan and Prince and actresses Judy Garland and Jane Russell? A mecca of creative talent, the Minneapolis theatre scene is one of the most respected anywhere. Visit the historic Hennepin Theatre District for a multi-theater, thespian omnibus, hosting many touring Broadway shows.
Artist LeRoy Neiman and cartoonist Charles Schultz are two other famous St. Paulians, and museums and arts are integral components of the fabric of the Twin Cities. With more than 55 museums in the area, it is a genuine communal repository of fine art. Try the Minnesota Museum of American Art to see the works of other great Minnesota artists, or the Mille Lacs Indian Museum, built adjacent to a restored trading post. There's also a children's museum with tons of bits and bobs to keep the kids spellbound.
If it's local flavor you're after, Heartland provides feasts cooked with locally grown ingredients. You can pick up your own local provisions at the Minneapolis Farmers' Market, comprised of over 240 vendors selling farmstead products, Minnesota grown fruits and vegetables as well as local Arts and Crafts.
