Saint Croix Vineyards’ annual Grape Stomp Festival is free and open to the whole family. Whether or not we actually stomp the grapes, the idea of a picnic and
vineyard tour along with live music sounds like a really pleasant weekend afternoon spent with the family.
Because of the opening of the 2nd Twin Cities location in Eden Prairie, Sandbox VR offered our whole family comp tickets to enjoy an adventure in their virtual reality video gaming
world. While we were given the tickets, the review is still completely my own. We didn’t know what we were getting into, but Chris and I knew our kids would love it. Even if Mama was a little unsure about having any VR experiences. |
We think a trip to a fall farmers market trumps a traditional grocery run any day of the week. There is nothing
more inspiring than the stacks of brightly-colored autumn produce just waiting to be turned into cozy family dinners. Here are 8 fall farmers markets in the Twin Cities we think go above and beyond by offering not only a fresh selection of food, but an atmosphere that will appeal to the youngest shoppers.
Red Wing is beautiful to visit any time of year with kids, but the fall can be particularly lovely and there are a few good reasons to plan a fall visit, including
the annual Children’s Book Festival (held the mid-weekend of September), a fall antique festival and the Red Wing Pottery Museum, a fall warehouse sale at Red Wing Shoes and Featherstone Pottery’s annual fall sales. This is a good time to sneak in a last camping trip and/or view the beautiful fall colors. The best place to camp near Red Wing is FRONTENAC STATE PARK, located about 12 miles south of the town on Highway 61.
Landmark Center, St. Paul The Landmark Center is a historical building right in the heart of downtown St. Paul. It was once the federal building for the city which included courtrooms and the post office.
Today it is a landmark (ha!) and houses not only the historical information of the building but also many different museums. Each fall through spring, the Landmark hosts Sunday family events, aptly named “Sundays at Landmark”. The 2022-2023 season begins September 18, 2022 with the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival. The series also includes the Landmark Center’s popular Urban Expeditions starting mid-January, which take you to a different country to experience the culture firsthand for FREE without the
need to leave the Twin Cities |

Let's go do fun stuff--even if it's later.
