Whether you prefer wining and dining, shopping and museum hopping, or biking and hiking, Duluth, Minnesota, is your spot. Nestled in the bluff of the St. Croix River, Stillwater, Minnesota, has a small-town feel with big-town entertainment options: take a historic walking tour or have a drink along the river; stay in a boutique hotel or camp in a beautiful park; relax on a boat or take a hike. There are endless possibilities of things to do in Minneapolis: art and history museums, breweries and wineries, mini-golfing and high-end golf courses, boating and hiking, festivals and specialty stores galore. – Diana Peterson
