Music and Theatre
One great thing about living in South Minneapolis is you’re only minutes from some of the best
city lakes and all the attractions of downtown Minneapolis. We have an amazing theater scene here that is centered around the Guthrie Theater, awesome sports teams with the Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves, Lynx. All of those venues are just a few minutes drive away. We have some of the best music venues in the Midwest with First Avenue, the Armory and Palace Theater. So whatever you’re interested, music, theater, sports, Minneapolis has something great to offer.

Parks
Finally, one of the State Parks that we love most in our area is the Fort Snelling State Park. It sits at the convergence of the Mississippi River and the Minnesota River. There is a small island called Pike Island which has a wide 3.5 mile hiking loop around the whole island. If you’re looking for a great hike, we highly recommend it. It is a true gem that only locals know about. The state park can be reached by car and is about a 10 minute drive from the house.

If you’re into outdoor activities in the city, Lake Harriet is the place to go. We’re about six blocks east of Lake Harriet where there are beaches and a nice paved walking trail around the
lake. There is a beautiful bandshell where they have concerts and activities nightly in the summertime. You can rent kayaks, paddleboards and bikes at the bandshell. There is also a great little restaurant called Bread and Pickle where you can eat next to the lake. If hanging out at the beach is more your thing, there are two beaches on Lake Harriet, one on the south side and one on the north side. The north beach is about a 20 minute walk from our house.
