I'll be visiting your great city in a few weeks and I"m wondering if you can make any suggestions of things available for some entertainment in the area

usually when I go there I hit up mystic lake casino, something fishy, forest lake pets, and the mall, but I'm looking for something else, is there an aquarium n the cities somewhere or anything else you'd recommend checking out

I'm only 20, so bars and clubs are out

thanks

The zoo is always cool.

The Science Museum is fun once or twice...and I believe the coral reef movie is still playing at the IMAX theater there.

If you're into art, the Mpls Institute of the Arts on 3rd Ave and 24th St S is pretty swell, as well as the Walker.

Need more?

where is the zoo located?
I'm not too into art, but the IMAX and science museum sounds like a good idea...I KIND OF know my way around, but I don't know any of the addresses...

I'm also considering hitting up the Twins vs Tigers on Friday night

I second Valley Fair good waste of a day

The zoo is good too if it is not hot outside then it can be a long day. the Tide pool setup is worth seeing alone, gave me soo many Ideas.

Tyler, check around, a lot of the clubs are 18+....Skip Mystic Lake, and drop half the money you'd gamble with off at my house..hehe..just kidding. Last time I went to Mystic I walked out with 2 truck payments, I gave them back the next night when I went in with the goal of paying my truck loan off ($6700)hehe...oh well

Pallasade is worth checking out. It between goosbery falls and Two Harbours, it is also free. It is just a large rock that you can drive up but on the lake side it drops off like 100 feet.

It is the one right as you enter Duluth on the freeway. It was not doing all that well so Ripleys is now running it. It has all kinds of freshwater fish in it. Not sure what they are charging for fees since it is under new management.

Mall of America

If you haven't been there in a while the Mall of America is pretty cool, the aquarium there is kinda fun, last time i was there they had hundreds of baby turtles, pretty cool - plus they have camp snoopy, rides always fun, plus they have a Hooters on the fourth floor.

yeah, the only thing to do in Fargo is hang out at our place and drink cheap beer and watch The Big Lebowski or The Godfather

alright, I figure with the time I have I can check out the zoo and the science museum....could someone provide me with the adresses to those locations? I usually just mapquest my way around the cities, but I need addresses

we already plan on being at the dome and the mall....perhaps valleyfair can replace something as well
