Hello to an all new @daveandbusters in Edina! The space was just revamped and is now open.

Here’s our highlights!

🎯 Game suites with shuffleboard and high tech darts. Perfect for a group of friends!

🎮 Classic and new arcade games. Just load credits onto a card and play!

🏃‍♀️ New immersive play arena was the best! We played mental and physical games in here and worked up a sweat.

🍔 All new food and drink menu - we loved the margs, queso, stacked steak bowl, and spicy smashed burger.

Here’s the details!

1. Minneopa State Park in Mankato has a bison drive where you have a chance to see them up close. So fun if you get lucky like us! Also make sure to do the short hike to Minneopa Falls or just take in the views from above!

2. @oxbowparkzollmanzoo are located near Rochester and are both free! The park is built with natural play structures the zoo has many animals native to Minnesota. So well done!

3. Westwood Nature Center in St. Louis Park has a great indoor and outdoor nature center with a nice playground and paths for walking and spotting animals.

4. @duluthtrains (North Shore Scenic Railway) offers different tours out of Duluth. Make sure to book the first class glass dome car for drinks, snacks, A/C, and the best views!

5. The William A Irvine is located in Duluth and offers tours of the ship which is basically a floating museum. So cool for kids to explore and they are free with a paid adult!

It was birthday weekend at our house! Can’t believe we have a 4 year old and a 1 year old! 🥹

I’m love with the new By The Box catering boxes from @chowgirlscatering - seriously soooooo pretty and beyond easy!

We ordered online for delivery but you can do pickup too. Highly recommend the cheese and meat charcuterie (comes with a delish bread box), organic fruit, and crudite, especially for a kids party.

Only thing I had to do was take the tops off the boxes. Amazing.

We also got the funfetti cake which was the highlight of the party! 🎉

Thanks for the boxes @chowgirlscatering!

Here’s the details!

1. Rent surrey bikes at @gallopinggooserentals located in Glendalough State Park in Battle Lake! They provide helmets for kids and have other rentals too.

2. Ride the historic trolley in Excelsior. Purchase tokens for the trolley at the downtown station and take a super short ride to the trolley museum and back!

3. Explore the @pinegrovezoo_littlefalls in Little Falls. This zoo is THE BEST. Majority of animals are native to Minnesota and it’s small and not crowded.

4. Take the train to Red Wing for the day. It’s a 50 minute ride there from @uniondepot in St. Paul and our tickets were only $7 each! I have a whole reel on this so if you need more details look there!

5. Take a tour at @redheadcreamery which is a working cheese production farm. See animals up close and learn about the process, or just stop in at their cheese shop or restaurant for cheese and drinks!

6. Walk the new lake walk in downtown Wayzata on Lake Minnetonka. Walk right over the lake, see pretty boats, play in multiple splash pads, get ice cream, go to the beach, and more!
