There are rides galore at Valleyfair family amusement park, plus Knott's Camp Snoopy at the Mall of America; the renowned Children's Theater Company, and the Minnesota Zoo, where hundreds of animals roam in large, naturalistic environments. Around the state, there's Ely's International Wolf Center, Grand Rapids' Forest History Center, or the underground mysteries of Preston's Mystery Cave or Soudan Underground Mine.

Minnesota's abundance of magnificent woods and waters is legendary. You can stand on a rocky cliff overlooking the largest lake (Superior) in the world, paddle the million-acre Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, or step across the crystal-clear source of America's mighty Mississippi. Beyond this, vast portions of northern Minnesota are carpeted by countless lakes, streams, rivers, and forests of evergreen and hardwood. In southeastern Minnesota are the Mississippi's lush hardwood bluffs and cool tributary streams. The state's western horizons are quilted with golden fields and prairies, and ribboned with riverside woodlands.
