From  Wikipedia: an 11-acre (4.5 ha) park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in the United States. It is located north of the Walker Art Center, which operates it in coordination with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. It reopened on June 10, 2017, after a reconstruction that resulted in the Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden being unified into one 19-acre campus. It is one of the largest urban sculpture gardens in the United States, with 40 permanent art installations and several other pieces that are moved in and out periodically.

Orpheum Theatre, 910 Hennepin Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55403 

Description : Trips : References : Pictures 


Description:

From  Wikipedia:  historic venue located in downtown Minneapolis. It is one of four restored theaters on Hennepin Avenue, alongside the State Theatre, the Pantages Theatre, and the Shubert Theatre (now The Cowles Center).

From  GPS My City: The Orpheum is a star in Hennepin Avenue’s lineup of restored historic venues, standing proudly alongside the Pantages, State, and Shubert (now Goodale) theaters. Opened in 1921, this theater was built to dazzle, welcoming 2,600 eager patrons for vaudeville acts and live performances. In true showbiz fashion, it even came outfitted with a dedicated elevator-not for performers or sets, mind you, but for the animal stars of the era’s grand touring productions.

Description:
Nicollett is both the name of a street and a mall

From   GPS My City: The Nicollet (formerly Nicollet Mall) has long been downtown Minneapolis’s go-to hub for shopping and entertainment. With its recent glow-up, it’s become even more inviting for visitors, local workers, and city dwellers. Motor vehicles are limited to buses and taxis, leaving this mile-long pedestrian-friendly stretch to flaunt its sidewalk cafés, art installations, greenery, and a medley of shops.

Description:

We went to Minnesota mostly because we had a companion fare and because our daughter was running a half marathon in Duluth. There was nothing really calling us to the city and once we got there, there was nothing which said we had to go and see or else we are missing out and will regret for the rest of our lives. What we found out is that this is a delightful city which has made the most of its resources and its natural beauty. We are glad we came.

Some of the highlights we did included:

• The Sculpture Garden
• Minneapolis Institute of Art
• Mississippi River
• Mill City Museum
• Como Zoo and Arboretum-this is in St Paul 
• Minnehaha Falls
• Chain of Lakes 
• Skyway 

Trips:

• June 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19, 2026 - First five days in Minneapolis
• June 23, 24, 25, and 16, 2026-last four days in Minneapolis

From Wikipedia-Mill City : a redeveloped former industrial area within Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, and a part of the larger Downtown East neighborhood. The area contains several former flour mills left over from the days when Minneapolis was the flour milling capital of the world. With almost none of the mills still active, a number of these have been converted into condominiums leading to a revitalization of the neighborhood.

 From Wikipedia-Mill City Museum:  The museum is located in the ruins of the Washburn "A" Mill next to Mill Ruins Park on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. The museum, opened in 2003, focuses on the founding and growth of Minneapolis, especially flour milling and the other industries that used hydropower from Saint Anthony Falls. The mill complex that the museum is within, dates from the 1870s
