Minnehaha Park is close to the airport, so it's a good place to visit first. The park has a nice waterfall and plenty of paths to walk around. A restaurant is in the park if you want to get a bite to eat. You'll pay a small parking fee, but it's not much for this pretty place. More

Minneapolis is full of awesome green spaces. This one doesn't disappoint. It's a nice little waterfall only minutes away from downtown. Great little place to have a picnic and a little nature. More

Minnehaha Park is located in South Minneapolis just across the river from St. Paul. Music in the summer, Minnehaha Falls, picnic tables, Sea Salt (fish restaurant), and walking paths are all available in this lovely spot. More

A great park for walking, biking, picnics, photography, etc. When the creek is high, Minnehaha Falls is a great photo op! Near the Vets Home and Hospital. Lately I have seen bald eagles in the area. More

In the hear of the city, this beautiful fall along with miles of hiking trails that end in the Mississippi river. Endless bike paths with rentals here. Pet friendly and great dinning near by. This park is the top jewel of the Minneapolis Park system. More

Always been one of my favorite place in the metro. The Falls go from not much to awesome depending on the time of the year, but the park is awesome to walk through anytime. More

Longfellow's poem is cast in concrete -- that's a treat. The falls are a great barometer of how Minnesota is doing in terms of rainfall. And there is a terrific fish cafe on the premises that is worth the trip. More

We bike from Bryn Mawr to the falls/park several days a week. We never get tired of taking in the amazing falls. It's so great to be in the heart of the city and feel like you are in the middle of no where! Love it! More
