The views from the upper rooms, the shops, the old store, the school, the whole thing makes history more memorable. I have never done well in history, but this fort helps make history interesting.
Sort of scary when you are alone but if you and a few friends want to take a nice sunny walk, come here. It is scary if you are afraid of outdoors animals like I am. I was scared I may get bit by snakes or something. It's quite green and woody.
A great place for young and old alike to see how life was like in the old days! The people who work there bring history alive. The kids will enjoy the firing of the cannon!
Haven't been there for a while but have taken the kids there over the years. They loved it and was a great way to spend the day. Kids always wanted to go. Walk all over to explore.
Look out for the first cannon fired at Pearl Harbour near the freeway end. Some interesting sculptures honouring soldiers.
The state park is great because you can visit Fort Snelling and learn all the history of the fort and go down to the park and enjoy a nice hike or bike down by the river. The rangers who work the park are very knowledgeable and regularly lead interpretive walks around the park. Unless you have a jet come over...

Just like any other fort in the country. I actually found it was pretty small. They do reinactments and kids like it.
This park has it all and is full of history too. Great for all ages the walk, bike, running paths can be navigated for length or be as short as you want. The information building hits the high points of itss history but the walk around the island is wonderful.
Its a quick escape from the rat race live in the big cities. Very close and feels so far away! A beautiful place to view the river and the colorful leaves.
