9 Amazing Spots To Check Out in Minnesota This Spring

As soon as "Spring Break" shows up on the kids' calendar, it feels like everyone in Minnesota packs up their swimsuits to fly off to Mexico or some beach for Spring Break.  That's not my family.  In fact, my kid came up to me the other day and said,  "Mom, are WE doing anything fun for Spring Break?"

I'm not exactly sure what my kid has in mind but I thought I'd try to find something in the area that he'd love.  In all of my Googling, I found quite a few fun places, events, and spots that any kid would love.  There is one that I really want to do...just not sure how to get out of work to make it happen yet.  Just in case you are doing a staycation too, I'll share the list below to save you a bit of searching:
