Christmas has passed and now we're heading into the downward spiral of wanting winter and the cold to be over but there are so many events and things to do still. What are these "fun" things and events you ask? Well if you live in the Twin Cities area look no further, I am here to cure your boredom!!!! Here a list of some adventures, activities, or festivals you can attend so still stay in the holiday spirit.
1. Go to Rice Park
Rice Park is located in downtown St.Paul near the Xcel Energy Center. It's absolutely stunning at night when all the trees light up and you can go ice skating in the rink located right across from the park.
2. Ice skating at the Depot
The depot is located in downtown Minneapolis. You can either rent skates their or bring your own for a special discount!
3. Minnehaha Falls
Go check out the falls located on the outskirts of downtown Minneapolis! If the fall is completely frozen and you're able to go behind it, it's the perfect Instagram!
4. Tubing at Buck Hill
Buck Hill may not be located in the Twin Cities but it's pretty dang close. Buck Hill is in Burnsville and besides having great slopes to ski and snowboard, they have tubing!! Super super super fun alternative if you don't know how to ski or snowboard (i.e. ME)
