ABOUT THE TWIN CITIES The Twin Cities is an exciting place to experience and create the arts. Four major art museums, two orchestras, and regional theater offer plenty of creative inspiration. Stroll through the Sculpture Garden at the Walker Art Center. Marvel at the Aquatennial, and the Winter Carnival. Wonder at The Minneapolis Institute of Art. The Hennepin Avenue Theatre District is the hot spot in town for Broadway productions. You’ll also find pop, jazz, and a rock scene that’s earned the Twin Cities the nickname of “The Land of 10,000 Bands.” In nearby Bloomington is the Mall of America, the country’s largest shopping complex with more than 400 specialty shops and 40 restaurants. The mall’s centerpiece, Nickelodeon Universe, is a $70 million indoor family theme park that covers seven lush acres. For fun, Minneapolis is an aquarian’s paradise, with rivers and nearly 20 lakes. More than 150 city parks are accessible for hiking, biking, and skating. In warmer months, spend a sunny afternoon on the beaches of Lake Calhoun. In winter, enjoy ice-skating, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and skiing. If you’re into spectator sports, cheer on the Twins at Target Field or the Vikings at the Metrodome. Or watch the Wild, Timberwolves and Lynx devour the competition. Getting around is easy, too, with a network of mass transit routes, shuttles, and a skyway that connects more than 50 city blocks.
