Minnesota

Minnesota

Minnesota’s Twin Cities are a hotbed of performing arts. Legendary venues include Orchestra Hall on Minneapolis’s Nicollet Mall and Saint Paul’s breathtaking Ordway Center for the Performing Arts.

The river begins its 2,552 mile journey to the sea from its headwaters in Itasca State Park. From its ankle-deep source, the mighty Mississippi winds its way through Minnesota - from the northern wilderness through contemporary, cosmopolitan cities to rich farmlands and plains. Each bend of the river offers something new in the land of 15,000 lakes. From professional baseball thrills in the Metrodome, to the Mall of America, the nation's largest fully enclosed shopping and entertainment complex, to more than 500 beautiful golf courses, the good times flow like the river.
