7 Unique Experiences That Should Be On Everyone’s Minnesota Bucket List

The Land of 10,000 Lakes is full of amazing places to visit and fantastic things to do, but if you’re just visiting or focused on your own slice of the state, it can be difficult to choose an adventure. Fortunately, our friends at Viator offer dozens of adventures in the Bold North that highlight some of the best our state has to offer. I think these seven unique experiences in Minnesota, in particular, offer some super interesting things to do in the North Star State.

1. Twin City Ghosts Tour

With more than 175 years of history, the Twin Cities have some skeletons in their closets. This Twin Cities Ghost Tour will open the doors on a few of them.

Few tours can be more iconic in Minnesota than a day trip into the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. It’s only a taste of what our great North Woods has to offer, but I’m sure it will leave you wanting more.

One of the oldest cities in Minnesota, Stillwater has managed to retain much of its historic charm. This tour, which includes private transportation, hits the high notes of this beloved St. Croix River town.
