Visit Minnesota: Distinctive People, Places and Activities

Visit Minnesota tells the stories of the people, places and activities that make Minnesota distinct. From the North shore to Minnesota’s lakes, from resorts to getaways, and from shopping to dining.

It’s the state with the most golf courses per capita, and the most theatre seats outside of Broadway. It has more shoreline than California, Florida and Hawaii combined and more recreational boats per capita than any other state. It’s home to Olympic medalists for downhill skiing and the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame. It has more bike trails than any other state and the headwaters of North America’s largest river system. It’s the state that invented the snowmobile and water skiing and created the first enclosed shopping all. Arguably, it’s the birthplace of America.

Minnesota: You know it as the Land of 10,000 Lakes. You’ve been up north. And you’ve walked the famed sculpture garden. But you haven’t seen it all.
