THINGS TO DO

If you are from out of town and are planning to stay the weekend, we encourage you to explore what Minnesota has to offer! We have personally vetted all experiences, but if you do have any complaints, please forward a message to Brian Reinken.

Como Park

1224-1256 Midway Pkwy
St Paul, MN 55103

Our wedding will begin after the zoo closes, so we encourage you to explore it beforehand. We personally recommend the ostriches, the sloths, and the giraffes.

Walker Art Center

725 Vineland Pl
Minneapolis, MN 55403

Take a picture by the big cherry on a spoon.

Minneapolis Institute of Art

2400 3rd Ave S
Minneapolis, MN 55404

Visit the internationally renowned art museum located behind the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Marcie's alma mater.

If you crave more local art, there is a student gallery space on the first floor of the main building at MCAD. WARNING: We cannot guarantee that the student art will be family friendly.

Weisman Art Museum

333 E River Pkwy
Minneapolis, MN 55455

A small but iconic art museum at the University of Minnesota, Brian's alma mater.

Sever's Corn Maze & Farm Market

3121 W 150th St
Shakopee, MN 55379

You will attain enlightenment (guaranteed) in the corn pit. If, somehow, you do not attain enlightenment, we once again humbly remind you to forward your complaints to Brian Reinken.

Mall of America®

60 E Broadway, Bloomington, MN 55425

A mall that is also a theme park. Marcie recommends getting a slice of cookie cake and perusing wares at the LEGO store. Brian recommends the Minnesota-themed gift shops, which cost money, and the mall smell, which is free.

Mesa Pizza

Authentic jerk chicken. Marcie ate here frequently when she was a student.
