We have selected our favorite, sometimes less known
places to see when visiting Minnesota.
Alaska Native Heritage Center
Hormel’s Spam Museum - Austin
Visitors can participate in interactive games, see exhibits, and learn more
about the famous luncheon meat known as “Spam.”
Mall of America - Bloomington
One of the largest malls in the world, this attraction includes “Camp Snoopy”
the largest indoor theme park in the US, Minnesota’s largest aquarium, a
four-story LEGO Imagination Center, an indoor stock car race track, 14 theatre
screens, along with 520 retail stores, and 12,000 employees. The Mall hosts
more visitors each year than Disney World, the Grand Canyon and Graceland

Museum of Questionable Medical Devices - St. Paul
Contains the largest collection of “hilarious, horrifying and preposterous”
medical devices assembled under one roof, including actual devices,
advertising, and other items related to medical quackery.
Mille Lacs Indian Museum - Onamia
Offers exhibits dedicated to telling the story of the Mille Lacs Band of
Ojibwe Indians. Trace their journey to settle in Northern Minnesota, learn
about their fate during a period of treaties made and broken, and follow their
story up to the present. Videos, computer interactives, listening stations and
objects reveal information about the Band's life today, from how dance
traditions are carried on to members' interests in music to sovereignty
issues.
Fort Ridgely - Fairfax
In 1851, the Eastern Dakota (Eastern Sioux) sold 35 million acres of their
land across southern and western Minnesota, and moved onto a small reservation
along the Minnesota River. In 1853, the U.S. military started construction on
Fort Ridgely, near the southern border of the new reservation and northwest of
the German settlement of New Ulm. The fort was designed as a police station to
keep peace as settlers poured into the former Dakota lands. Nine years later,
tensions between the Dakota and white settlers led to the U.S.-Dakota war.
Dakota forces attacked the fort twice-on Aug. 20 and Aug. 22. The fort that
had been a training base and staging ground for Civil War volunteers suddenly
became one of the few military forts west of the Mississippi to withstand a
direct assault. Fort Ridgely's 280 military and civilian defenders held out
until Army reinforcements ended the siege.
