Minnesota State Fair - DNR Park MN, MN
Description
Though popular with fairgoers of all ages, the DNR Park at the Minnesota State Fair manages to offer a space that feels (relatively) removed from the hubbub of the Midway rides, animal barns and mile-long lines for cookies and pronto pups. That might be owed to its focus on nature and outdoor recreation. It also might be the generous (in State Fair scope) patch of grass you might be able to find space to plunk your family down for a breather. Feet hopefully rested, there’s a bunch of fun, FREE stuff for kids to explore in the park.
