"traditional" art museaum.  This is the one with all the marble statues & european oil paintings.  It also has some beautyful art from Africa, Japan, and elsewhere.The Minnesota Zoo - A sprawling Zoo focusing on the Asian Tropics, Ocean Life, and Minnesota wildlife (all the exotic stuff you can only see from a cabin in the middle of nowhere)St. Paul Science Museum - Just moved to a new riverfront building from their old location.  Lots of local geography, a large collection of dinosaur and prehistoric mammel fossils, a modern technology exibit, and an area devoted to travelling exhibits.  Home of the Omni-Theatre.  IMAX has nothing on a 80' screen that actually wraps over you in a huge, retracting dome.Minnesota History Museum - How the state got to be the way it is.  Free.  Suprisingly interesting and rather extensive.Minnehaha Falls - a St. Paul Park that happens to include a naturally occuring 50' waterfall.Minnesota State Fair - A state fair, with corn dogs, 80's bands on tour, goat and horse shows.  Kind of a pleasent way to spend a late summer day if you like crowds and $2 lemonade.Rennesance Festival - I'm told it's one of the biggest, if you are into that sort of thing."Up North" - Northern Minnesota, near the Canadian Border is home to the Boundary Waters Canoe area.  A vast state park that forbids any moterized vehicles of any kind past a point.  Lots of the more outdoor types live for their two week vacations paddling canoes through lakes and rushes.Fellow Minnesotans, any I am missing?</blockquote>
