Is there anything we must see or we should be doing in Minnesota?
Travelling to Minnesota Between July 31st - Aug 3rd
Are you looking for festivals? If so, here%26#39;s what I%26#39;ve got. If not, just park yourself on a lake.
Fishermen%26#39;s Picnic in Grand Marais, Minn. There%26#39;s a lot going on at the North Shore%26#39;s biggest festival, including loon-calling, log-rolling and rock-skipping contests; a boat parade and cutest-puppy contest; and a grand parade Sunday. July 30-Aug. 1.
Buffalo Bill Days in Lanesboro, Minn. Ride the Root River State Trail then enjoy music, games and food in this bluff-country burg. Parade is Sunday. July 31-Aug. 2.
Taste of Dorset in Dorset, Minn. Ride the Heartland State Trail to this tiny ';burp in the road%26#39;%26#39; near Park Rapids, then eat your way down the street. And don%26#39;t forget to vote (or run) for mayor. Aug. 2.
Boundary Waters Blues Festival in Ely, Minn. Here%26#39;s another music festival with a beautiful north-woods setting at Fall Lake, east of town. July 30-Aug. 1.
Swissfest in Berne, Minn. This southern Minnesota hamlet near Pine Island puts on an Old World festival, with Swiss guests to yodel and demonstrate such crafts as Scherenschnitte, or scissor cutting. Aug. 1.

The whole North Shore would be an experience. From Duluth MN, to the Canadian Border - awesome Lake Superior fun times.
So many state parks / hiking trails / water falls / beach walks / scenic vistas.

What are your interests? Is there a certain part of the state you%26#39;ll be visiting or are you simply wide open to suggestions?
I think we will be in Minneapolis. We have tickets to the twins game one day. What else should we check out there?
Definitely check out the city%26#39;s lakes and trails:

MN Zoo
Nicollet Mall - Farmers markets, patios, shopping, live music at Peavey Plaza, lawn bowling at Brit%26#39;s rooftop
Dining %26amp; drinks anywhere by Loring Park then the Sculpture Garden at the Walker
Outdoor theater %26amp; movies in the parks, the new schedules will be up sometime this month:

Minnehaha Falls - biking, hiking, Sea Salt restaurant and any special events they may have
Let us know if you%26#39;re seeking other more specific events
Minnesota Transportation Museum in St Paul if you like train museums.
Are there any fishing charters? We would like to go Bow Fishing.
Bow fishing is a very specific seasonal sport. You are only allowed to take ';rough fish';, not game fish and you need to know what you are shooting at before you release. This means the fish must be in very shallow water, which occurs during spawning. Most of our fish spawn in the spring, between the first of April and the first of June. Since you are coming at the end of July, it%26#39;s unlikely that you could find anyone who would guide you.
