Located in the Midwest, the state of Minnesota is the 12th largest in the US. It is home to the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-Saint Paul) metropolitan area and a great many outdoor areas. Take a step into the urban metropolis of the Twin Cities; travelers will be able to explore the Mall of America, which also contains a theme park, the Walker Art Center, the Mill City Museum, and many different restaurants and bars. Minnesota is also home to many wellness retreats and almost 12,000 lakes and borders North America’s largest lake, Lake Superior.
Step outside the urban metropolis of the Twin Cities and travelers will be able to enjoy the vast outdoors of Minnesota–hundreds of different walking and biking trails, skateparks, ski areas, water sport activities, sightseeing areas, and so much more. With so much to do and so much to see around Minnesota, be sure to experience the full encounter with the great outdoors. Check out this list to pick the best yurts in Minnesota.
