    Minneapolis, the “City of Lakes,” truly comes alive in the spring. As the snow melts and the temperatures rise, the city transforms into a vibrant hub of outdoor adventures, cultural experiences, and seasonal events. Whether you’re a nature lover, foodie, or art enthusiast, Minneapolis offers something for everyone during this rejuvenating time of year.

    With 122 properties in the Twin Cities area, here are some of our MINNeSTAY favorites to do in Minneapolis in the spring.

    Visit the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden

    The iconic Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, home to the famous Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture, is a delightful spot to visit in spring. As the weather warms up, the garden’s manicured lawns and unique art installations make for a relaxing outdoor experience. Bring your camera to capture the sculptures against the backdrop of blooming flowers and blue skies. Stay at Dean Parkway Estate:

    Explore the Minneapolis Farmers Market

    Spring marks the return of fresh, locally grown produce, and the Minneapolis Farmers Market is the ideal place to experience it. Open on weekends, the market features an array of fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers, and handmade goods. It’s a great way to support local farmers and artisans while enjoying the lively atmosphere.

    The Twin Cities Beer Week is another spring highlight. Minneapolis’ craft beer scene is thriving, and this event showcases the best local breweries with tastings, tours, and special events. Stay at Musee Northeast:  

    Catch a Minnesota Twins Game

    Spring marks the start of baseball season, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than by attending a Minnesota Twins game at Target Field. With its open-air design and views of the Minneapolis skyline, the stadium provides an unforgettable experience for sports fans. Stay at one of our Sable Premium Condos, within walking distance to the ballpark:

    Discover Hidden Gems

    Finally, take some time to explore Minneapolis’ lesser-known attractions. Stroll through Lyndale Park Gardens to see early spring blooms or visit the Mill City Museum to learn about the city’s flour milling history. Or, discover hidden beach, and stay at the Sapphire Estate:

    In spring, Minneapolis offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventures, cultural activities, and seasonal delights. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy the city as it wakes up from its winter slumber. Make it a MINNeSTAY at one of the top-rated Vacation Rentals in Minneapolis and enjoy spring like the locals!
