When the temperature drops, don’t let your family fun freeze over! Twin Cities Gateway, just minutes from downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, is your ticket to beating cabin fever with unforgettable adventures. Whether you want to conquer the cold or find the coziest indoor thrills, we have your new favorite memories waiting.
Get Your Adrenaline Fix
Why climb the walls at home when you can climb real ones? At Urban Air Adventure Park in Coon Rapids, soar on an indoor coaster, tackle a ropes course, or defy gravity on wall-to-wall trampolines. Or catch air at Zero Gravity Trampoline Park in Mounds View, with 11,000 square feet of leaping, flipping fun, a slam dunk zone, laser tag, and a climbing wall.
Want to make a splash? Escape to a tropical paradise at the Tropics Water Park in Shoreview. Brave the three-story “Shark Attack” water slide—complete with its own light and music show!—or relax in the pools, float on sea creatures, and let the kids explore the Shipwreck Beach play area.
Indoor Fun for Everyone
For classic fun with a modern twist, hit the lanes at Bowlero in Blaine, featuring 38 black-light lanes, a giant arcade, and laser tag. Or check out Mermaid Entertainment Center in Mounds View for more state-of-the-art bowling and arcade action. Prefer putting? Glow in One Mini Golf (Blaine) offers 18 holes of indoor, black-lit fun for all ages.
Lace-up your skates at Cheap Skate Roller Park in Coon Rapids for a retro-fun afternoon, or let the little ones burn off energy at the Eagles Nest Indoor Playground in New Brighton, a massive play structure with multilevel slides, ball pits, and a dedicated toddler area.
Embrace the Brisk Outdoors
Bundle up and play in our winter wonderland! Experience the magic of a sleigh ride at Bunker Park Stable, pulled by gentle draft horses through snow-covered forests. For a new thrill, try fat biking on groomed trails at Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve or go skijoring (cross-country skiing with your dog!) at Bunker Hills Regional Park.
You can also glide along miles of pristine cross-country ski trails at Green Haven Golf Course and other beautiful Anoka County Parks.
Try Something New
Unleash your family’s creative side with a class at the Rum River Art Center in Anoka, offering everything from painting to clay. Or learn an Olympic sport at the Four Seasons Curling Club in Blaine! Their “Learn to Curl” clinics will have your whole family sweeping the ice and throwing rocks in no time.
This winter, don’t hibernate. Celebrate! Find all this and more in the Twin Cities Gateway.
