Minneapolis is a thriving metropolis full of culture, outdoor activities, and more. With so many things to do, you might get overwhelmed choosing which sites to visit, especially if you are here for an event. We’ve created a list of five popular places/photo sites in Minneapolis. Check it out below:
1. Minneapolis Institute of Art:
Free admission is just the first bonus of attending the Mia. When you walk through the doors, you’ll be transported to a plethora of different time periods and countries all through the gorgeous art and sculpture collection they have curated. Plus, this museum is family-friendly, which makes it great for all ages! Not to mention the wonderful photo opportunities.
2. Basilica of Saint Mary:
As the first Basilica constructed in the U.S., this church is a must-see. Built-in the 1900s, the architecture is breathtaking, and the grounds are stunning. The Basilica is open daily and has activities and cultural events on top of Catholic mass services. Couples who choose not to get married at FIVE Event Center are often hoping to get married in a church. Basilica of Saint Mary is beautiful and located nearby.
