Admit Two to the Zoo
We used the Museum Adventure Pass to get ourselves into the Minnesota Zoo on the cheap last weekend.
My favorite part of this zoo is what separates it from most other zoos – the Minnesota Trail – I think this is because it’s an amped up version of the State Fair DNR building, and slightly reminiscent Sitka Animal Farm (now apparently known as “… Continue reading

Laura warned us that getting into the “museum” is a little bit odd- you walk through very… Continue reading
