If you are looking for a fun and unique activity in Minnesota, look no further than Niagara Cave!…read more This is about 2 hours south of the twin cities in Harmony, Mn. As I was driving I almost missed it, as it is mostly farm fields and this place is well hidden by trees! Once you pull in the driveway, it really opens up to a beautifully kept property!! There is the cave experience(hour long) 9 or 18hole mini golf and an area for panning (you buy a bag inside the gift shop and do the panning outside in front of the building) My boys (7 and 3) and I only did the cave experience and it was very cool!! There are about 275 steps that you do through the cave and then you walk back the same way,so about 550 total steps. Some of the areas can get narrow but are doable. I am 5'7 230 pounds and did fine, but if you have a larger stomach, some of the areas could get tight! Our guide was Parker and he was very sweet and answered everyone's questions to the best he could. He also had some jokes which added a lighthearted vibe to the tour! Definitely wear good shoes (no crocs or sandals) and bring a jacket or sweatshirt as it is always 48 degrees in the cave! Also, it is not expected but it is always nice to tip (in cash) at the end if you liked the tour! I didn't add all of the pictures I took as it would take away from the initial experience, but this place was very fun! There is also a picnic table area and a small playground! There is a gift shop (I know parents, our favorite thing right?? Haha) but things were VERY reasonably priced! Way better than most gift shops I've been to! Both of my boys got a souvenir for $10 a piece and there were even cheaper items! If you haven't been here, definitely put this on your Minnesota bucket list! This is an absolute must!!

It was interesting. I must say something to do in harmony besides the Amish tours it was worth it for sure you go about 200 feet underground and it's a mile long I went on Saturday tours were about every half an hour. I didn't pre-pay. I just paid when I got there. Wasn't sure what time I'd be there.

There was a couple of different ones so that's nice and learned some different things that I learned from my previous trip, this does take you to harmony, but there is also another harmony Amish tour they are both good just that Harmony one was a tad bit more informative as he's been doing it for 30 years but like I said, still super fun and informative and Lanesboro is a super cute little town. remember to bring cash because that do not take credit so many fun things to buy from flowers to furniture to yummy baked goods, baskets, etc..

I have a soft spot in my heart for Amish preserves. The woodwork is awesome and I practically had to tear myself away from a wooden glider chair that was sooo comfortable. Another person on the tour did buy a chair and Holly tied in on to the back of the bus. There were stops with baskets and baked goods too! Hmmm that blueberry turnover was out of this world. In between the stops we learned how to spot the difference between Amish and English cornfields. Taxes, marriage, clothing, healthcare, you name it and she had an answer. I really liked the Amish clotheslines with the pulleys. Why do they do that? Take the tour and find out!

Mixed review for me. I went on a historical tour last year as the haunted tour was full. That was…read morereally good, I learned a lot about the city, history, lots of cool sites that I would have never found on my own. My cousin who lives in town didn't know 1/2 the stuff we learned. We marked our calendars to come back for the haunted tour. Dr. Hawk takes it a bit serious for me, I was asked/told to stop talking twice (I was whispering with my cousin while masked, it was not loud). It is clear that Dr. Hawk expected everyone to sit and listen attentively to her for the full tour, I am an adult and paid for the experience as things come up I think it should be ok to quietly talk to my companion. The cemetery visits were very interesting, some good info/stories and that was fun. I believe that there is something out there but not sure how much in ghosts and some of the ghost hunting equipment and trying to talk to the spirits was a little out there for me, others seemed to enjoy it, and it was only a smaller portion of the tour. The covid practices were very good, hand sanitizer as you enter the trolley, masks covering nose and mouth. Hoped for some more stories and a little less ghost hunting. Entertaining unique night out

Very historical tour loved it. Very informative staff. Thanks guys. Good job. AZ Gregread more

It was about 1 yr ago that we stayed here, but the place and hosts were so wonderful, I had to…read morewrite a review. First off, the room was magnificent. Very spacious, many amenities. That alone would be more than enough reason to stay. Also, quiet and relaxing. We decided to stay here because of the Japanese theme. My wife had spent 4 yrs living in Japan. It brought back memories of her time in Japan. The decorum was very well done and surprisingly extensive. The hosts added to the experience. They were fun to talk with, but we only met them because we knocked on their door. Easy to just have a time alone. Also, I had left my camera there, and they were so kind to package it up securely and safely and mail it to me. Sorry I can only give 5 stars!

What a lovely place! So many Japanese decorative details!…read moreLamps, dishes, towels, books... We put together a Japanese puzzle from the cupboard and practiced simple origami following a book that had decorative papers. There are also Kimono's in the closet we tried on and took photos in. On the bed were Kimono robes for us to wear. How cool! The huge tub was wonderful after biking the Root River Trail one day and touring Amish farms another. The kitchen has every dish, pan or accessory you would need. We did a lot of cooking! Cindy was a friendly, super accommodating host! We will definitely stay here again!

Nice 1 1/2 hour cruse up and down the Mississippi River. This was a lunch cruse that started at…read more11:00. You could either do the cruse with food, or without. We shared the boat with about 25 people and all of us had the meal. It was early spring, so I'm sure the boat fills up as the weather improves and travelers are out and about. Our lunch was sliced turkey, Swedish meatballs with potatoes and carrots. The turkey was hand carved and the rest was buffet style. Food was decent and there was plenty available. Coffee and tea were included, but other beverages, including a full bar, was available for a charge. The trip itself was nice. The highlight was going through a railroad bridge. (Twice - going up and down) A large section of the bridge has to turn to open a space for the boat to go through. Otherwise the views were a bit pedestrian, some nice homes along the river and a few uninhabited islands. There were some bird watchers on our trip who got really excited when they spotted a couple of Eagles nesting in a tree along the river. The captain does a nice job as a narrator/guide to bring the area to life with interesting stories and historical facts. Overall this is a nice relaxing trip. Sit back and learnt some history of the area and Mississippi River, and enjoy the ride. It's always fun to be on the water! Glad I did the trip, probably wouldn't need to do it again.
