    Had a group of friends who all wanted to go this season to Miracle at Big Rock…read more Frankly though, I wouldn't refer to it as a miracle... $22/per person entry fee definitely felt steep for what it was... a small RV campsite dressed up in holiday lights with the occasional firepit burning low-grade wood and hot beverage cups. (I watched as countless guests discarded their cups on the ground rather than in appropriate trash bins... despite there being plenty of trashbins around for use... if they'd been willing to carry their empty cups just a few more feet... like seriously, are you teaching your children to litter? Then I watched as employees took those cups, plastic covers and all, and tossed them into the fire... Idk about you, but breathing burning plastic into my lungs doesn't sound too wonderful to me. Maybe we could teach our employees proper disposal of materials too?) The campgrounds were loosely divided up into themed zones, such as Frozen and Whoville and Ice Age (did they have the rights to use these characters? I'm guessing not from the low-budget costumed characters they had roving about... To be clear, I'm not against copyright infringement of large corporations that have too much money already, but frankly, I'd like to have seen more creativity in creation of zones that didn't rely on the crutch of media that's overpopularized... doesn't risk a lawsuit that way, and is way more unique and special). One of the themed zones was a military zone that felt... cultish and made me distinctly uncomfortable. Using the holidays to celebrate war and death with lit up displays of tanks and guns is a big no-thanks, imo. We've got holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day to celebrate these things... it doesn't need to be dragged into winter festivities too. The string light covered fire truck was cool though. I did like that they had a free-for-all style sledding area (nothing too steep) that you could enjoy without paying extra. It was a little too chaotic with tiny bodies for me to partake in though. I also appreciated the port-a-johns available around the site. There's a food court area with trucks serving stuff like sausage, BBQ, pizza, mini donuts, kettle korn, and shaved ice. In addition to the several hot beverage stands across the park serving up hot cider, hot cocoa, and various hot alcoholic beverages. Prices were actually what I would consider reasonable, taking into account their location (where the rules are no outside food or beverages). There's a big heated "barn" where you can browse vendors; none of them caught my fancy, but it's stuff like candles, ornaments, apparel, bread, and randomly, all-terrain wheelchairs. There are toilets available in the barn too, which had an insane line because everyone was being really prissy about doing their business not out in the 9° weather with the outhouses, LOL. Reasonable number of photo-op worthy light displays, so I got a few pictures as we ambled around. It was all okay, just not really up to the hype they gave it, y'know?

    This was a REALLY fun experience! I was skeptical at first, but as we walked down the hill into the…read moreforest of lights, it was really neat! There are wood burning fires all over so you have the opportunity to warm up along the way, and half way through the mile and a half walk you come to the beautiful barn that contains an event center, with food, crafts and good drinks!! Bring the kids, let them enjoy while you enjoy too!!

    On a roadtrip from Minnesota heading to Florida and looking for something fun as we go thru each…read morestate...what could be more fun for a kid to stop at then firework store! We don't have stores like this in my state! So my kid was blown away when we walked through the door! And it turned into a fun stop for both of us! Erik what was the first to great us at the door. Absolutely amazing customer service! He was fun and patient with all our wide-eyed 120 questions! He showed us fireworks that would be great for daytime. I shoot off that were kid friendly. He also showed us that there were QR codes on some of the fireworks signs that took us to YouTube showing us how they look and work. The store also had a bunch of TVs mounted showing live videos of their employees shooting off the fireworks so you can see how they worked. SO MANY COOL FIREWORKS OF ALL TYPES! They also had a buy one get one for $.99. No matter the cost. (Pay full price for the highest, next one $.99!!) They had 3 fun "manager special packs" with different price ranges. Nice for the indecisive people like me...or if you are on a time crunch and need to get in and out. I found out that most of the staff are teachers on summer break from the local school. And that cool guy Erik is a high school band director the rest of the year. Curious car that I am, I love asking questions and found out they are local owned shop that is only open from Memorial Day thru July 16th. And had 2 shops in the area (3 miles apart) As I was heading to checkout, I noticed they had a sign up to win almost a $3000 huge human tall collection of fireworks (hey, if I win, I'm more than happy to drive back and find some new friends in WI to help me light them off!) This will absolutely be a must stop place every time we happen to drive thru this time of year! I wish I could give them 10 stars!! They staff were all friend on and amazing!!

    I have been to several fireworks stores in the area, and the people here are incredibly kind, but…read morethe prices here are some of the poorest in the area. Maybe if they decreased prices I would give a better review, but over $100 for a lower end 500 gram cake is absolute insanity. Would not recommend, go to fireworks forever or wholesale for better value.

    Fireworks Direct - No, you can't really light off fireworks in their parking lot. We asked.

    I was out for a run while in town for a conference....I was looking for a Yelp entry for the…read moreMinneapolis Diagonal Trail (which I was running on) but couldn't find one so I searched "park" and the Lookout came up. Since it was on my way back to my hotel from the running trail, I figured I'd take a look. I will say if you're running up from New Brighton Blvd and you're a husky guy like me, the hill upon which the Lookout sits seems pretty impressive. If you drive up, you might not even notice it. But once you huff and puff your way there, you're rewarded with a lovely skyline view. In this instance, the view is worth the climb. This is right across the street from a cemetery and there's a nice path along this road - Ridgeway Pkwy -as well as St. Anthony's Blvd. Those two road form the two legs of an approximate right triangle with the Minneapolis Diagonal Trail making up the hypotenuse. It's a nice, level, asphalt path almost all the way around (a little section is concrete) and you do get a little elevation change in so if you want a nice run, about three miles, do that loop and reward yourself with the beautiful view at the end.

    This is honestly the most spiritually guided place I have ever been to in this city. Never before…read morehas a view made me think of our accomplishments as man both large, and small at the very same time. From this hill where you can park your vehicle (be aware that you should never actually leave it there), you can look out and see the entire valley containing downtown Minneapolis, North East, and North. It is truly an experience that warrants mentioning, especially on a site like this! There is a walking trail through here that gets a decent amount of traffic, and there are three benches lining the hill side so you can also sit and have a good look. One of my favorite memories from here... The night my ex and I first professed our love for one another, I had parked my car at the very far right spot so as to see the entire downtown skyline lit up. We watched as a thunderstorm rolled across South Minneapolis that never quite reached the northern edge. With my moon-roof open we could smell the rain, and hear the thunder, and the lightning show against the buildings was spectacular!!! It is also a great place to come and watch 4th of July fireworks!!! But get here early... as the years have gone by, more and more people seem to be discovering this place!
