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 believe we visited eight different Amish farms. we even got to go into a house for a little tour something you would not be able to do unless you took this tour with Rich. He's been doing it for over 20 years so he's gotten to know these amazing families quite well so you get a couple more perks than doing it yourself the wealth of knowledge, the tour inside of an Amish home, etc.

The Park Inn Hotel was part of a structure designed as a law office and a bank. The project was started in 1909 and opened in 1910. Wright on the Park offices are kitty-corner from the hotel, across the plaza and next to the bandshell. While it is technically a part of the hotel as the management office, it isn't really a part of the hotel. The corporation was formed in 2005 to save the structure that had fallen on hard times. After a $20 million renovation, the Park Inn is now a 27 room boutique hotel. Wright on the Park also functions as a most interesting gift shop along with the executive offices. In the gift shop, you will find a myriad of Frank Lloyd Wright themed merchandise, clothing, FLW designs on socks, jewelry, glassware and unique Frank Lloyd Wright books and ephemera. Be sure to pick up souvenirs of your visit to the Park Inn Hotel. While you're there, ask about a tour of the hotel. There's a nominal charge for the tour, plan on a couple of hours. You'll get a detailed look at the hotel and the many touches that are uniquely Frank Lloyd Wright.

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!

You can learn about owls, hawks, snakes, turtles, and more. You can find each of these live animals inside. Most have a write-up near their exhibits to teach you more about them.

There are plenty of interactive displays inside and several places where little ones can play. Whether outdoors or indoors this is the perfect way to spend a day.
