What an adorable library in the heart of Mahtomedi. Part of the Washington county library system…read more They have a wonderful kids section. This particular day they had the conference room with a ton of cardboard and tools (screws and tools) for kids to build their own fort. My son had an absolute blast! Then we explored their book selection, they had a wonderful selection of books and did a great job showcasing new books. He also played with duplos, a STEM game, and hopping on the magical liquid squares. The librarians were friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be back!

Also, it has family storytimes every week which includes songs as well as book reading too. It is definitely a treasure to find many new authors that adults can share with their children too.

Each window view (other that the ones facing west) was scenic. Ramsey County took down the trees and built this crappy, uninteresting rectangular block instead. The fake "fireplace" is really a joke (I know laughing out loud in the library is frowned upon). The outlook out to the south is now the ugly 97 highway. Still, it houses the books and everything else that the RCL offers, just in a ugly rectangle.

There should be signage posted that the Library lot is for Library patrons when the Library is open.

This is a review for Health Partner Infant Seat Check Clinic. We booked through Health Partners…read morefor the Saturday clinic at 9 AM probably a month before. Also, note that these clinics fill up fast so check online and book in advance for spot in your area. The fire station is used so that you can pull your car inside the garage for the staff to check out your car. It was helpful that you can bring both cars and your car seats for staff. There is a bathroom as well for you while you wait. Once staff member available, you review your car manual as well as car seat instructions. They will assist with you finding the best position for your car seat. Also, it was very helpful that they tried out before teaching you. There is also a doll for your try to put into the seat to make sure all straps are secure. It was nice that there was reading material provided for you to review on your own. This was very educational and staff here are very helpful. I would highly recommend this for first-time parents since hospital will require this before discharging you after delivery.

I had stopped across the street to grab some Yemeni coffee and saw this park…read more A nice little place to reflect, sit with friends or alone. The part of it thought that caught my eye was the part that was dedicated to the service animals. Overall not a lot of path distance to walk but it is a nice way to recognize our vets and those that have made the ultimate sacrifice.

I thought it would be more of a trail as it's off of a lake. The trail is very short and is a dead end once you get down by the lake. There is a bench down by the water if you decide to take in the views. Otherwise it's a pretty chill memorial. I thought the war dog memorial part was cool, not sure I've ever really seen a memorial dedicated to the dogs. Thank you to those who have served!

What a fantastic hidden gem! To spend a nice spring day, my family decided to drive to the little…read moretown of Scandia and spend the afternoon. Since we hadn't been to Scandia before, we didn't have anywhere particular in mind to go. When arriving at a park, we noticed it shared a space with Gammelgarden. When we had parked to go to the playground, we had actually parked in front of a Swedish historical museum. We were so pleasantly surprised! Visiting cultural and history sites is our favorite thing to do, so we couldn't believe our luck. To top it off, they were open on a Sunday for a guided tour! Our guide, named Reese, was in costume and was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. Finding a museum open for business on a Sunday in a small town was an unexpected pleasure. For the next couple of hours, we experienced the buildings and artifacts that make up this wonderfully historic little complex, including the oldest Lutheran church inthe state of Minnesota! Each house, called "hus", was filled with original artifacts from the people who lived in Sweden or Scandia as it was first blossoming as a settlement. The museum gave us information on upcoming events and classes that each member of my family would be interested in - including an event thus summer where participants roll "meatballs" made from painted golf balls down to Gammelgarden from a shop on the main street. We will definitely be coming back!
