Urban Oasis for a Peaceful Stroll! Centennial Lakes is a…read moregreat outing, earning five stars from me. I wanted a nice place to stretch my legs, and this park was just right. The paved paths make for an easy and accessible walk, suitable for a quick escape or a leisurely stroll. What really stood out to me was how quiet it felt. Even with buildings in the background, the park feels remarkably peaceful. The gentle sound of water, the rustling of leaves, and the overall calm let you forget you're in a busy area. It's a fantastic bubble of serenity. The scenery mixes urban sophistication with natural beauty. Modern buildings create a sleek backdrop for the beautifully designed waterways and landscaped grounds. Even without full bloom, you can see a real commitment to diverse plants here. I can't wait for a return visit in the spring! I can only imagine how bright and colorful it gets when everything is in full bloom. If you want a peaceful place to clear your mind, enjoy some fresh air, and take a nice walk, Centennial Lakes is a must-visit. Whether you have 15 minutes or an hour, it's the perfect spot. I left feeling refreshed and energized. I can't wait to see it come to life in the spring!

The space is vibrant, playful, and beautifully designed -- there's something fun to look at around every corner. The staff is consistently warm, welcoming, and all smiles, which makes the experience even better. For drinks, I ordered The Revitalizer, a zero-proof cocktail that basically tastes like a piña colada (my favorite!) -- smooth, sweet, and absolutely perfect. My husband went with the Rock & Rye Old Fashioned, which was light, smooth, and super easy to sip. We kept it simple with the Chips & Dip and House Cut Fries, and both delivered. The guacamole was fresh and flavorful, paired with perfectly toasted, well-seasoned chips. The fries were out of this world -- hot, crispy, and served with a delicious Sriracha ketchup. I also tried the horseradish mustard aioli (not pictured), and it was SO good with the fries. We always have a wonderful time here and keep coming back for the great vibes, tasty bites, and consistently amazing service!

NOT YOUR MOTHER'S MINI GOLF! Skyline Mini Golf is a little…read morewacky and unconventional compared to your average mini-golf, but if you're a mini-golf fan, it's a must do! Pay at the front desk at the Walker Art Center and then take the elevator to the 7th floor to play. An attendant will give you your club, ball and score card there. There are a wide selection of ball colors to choose from, which makes it fun. I chose neon pink. :) One huge attraction of this mini golf is the fact that it's on the rooftop and there are views all around of the city. The first play was using your club as a cue on a billiards table to direct the ball into the pockets/holes. (See my photos). Another play was tipping a tilt table to get your golf ball around a maze and into the hole. I failed miserably at that one! It's a pretty short course, but very different, very artsy. Don't expect it to be anything like you've played before. We played the 10 holes for $12 (Summer 2024).

All entrants pay an admission fee (kids under 5 years are free), and all video games, kids rides, and older-style games are free to play. Mini golf and some other activities are Ala carte. There is street parking and an underground parking lot, but, on weekends, parking can be tough to find. There is a cafe to purchase food. Options are flatbreads, baskets, tacos, and more. The food quality is pretty good, but pricey. I get it. The place probably has large overhead costs, so a business needs to make its margins. There is also a beverage wall with various kinds of drinks (mostly-all (?) alcoholic), which are self-pour. I forgot to take photos. Trust me when I say the place is very unique and is great to check out. Pros: - Great place to bring kids - The older-style games are very amusing Cons: - Food is on the pricier side

It was explained to me that the whole thing was run off an iPad in the back room. We went for New Year's Eve had a lovely time, food was great as usual. They even brought out one of my favourite pinball machines as a request. The only thing I could knock a star down for was I paid over $10 for probably the worst milkshake I've ever had. Seriously, the milkshake wasn't much thicker than water. And it was very small. Other than that, I'll just remember not to get the ice cream next time. The best thing about Can-Can Wonderland is the fact that it's a real arcade, not a kiddie ticket casino. And in the evening it becomes a very nice adults only place but still doesn't feel like you're gonna get in a bar fight but you can simply just have a good time..

If you're looking for a spot where little kids can feel like PGA champs (with a lot of parental…read moreassist), this indoor mini golf course is a gem. The vibe is part Northwoods cabin, part whimsical putt-putt wonderland--with twinkle lights overhead, fake pine trees, and just enough obstacles to keep it interesting without causing a tiny human meltdown. The highlight? Watching my kiddo in his sunhat take his "pro swing" with a bright orange putter--while Dad provided a hands-on golf lesson that was equal parts adorable and chaotic. (Note: teaching patience on a par-2 hole is an Olympic-level parenting event.) Course is clean, staff was friendly, and the layout made it easy to play without constantly bumping into other families. Bonus points for the fact that it's indoors--so Minnesota weather can't ruin your plans. Would I recommend? Absolutely. Whether you're chasing hole-in-ones or just trying to get a kid to hit the ball in the general direction of the cup, it's a win for all ages. I'll be back for the driving range later. Try them out!

I also love the very last hole, if you get a hole in one you win a free round!!! One down side is they only except cash, I'm not sure why, with today technology its soo easy to set up your business to make it credit friendly. Tip: After 9:00pm you can save $2 off, visit website for coupon. Also they have lights for night golfing.

All we did was upload receipts to the MOA app which accrued points to redeem. This was the first time we redeemed points and it was well worth it. The course was fun but backed up at certain holes. We started play around 2:30pm. They also have great views of the Nickelodeon Universe. (Amusement park) definitely recommend this on a cold day in the twin cities!

Even…read morethough I came back close to the time the kitchen took last orders, the waitress was friendly and was not rushed for us to order, eat, and leave. She was patient and took time to talk about menu recommendations and give time to decide what we wanted. The patio seating was pleasant; only two other tables occupied at that time. Could see people playing bags in the common area, which was fun dinner entertainment. Here's the meal breakdown: - Watermelon Quinoa Salad -- excellent salad! Usually would have passed over the salad but our waitress highly recommended it and I'm glad we ordered it! Hearty salad with quinoa, kale, sunflower seeds, feta cheese. Sweet and juicy watermelon is a perfect compliment! Delicious summer salad! - Burger -- Great smash burger! The burger was covered in gooey cheese and topped with house made pickles. Nice crunch with the softness of the meat, cheese, and buttery bun! - Goat Cheese & Mushroom Pizza was okay. The flavor of the dough was good; it's just that one side was thicker and was not as cooked through as the other side, so it looked and tasted doughy. Although, the more cooked side had a nice herby crust edge and the toppings were excellent together. Overall would rate 4.5. The food is good and will return again with friends to try more! Thank you for a great dinner!

We…read moredidn't do the golf simulator, but we loved the upscale and moody vibe of this place - plus it's in the heart of NoLo, so the perfect spot to start the night. My friend and I split the Margarita pitcher for $35 on HH, which got us each about 2.5 drinks. Not a bad price compared to drink prices at other NoLo restaurants, but I'd say it's too pricey not on HH. These were really fresh and light margaritas, not syrupy and mixy which I appreciated. A friend and I split the whipped Goat Cheese pizza and were surprised that it was one of the best pizzas we've had in the area! The flavors were fantastic and the crust was perfectly done. We were expecting more bar-food, so this was a pleasant surprise! Definitely would come back here for HH and eats before a night out.

This time it was a disaster. Completely overrun by little kids who treated the course like a playground. Some had parents who were present and not trying to keep any order. In fact, we had adults just standing around the holes we were playing. When I asked one lady if she could move, she asked why! People were running around randomly playing--total chaos. An employee walked through and did nothing. If I was looking for a jungle gym for my small children, ok, but DO NOT COME HERE TO PLAY A ROUND OF MINI GOLF. You can't!

We held my son's birthday party there on a Friday night with 12 kids in attendance. All of the staff were so helpful, kind, and patient.

It wasn't as busy as a Saturday or Sunday, which made it easier to keep track of the kids and likely contributed to the staff being so accommodating.
