It was great to go back here so many years later and see this space turned into a holiday shopping space for local artists. There was something for everyone on my list. It made me smile to see the old polar bears and shirts for sale also! We went downstairs to a temporary MN sports exhibit which was open and free to the public. There was a lot of MN college and pro memorabilia on display. Hope they do this again next year!

I so appreciate the Holidazzle moving to Loring Park. Perfect space to host this type of event…read more Lots of vendors with things to see, experience, and do for the whole family. I would recommend coming hungry to take advantage of some of the delicious food offered. It is free to enter which is nice, so there's not a lot of pressure! Tons of holiday lights, it looks so pretty at night! Kid activities include a climbing wall, a carousel (although for the young at heart too), a tube slide, and of course the Yeti. Although I didn't get to experience it, there appeared to be a space for adults to have a cold one and enjoy themselves as well. Stay for the fireworks, you won't be disappointed. Also, several photo ops, live music, and Santa!

It's a must-try for anyone with a sweet tooth!

The first thing you notice is the smell of fresh waffles. And it's lovely. They have a selection of different creations and specials that you can order from. And if you are not in the mood for nice cream, they also have some interesting drinks you can try like bubble tea and smoothies. But try the ice cream. The ice cream is creamy and delicious and the creations, while not cheap, are very tasty. The staff is friendly and helpful and will assist you if you have questions or not able to decide. We like this place for a sweet treat or a special celebration.
