Holiday Activities on the Cheap
In Minneapolis:
Target’s Holidazzle, FREE.
Macy’s 8th Floor, Day in the Life of an Elf, FREE.
Quick Tip – save on parking and take the light rail instead. Park for free along the line and take the short train ride into the city.
In Saint Paul:
Tip From Sarah: “Free ice skating at the Wells Fargo rink downtown St. Paul at the Landmark Center. It is like our own mini version of Rockefeller Plaza! Festive, fun and FREE! There is even free skate rental with a Wells Fargo check/credit card.” It’s $2 for skate rentals if you don’t bank at Wells.
Holiday lights display at Rice Park, FREE, and they set the lights to twinkle for five minutes every hour, on the hour.
Other Holiday Lights Displays:
IBEW display at Phalen Golf Course, $10 or just $8 on Sunday through Thursday.
Linders/Gertens store display at their main garden center, FREE.
The Fischer Home in Plymouth, FREE, and set to music!
Winter Solstice Celebrations, for something a bit different, yet family appropriate:
Drumming the Soul Awake, MN Opera House, $20, Tomorrow night at 7:30
Winter Solstice Drum and Fire Jam, The Cedar in Minneapolis, $10, the 21st at 7:00.
And from PegBeg and the gang at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater:
“If you’re looking for an awesome entertainment bargain, and something special for your family to do during December together…this is something to be enjoyed by everyone from Grandma and Grandpa all the way down to the grandkids…
Chanhassen Dinner Theatres is offering a $49 dinner AND show ticket through December 30th for your choice of any of three musical productions: Another Night Before Christmas, Nunset Boulevard (the new Nunsense world premiere) or Okalama! Callers must ask for the $49 deal to receive it and the offer is valid on all remaining tickets! Another added bonus…parking and coat check is absolutely free and our building is decked out to the max for Christmas, complete with lights, dozens of trees and live lobby music, oh and a roaring fireplace to boot! It’s a cozy, warm, magical, musical evening for the entire family. PS: this is a savings of up to $26 PER TICKET!”
And speaking of the Globetrotters, not that we were, but maybe WE SHOULD, they’ll be playing in Mpls the 26th and 27th. Tickets start at $24, which isn’t crazy-bad.
One Comment
If you buy the “Home for the Holidays: A MN Christmas” at Target for $10, you get a ticket for the Phalen lights thing. So if you plan on going on a weekend, you essentially get the CD for free
