Suggestions for Park near Saint Paul

Larry M. • September 20, 2016The crown jewel of St. Paul. The park hosts the zoo and conservatory reviewed in separate covers. Plenty of free parking though can be busy on weekends. The 3 bus line will also get you there.

Dad's Eye V. • May 11, 2012A great place for a casual picnic, romping around the fountain, or watching the people and squirrels! Come in the summer to sit in the shade, and in the winter to see the Winter Carnival fun!

Steve B. • January 12, 2016Beautiful spot! LOVE the stream!

Sami93am A. • July 20, 2013Loved the #summerdabbler. Great location for food, beer and fun!

Pez • July 27, 2013You'll want to watch the flamingos. They're so peaceful, quiet, and funny if you look at how cautiously and delicately they step into the water. Don't forget their deserved camera shot!
