Published about 1 month ago • 3 min read

Happy Friday! We're back at the weekend again and while the next couple of days are going to be a bit cooler again, we still have some fun things to do!

If you missed our Wednesday email, you might want to check it out HERE because it has multiple fun things for the weekend including the Grumpy Old Men festival, Bluey Backyard Experience and a free National Parks Pass if you have a 4th grader in the family.

Besides the weekend fun included below, there are more on the Events and Attractions tabs at the top of the website.

I'm still away, but putting together the newsletter from afar with the help of Hannah. I'll be back in full force for Monday and until then you can keep up with anything new at ThriftyMinnesota.com or on the Facebook page. Thanks for being a subscriber! I appreciate it.

Mill City Museum STEM Family Day

STEM Family Day at Mill City Museum is this Saturday, February 28th! The activities are FREE and fun for the whole family.

STEM Family Day activities include: meeting Minnesota raptors with the Raptor Center and snakes with the Minnesota Herpetological Society, inventing a boat with the National Park Service, learning how “Geology Rocks” with the Minnesota Geological Society, discovering how science and history are intertwined from from the Oliver Kelley Farm and so much more!

STEM Family Day activities are FREE but admission is required if you wish to head into the Mill City Museum. Regular admission is $12/adult, $10/senior, $8/child, and free for kids 4 and under.

Indoor Winter Art Crawl at Bachman’s

We love events at Bachman’s, especially during the bleak winter! This weekend is the Indoor Winter Art Crawl at Bachman’s on Lyndale from 10am - 5pm both Saturday and Sunday.

Check out over 50 artists of all kinds of mediums, view the Found and Foraged Organic Art Exhibit, make your own seed art (!!) and listen to live music by Sam Saccoman. Food from Nico’s Tacos and Dueling Grandmas Shortbread will be available for purchase.

This event is completely free to attend!

Prebook Spring Break Parking at MSP

Are you traveling for Spring Break? Did you know you can prebook your parking and save money? That’s more money for you to spend on your trip instead of your parked car!

We highlighted prebook parking options at MSP Airport and other local options including EZ Park, Parking Near Airports and parking at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Bloomington.

All options will save you $ versus parking day-of! They are all easy to use, but require at least 12 hours advance booking.
