Enjoyable site, though seats are a bit close. Always clean…read more Bathroom is small for number of people, but again kept clean. Seating is fast and enough help to get everyone to their seats. If I recall, no issues with people in front, enough height to see over them, but right next and not easy to get out of seats, without people standing and stepping back. Almost no room for coats (many do not check), but floors very clean, so can be placed on floor

I'm so glad I was finally able to experience this venue. Parking is easy with free ramp and street parking next door to the theatre. Our seats were right in the middle of the center section. The steepness of the seats was great in that the person in front of you never blocks your view. Drinks were available for purchase and you can bring them to your seat. Staff was super friendly. It felt a little odd to see a 'Queen' concert in a theatre when I felt people should be up dancing and singing but the band did a good job of engaging the audience and the last few songs got the crowd on their feet. Nice experience.

The typical format is first doing some songs with your kid followed by an instrument (rhythm sticks, double spoon instrument, tone block, egg shaker, cymbals) and ending with storytime using sounds. There are lesson plans shared at the end of class to continue your music and motion at home. To sign up, look out for sign-ups on Health Partner blog.

Like when I asked to order shoes several days before she started. No problem, the owners were so helpful. One of the owners is there when we come to our class. So friendly and bright.

Fantastic dance school... My 14-year-old daughter has been attending dance school here for the last…read more2 1/2 years (she transferred from a different dance school). We have been happy from day one. Melissa, the owner, has a wonderful disposition and truly cares about her dancers. All of the teachers have been wonderful... And I really feel like this school is challenging my daughter to be a better dancer. Further, they take dance seriously here. Dancers are expected to behave appropriately in class... At our former dance school it was not uncommon to see the girls misbehaving with the teachers not doing anything about it. The teachers here demand respect and the girls follow through, while having fun at the same time. I'm also pleased with how the school does at dance competitions... The teams tend to rate on the higher side consistently... And they work hard to get there. If you're looking for a dance school for your child, I highly recommend the Dance Connection in Rosemount.

First of all this is in Apple Valley MN not St Paul. My child has been going here for 6 years. Very…read moregood teachers. My child was a child to howl about in January also. The class sized are high however, 32 in his class. Field trips are good. My child has felt safe and not bullied. There is some diversity but not a lot. School has early start at 830 am and done by 240 pm. This appeals to working parents as most elementary schools begin at 920. This school also has some open enrolled students. There are a lot of PTO fundraisers but no pressure If you dont participate. If you live too close you have to pay for bussing. This school was built in 1970's and has a boiler heat system and my child wears t shirts in winter as a result. They are very aware of peanut and nut allergies here also.

On my final full day in Eagan earlier this month, I took a drive around the area. I saw a red art…read moreinstallation that looked like red toy airplane had been in a fight with a red pylon, and both had lost. I kept on driving down Lexington Avenue South to shop at Walgreens before making my way over here. Eagan Art House is located in Patrick Eagan Park. It offers art classes for children, so parents can enjoy the park if they want to as their kids create their masterpieces. There are also art classes for adults. I was there on a Sunday, so nothing was happening. There are a ton of parking spaces at the park, and a few around Eagan Art House itself. Because it is on a park, some activities that it offers, such as the Art Block kickoff, can take place either in front of Eagan Art House or in the park if there is a need for more room. The Art Block series of events highlights art creations, music, performances, outdoor art exhibitions, and more within the community. Some of the classes offered include pottery and weaving. They mainly target kids from ages 4 through 16. There are also adult classes, but I didn't see what classes were being offered. It's encouraging that there's always room to learn and be artistic! I'll need to return and see if I can take a crash course in a craft when I'm back. I'm still not sure what the art installation signifies, but it's definitely open to interpretation. (121)

Super easy to order tickets online and pick your seats. I love walking in straight to our theater…read moreand seats without having to get scanned in or anything. Loved the option to purchase child tickets at a lower price since we took 4 kids with us. Omg reclining heated seats made it so comfortable and the heat stayed on for a long time too! Great place for date night, bar and axe throwing were super busy when we left. Kids were very enticed by the arcade there too. Such. Great place for all ages.

The employees and staff were helpful and friendly, making us feel welcome so we'd have a great experience. The seats in the theatre are spacious and plush, featuring both powered recliner and heat! You can also pull up the armrests if you've got a special somebody you wanna cuddle up next to during the film (I did! My cute hubbie!). The cup holders are fairly large but couldn't quite accommodate my Hydroflask. I got popcorn before the movie, which was, for movie theatre popcorn, pretty affordable. About eight bucks for a medium and nine for a large, and either medium or large bucket gets a free refill! Great deal, since usually these places make you spring for whatever big combo to get a free refill. They had plenty of fancy deals though with popcorn and candy and beverages if that's your thing. Lots of Zootopia collectible merch. The lobby is pretty upscale fancy, featuring a big column fireplace in the middle, along with an island style bar. There's an arcade and apparently axe throwing also available at this location. Bathroom I used was clean. Parking lot isn't massive and shares space with the busy Trader Joe's, so it can get a little squirrelly if you're here at peak hours trying to hunt for a spot. Fully expect to be back for whatever movie next piques my interest. We don't do movies super often, but this theatre is close to our residence and really was an excellent experience overall!

What do you say about a public school as old as Valley Middle School? Mind you, is 42 years old…read moreactually old in building age? Does a public middle school warrant a review? All I can say is that this school really appears to try. Yes, I would conjecture it's all about the money (conjecture being the $10.00 word of the day). However, the STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) program that is hot in education news does appear to be in full throttle. I do think the school is a bit behind in the STEM program, but that is mere speculation (yesterday's word of the day). The 3:AM summary? If someone with children thinking about moving into the area happens to read this, know that Valley Middle School is pretty good.
