I recently lost my parrot who was my best friend and partner in crime Stinson for ten years in a…read moretragic accident at home and I was so attached to him I could not imagine his beautiful feathers being lost to the dirt. I ended up putting him in my freezer for 6 months while mourning but he could not stay there forever.... so I contacted Ron about getting him taxidermied. I was nervous about my decision because what if he came back looking monstrous? He's a tiny green cheek conure! He was in my fridge forever! I had little hope anything could be done but I had to try. Met with Ron who was an absolute sweetheart. He has done smaller animals before but since they are quite the pain to do he reserves it for special cases and agreed to help me. I left my poor baby with him and waited for his call. When he finally messaged me I was so excited and curious and nervous. I drove over right away. And wow, did my poor baby look great. I hugged him and pet him and yelled at him for his actions that caused his death. But he was back with me now. And this was his memorial. Going to get a glass display dome case and a plaque for him to avoid his brothers and sisters from accidentally messing with this masterpiece. I know it's unconventional but it's helping me feel whole. I was curious about how the other parrots would react to him but they don't seem to flinch at the site of him. While on the other hand, my plush toy owl sends them screaming! Very pleased and happy for his services.

I was there about 10 minutes when my 5 year old came to me with tears in her eyes saying the teacher told her she can't be there on Tuesdays and has to come on Mondays. I had to interrupt the two young women who were talking about their day at the front desk to ask what was going on, and they informed me that we signed up for Monday evenings. I said no we have other commitments on Mondays and basically was told, sorry nothing we can do for you. So THEY put the wrong night down and now I have a crying 5 year old that was told to leave class, when it wasn't even her fault. Then they told me that my daughter was there on Monday evening, and showed me the class roster and her name was checked off. She was in a different city taking swimming lessons at the time they said she was there. So for a positive, safe environment that is being talked about in the main page and website, they are pencil whipping the attendance, so they actually have no idea what kids are there or not. As I said we have been spending our money there for 2 years, and now they can't or won't try to fix their mistake. The owner was too busy to come and talk to me when asked to speak to one of them, and I was told they would contact us the following day. Do not trust this place, do not trust them with your child's safety. There are a ton of other better options in the area. Some of the instructors are great, but some are just kids themselves that do not teach the kids anything. Instead of making sure the child was having the best experience possible, they made her feel singled out and like she did something wrong, and trying to explain to a 5 year old that she didn't do anything wrong but was still told to leave class in front of all the other kids is just embarrassing for her. On the bright side, we went to the competitor and were able to sign up for less, and at a more convenient location in a nicer facility.

This was my first visit for the purpose of volunteering at USA Swimming Junior National Championship. Parking can be a challenge for visitors. There is a nearby parking garage and very limited surface spaces. The area around the pool was clean. The building although dated to possibly the 70's is in great condition. The majority of the facility is the competition pool used by the University of Minnesota Swim team. The facility is nicely maintained. However, faculty and students can use the pool. The Olympic size competition pool is 50 meters with movable bulkhead, platform diving and well. The aquatic complex consist of approximately 145,000 gallons of swimming capability. The Long Course pool has eight lanes for competition.. The spectator area is expansive and spans the entire length of both sides of the pool and well. The public locker room area is large and pretty clean. There were two malfunctioning items. Great facility and hope to return for another event in the near future.

I would go as far to say that their services are better than Sydney's Olympic Park Aquatic Center. The Rec has honestly changed my life for the better. In my experience, the machines have always been clean and plenty to go around for everyone to work on any muscle or work on cardio. It can get a bit crowded at peak times; there's always space for everyone, even if you gotta wait a bit for a specific machine.

To be respectful of those whom registered, it would be courteous and mindful for her to have waitlisted guests warm up on other treadmills to allow a couple extra minutes for registered ones when parking is bad, etc. (e.g. after the seven minute warmup). the gym itself is wonderful and most instructors are more mindful and gracious. Those at the front always greet kindly and the location has some nice amenities. It is my favorite lifetime venue for its more intimate size.
