    Entry way decked out for the holidays
    Tiffany W.

    I give credit to my mom who is always finding unique spots to visit for our family. We went to the Norway House for the 2022 Gingerbread Wonderland and it was cozy, creative and crafty! There is an abundance of gingerbread houses crafted from local families and artists. Many of the designs have Minnesota connections such as Dairy Queen, Carbone's Pizza, and a variety of shops from Grand Avenue in Saint Paul. There is a little train that runs on the tracks occasionally as you view the art which brought such holiday flair. Every staff member from the front desk check in to the gift and coffee shop were patient, kind and provided great hospitality. Inside the Norway House you will find both a gift shop and coffee house. From the gift shop, I purchased notecards by local Minnesota illustrator, Kirsten Servig, along with a 2023 Nordic calendar. From the cafe, we purchased cardamom mochas and an Americano with caramel. The entire experience was meaningful and adorable. I look forward to returning to the cultural center in the future!

    Nordic waffles with smoked salmon!

    I really enjoyed my visit to Norway House, which seems to be the Norwegian Center in Minneapolis. I have never been to any other Norwegian Center in the US so maybe this is the main one. I highly, highly recommend the Kaffebar, which is easy to find as soon as you get in. I really enjoyed their Nordic waffles. I chose the one with smoked salmon. They were so good! These waffles are not like Belgian waffles. They're very thin and have a pretty shape like a flower. I also had a type of potato bread with cardamom sugar and sprinkles. Maybe they're called lefse? I could have spent more time here but they were having a meeting and I was politely asked to rush out. There's a library and you can find many books in their language. When I was there, they were having an exhibit by a local photographer. The exhibit was excellent, about roles women were expected to play on the 50s. I went before the pandemic. I think they have limited hours now.

    Norway house is so fun!!! I went there today for their gingerbread bread tour and it was great. The place was all decked out and the line was long. For $5 entrance fee it was well worth it. There are over 80 houses all done by various bakers and individuals. The houses were beautiful and some were of real houses, breweries, and more. They have a little gift shop and cafe for cookies, waffles and more. There are plans to expand the house and add an addition which is really cool. I think it will be great as the space they currently have is pretty small. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have for spring and summer.

    We were driving to the American-Swedish Institute, saw this place and decided to stop by - it was like a little Scandinavia tour for us! The house looks very Nordic inside and outside and we ended up visiting their gingerbread homes exhibit with some famous sights presented in it. Very beautiful and detailed. They also have a cafeteria with Norwegian waffles and hot drinks - perfect way to get some rest after visiting the exhibit. Lastly, there is a plenty of free parking right next to the building. Norway house is definitely worth a visit whether with family, as a couple, or alone. I'd say plan 30 mins - 1 hr. There's also a small museum store worth exploring.

    It's sad to hear that the Saint Paul location on Dayton avenue is closed down I went there…read moreapproximately 33 years ago I know that's quite a long time but they were so incredibly helpful and compassionate during a very troublesome and stressful time in my life I was having severe mental health issues and since my boyfriend's parents lived directly across the street I went there in midst of a psychotic crisis they treated me with complete respect and were not condescending at all they were so empathetic and one of the staff members even took the time to drive me the hospital to be checked in for a psych eval they went above and beyond even though they're now at a different location I hope that they are still doing incredible work.

    This is a SAFE PLACE. One can feel it in the air when you enter…read more My child, who prefers they/them as pronouns, is currently seeing staff re. gender . They have been seen AND HEARD by caring, knowledgeable, professional people who are taking the time to educate and help them deal with extremely personal sexualty issues. I do not know all the technical terms but I CAN tell you that after a 17 year battle with many other less sensitive healthcare professionals my child is now becoming happier, more confident, and a mentally healthier individual. My child's patner is also seen here because she has an extreme reaction to needles. Family Tree is the only resource (after 7 other facilities) to supply the accommodation necessary for her anxiety control so a blood draw could be accomplished. The clinic has gone beyond any normal standard of care. Lastly, when visiting, I appreciate the calm attitudes, the unique waiting room, and the educational materials available. It is a SAFE PLACE for all.

I have not used any of their services but instead have been the beneficiary of attending several conferences hosted by the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits in this beautiful building. All meetings I've attended here have been held in their auditorium which has a large drop down projection screen with floor to ceiling windows in one half of the room that looks out onto a lovely courtyard. The room is well mic'd for sound and the most recent setup of the room was classroom for 64, with plenty of open space for more room for tables and chairs. They have a covered garage for parking which is a nice bonus.

The only negative I have with them is how they handle their invoicing. They are the only therapy provider that we've ever dealt with (and we've used many over the years) that does not provide date of service detail, nor an indication of whether they've billed insurance and if so how much the insurance covered on their invoice. The problem with this is that if you have an HSA, as we do, then you are actually supposed to keep that detail on hand in case you are audited. What this means is I have to go back and ask them for the detail every time they bill us. Other Dr.s offices give these details automatically. Wilder has at times.
