In Minnesota we heard kayaking would be great. We heard about Zumbro River Ratz and took a short…read moretaxi ride from Rochester on a sunny day. The gentlemen who own the business couldn't have been nicer and found the perfect kayaks for our adventure. They drove us upstream 5 miles and dropped us off, made sure we were comfortable and situated in the water, and off we went. The scenery was picturesque, the river had a nice current but not too overpowering, and we had a wonderful and relaxing afternoon on the river. We saw a bald eagle, yellow finch, a cardinal, and a heron amongst other wild life! At the end of our trip Zumbo collected us and brought our kayaks in, we couldn't have been happier. We had a great experience!!!! Go here!

We were nothing but upbeat and pleasant. The owners act as if you are bothering them by trying to tube. It wasn't busy, there was no reason to be short. The river is clean and safe. We are all experienced tubers. The price seems a little high when compared to other river tubing. I would go back to the river but probably use a different tubing place. One experience with those people was enough.

Super cool! The people who work here are really nice and…read morethere's a lot of different grades to climb. 5.5 to 5.13. There is an easy kid section, a boulder, and auto-baleys everywhere. The gym room upstairs is small, but there are plenty of things in it. Also upstairs is a hangboard with a book that has routines to follow. They have different style yoga classes almost every day. Great place to check out for a day or train everyday.

I went during a day when school was out for break, so there were a TON of kids there by the time I was done climbing, but everyone did a good job of taking turns and not hogging walls, so I was still able to get plenty of climb time in. You don't have to pass a belay test before using the auto-belays, just watch an instructional video on how to use them. Staff is available to show you how to partner belay if you'd like.

Such a lovely beach a few minutes out of Rochester!! Visited this area before but didn't realize…read morethey had a whole beach (only saw the areas where boats would go in) The water was pretty clear considering there was plenty of people there. Also saw some small fish. The sand does have rocks in it, so just be aware. They have showers, restrooms and a place where you can rent gear. The campground seemed clean (just drove by it), and they had a playground for the kiddos. There are trails nearby too but didn't explore them. So happy to revisit this place and will definitely be visiting again!

The Coyote Creek staff were and are so friendly and helpful! They had me feeling confident and familiar with my firearm, especially after a private lesson from John Russell, in just a matter of days. It's a low pressure environment with tons of amazing and fun courses available to help hone your firearm skills in a plethora of settings. You'll also get to meet their lovely dogs! Can't recommend enough!

Dont bring your CWD testing samples here. I dropped mine off over 3 weeks ago and when I called to…read moresee if they sent them in, I was informed they are holding them until after the gun season! I said I am waiting to process my deer until I get the results and reply was "huh". It is free to send them in for testing so why hold them? Why are gun hunters more important than the archery hunters? So if I shot a deer opener archery, they are going to sit on it for 2 months? Never agin will do any business here.

Anderson Wheelchair is convenient because it is so close to Mayo and I hope that not everyone has…read morethe same experience as me. Here is my story. I will never be returning to them. I literally had just learned that I was not able to put weight on my leg and I was 100% at risk of a femur fracture and we were leaving for a trip the next day. I got a prescription from my doctors for a wheelchair and we were all set to pick the wheelchair up. It turns out that the wheelchair prescription wasn't worded correctly for a lightweight wheelchair so we needed a new prescription. At this point, it was approaching 4:30 and they close at 5:00. Michelle was the one 'helping' us and it was very evident that she hates her job and possibly life in general. She was rude and unhelpful. Trying to get the prescription edited so we could be on our way, I had a doctor on speaker phone from Mayo outside of the OR trying to assist and she refused to be helpful or even give that incredible doctor the time of day. He rewrote the script for me and emailed it over to her, and she had attitude just waiting for the email to confirm it had made it to her. The doctor asked that she open it and make sure it is worded properly and by this time, it was 4:59 and she said she didn't have time and that she would look at it in the morning. I don't care as much that she was rude to me, but to be rude to a doctor taking the time of day out of the actual OR to try and assist and be treated like crap by her was absolutely unacceptable. When we went to return the wheelchair, she was still miserable, but slightly more pleasant than the first experience. I will never be back as I don't think the rest of the world should suffer depending on what Michelle's mood is that day. And to the doctor who helped me out, he deserves an award for going above and beyond and this speaks volumes to his patient care. He is amazing and Michelle could learn a thing or two about compassion and empathy from him.
