This is a great park. It has two different parking areas that I have never seen completely full but…read moreif they would be there is also street parking. It has a nice walking path around the park, there is a disk golf course, baseball fields, and off leash dog areas. I especially like there is separate small dog and large dog off leash areas. There are also areas to picnic at with charcoal grills but you have to bring your own charcoal . Definitely worth going checking out.

Minnesota has always impressed me with the effort it puts into its green spaces, parks, trails and…read moreespecially its playgrounds. There are a lot of good ones scattered throughout the Twin Cities, but the Hyland Play Area is operating on a different scale. The first thing that hits you is simply the enormity of it. A landscape photo barely does it justice. This isn't a playground with a couple of oversized structures--it's an entire playscape built around elevation, exploration and seemingly endless ways for kids to disappear upward and reappear somewhere completely different. There are distinct areas that make it approachable for kids of different ages, select water features, and plenty for younger children to explore without making the bigger kids feel like they've outgrown it. But the stars are those towering structures and enormous climbs spread throughout the park. If you've got a kid who needs to "get their zombies out," this ought to do it. A determined child could probably accumulate the equivalent vertical ascent of Minnesota's Eagle Mountain before lunch. What impressed me almost as much as the playground itself was how well the space handles people. There can seemingly be hundreds of kids here and somehow it doesn't feel like hundreds of kids. The scale absorbs everyone. Instead, you get this constant background soundtrack of giggles, playful screams and kids absolutely exhausting themselves. And somebody clearly thought about the adults. There are huge umbrellas providing shade along with benches, tables and places to settle in while the kids go explore. You quickly understand why the crowd is such an interesting mix: stay-at-home parents making a morning of it, grandparents with their grandchildren, friends meeting up with their kids, and even remote workers squeezing in some laptop time while periodically looking up to make sure everyone is still accounted for. It's less "take the kids to the playground for 30 minutes" and more pack some food, bring water and make this the destination. We're only reviewing the play area for now, but based on this alone, Hyland deserves the five stars. It's enormous without feeling chaotic, ambitious without forgetting the little kids, and thoughtfully designed for the adults who inevitably spend half their day here too. Minnesota does parks exceptionally well. This is one of the ones worth going out of your way for.

Hyland Lake Park is one of my favorite places to rent a kayak and fish for bass in the Twin Cities…read more The lake is never too busy and the bass are always biting :) I easily rented a single-person kayak online and walked up to the rental booth to pick up my life jacket and paddle - off I went! There is a nice sandy beach, and other boats available to rent (including paddle boats!) This is a must-stop for your summer itinerary in Minnesota!

I took my son to Mouse Mountain inside the Mall of America to play some mini golf. If you are…read morejust wanting to play here, you should park in North Ramp Parking Structure. The course itself is nicely laid out. There are not many hole in one possibilities. We had an enjoyable time and the course was challenging. The entire round took about 60-90 minutes because there were a lot of people playing. We went in July and it was a bit hot. The air conditioning must not reach the top floors inside MOA. Tip: if you are also going to play the Rock of Ages mini golf inside MOA, they have a two course special.

BRP is as close as you can get to disc golf heaven in the state of MN. It is at least a half hour…read moredrive from Minneapolis, but well worth it if you are willing to make a day out of it. This 27 hole course is located on a 40 acre property which doubles as a sod farm. The course is open 365 days a year, and costs $5 for a day pass. Beginners will find it somewhat difficult, but not terribly punishing. There is a pro shop where you can buy almost any disc you can imagine, and there is even a concession stand on the 16th hole where you can buy beer, soda, or snacks. The course is gorgeous, well-manicured, and they are constantly tweaking it and making improvements. Hole 4 (the signature hole) is the most beautiful yet frustrating hole I have ever encountered. You have to see it to believe it. I would play here every day if I lived closer.
