I was here for the Eagan Indoor Market (select Wednesdays) being held in one of the gathering rooms on the lower level. It was a bit smaller than I'd been anticipating from the list of vendors on the website, but it was still nice to browse local small businesses, and I'm glad the community center makes the time and space for folks to do so. While there, I scoped out what appeared to be the "main attraction" so to speak, the fitness center, which has a large gymnasium, equipment, and an indoor track. They had plenty of showers, bathrooms, water fountain/bottle refill station, coat racks, vending machines with beverages and snacks, and a place to get changed and such. Seems really nice, but the pricing online seemed a bit steep to me ($40/mo.); a shame, my husband and I have been looking for an indoor track so we can run in the winter without worrying about slipping on the ice! There's also an indoor kids playplace ($8 fee) on the upper level and a senior center on the lower level. So they are trying to cater to all ages here. The parking lot is quite sizable, so no worries about finding a place to park (unless of course there's a big event going on at the festival grounds!). There are plenty of outdoor amenities in the surrounding Eagan Central Park too, such as a kid's playground, splash pad, fitness course, walking paths, and bandshell. There's also a postbox near the entrance of the building if you need to drop off some mail while you're here.

The natural light and vintage look was everything to me. Marnie Girard was the best event planner! She accommodated even the smallest of requests-even a very special off-the-cuff task I don't know I could've trusted with anyone else. AMAZING. Our guests raved about the food and thanked Marnie all evening!! If I did it all over again, I'd book 317 with Marnie in a second!!

They are both fast to respond to any and all of my questions and they were so helpful when it came to the pesky details and execution of our wedding. The food was fantastic and all of the staff were so friendly and great. Not to mention the venue itself is stunning but we all know that you have to have a great team behind it to make it a perfect wedding spot. I researched numerous venues in the area and this place gave you the most bang for your buck. I can't recommend 317 On Rice Park enough!!

I've only been a guest here, but after attending my second event in this space, here's deets:…read more I attended a wedding + reception, and the Visit Saint Paul Annual Tourism Celebration event here! The signage is a bit confusing, and I could see others struggling to find it too - you enter at the front of the building and walk down a very long hallway to get to it. The space is conducive to receptions and events: the first space has a bar and open area, and the second area is totally blank so can be transformed into a wedding, seating for a speaker, or a tabling event. At both, the bar and catering were great! One thing that bothered me at the recent event I went to: there's a beautiful glass garage door that's the focal point and backdrop of the space: it's where speakers would stand, or the couple would stand. At the recent event, there was a car parked right there, and it's a concrete slab with a gate. I know some of that is out of their control, but might be worth telling folks not to park there so you're not looking out at someone's Toyota Corolla.

Placed my order right before they closed on Monday and they were still able to accommodate next day delivery. Opted for the designers choice, and was so pleased with what they put together! Lots of beautiful fall colors and unique accents, and definitely something worth of brightening someone's day :) Great communication throughout - they sent a picture of the bouquet once it was arranged, confirmed as soon as it was delivered, and promptly followed up when I had a question about the delivery. Highly recommend for people in the area, and will continue to use as my go to choice whenever I want to send a special something to my friends in the area!

The road the park is off of, Butler Avenue , is extremely busy for a little two-lane road (everyone apparently uses it to get to highway 52), but once you pull in, it's like a sigh of relief. Nice big parking lot can accommodate lots of vehicles, if you are visiting by car. There's a big bathroom facility right there at the entrance (that's even open during the winter!) with additional tables and grills for picnicers. The lake is just a short distance away, and there's a short trail that goes all the way around it; very picturesque! Additional trails will take you through more landscape and trees (all paved and in great condition), and even over highway 52 into the adjacent park (Kaposia) and further to Simon's Ravine Trailhead, if you're up to it! Truly excellent to have the option to really stretch your legs and go some distance. If you're not here for hiking, there's also an impressively-sized kiddie park that's modern and has some fun unique play structures. (Legit, I wanted to go play on it and I'm 38 1/2.) I think it might've included a small splash pad, but I couldn't be certain in the winter. I spotted some tables with built-in chess/checkers boards, as well as some additional picnic tables. A pier that extends into the lake for fishers. By the kid park there's another large building with external-facing restrooms, and the building itself looks like it gets used for classes or something if you're there at the right season. Seriously, what a great resource for the neighboring communities! If I do move nearby, this would be an excellent spot to be able to relax, play, and exercise.

The dance floor was just big enough to fit the people that wanted to dance. The lighting was nice. The stage for the band to perform was a nice touch too. I definitely think you get your money's worth at this banquet hall. Catering is done by Asian Deli, so you get authentic SE Asian cuisine for the events, but I heard that they cater based on the tastes of the banquet hall renters. I heard someone talk about a Baptism party and a Quinceanera taking place the following weekend too. Would definitely hold an event here.

They had an automated attendant that was a little frustrating to work around as we wanted to ask questions. Getting to a real person took awhile and we were pretty frustrated by the time we got through. We decided to just show up and take our chances and we are so glad we did. The dining room had an hour wait but we were able to sit in the bar area immediately. The bar area consisted of numerous booths and feels less like a bar and more like a distinguished upgrade of an Applebees. The staff was so attentive and everything came out so quickly. We tried the pizza fries - expecting a version of cheese pizza cut in strips. Imagine our surprise and delight when what was delivered was soft, squishy dough with sweet tomatoey pizza sauce arrived. It was amazing! The last bite was barely made when our entrees arrived, piping hot. We tried the pasta pesto with chicken and the chicken parm. Both were perfectly cooked and had such fresh, homemade flavors! Accompanied by the world's softest bread and flavored butter. The portions were huge and we brought more home than what we ate. The server was a highlight. So amazing and attentive. The staff worked together to provide an excellent experience - keeping drinks filled, clearing plates as they emptied, making sure we felt seen. All in all, we will be back. The only negative was that irritating phone attendant. It doesn't represent the kind of service you will receive once you arrive. Don't let it scare you off!
