This means Saint Paul includes attractions like the State Capitol Building, as well as Como Zoo, historic houses, museums and galleries and the Wabasha Street Caves.
Minneapolis also has museums including the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Mill City Museum, as well as a great many open spaces and parkland with lakes including beaches, hiking and biking trails and more.
