Each month, Minnesota Monthly magazine rounds up new tourism happenings around the state in its Discover MN section. We've got a few things to note in particular.
For those traveling between Minnesota and Wisconsin near the metro, the St. Croix Crossing Bridge finally opened — 20 years in the making, it should ease up congestion inherent to the charming-but-less-efficient historic Lift Bridge in nearby Stillwater.
Giants Ridge in Biwabik has long been known as a first-rate golf and ski destination.
I recently learned that the Tilt-A-Whirl was invented in Faribault some 90 years ago — and it made its debut at the Minnesota State Fair. The city worked to restore a couple of the cars, now on display outside of downtown businesses so you can admire the craftsmanship and snap a few selfies!
