Despite what you may think about our Northern state, Minnesota is full of swoon-worthy places that could fit inside many a daydream. From castles to epic gardens, these places might seem like they could only exist in your imagination, but we promise, they’re very real and right here in MN.
- The Grand Marais Shore
Flickr/Andrew Smith The North Shore is absolutely stunning, but in Grand Marais, in the right weather, it reaches an entirely new level of beauty. With the sea smoke and fog this looks unreal.
- The American Swedish Institute
Wikimedia/Jerry The stunning architecture of the Swan Turnblad Mansion is amazing.
- Munsinger Garden and Clemens Garden
Flickr/RLEVANS These St. Cloud gardens are truly one-of-a-kind. Walking through them is an out of this world experience, and you will be dreaming of the flowers for months afterward.
- Mystery Cave
Flickr/jnaithani In Forestville Mystery Cave State Park, you can find this epic cave. it is the longest in the state, and the pools make it even more stunning.
- Noerenberg Gardens
Flickr/m01229 Crystal Bay on Lake Minnetonka holds one of MN’s most unique and beautiful gardens. The gardens are traditional and the seasonal blooms are to die for. Don’t forget the camera!
- Ice Castles of Eden Prairie
Flickr/Amy Meredith Come winter and Minnesota’s ice castles are ready to go and out of this world. The intricate detail and the vivid lights make the views something you can’t even imagine.
- Park Point
Flickr/Sharon Mollerus The beach at park point looks like a piece of coastal beauty. It’s hard to believe you can find sand this fantastic in Minnesota. Even when Lake Superior’s shore freezes, the frozen waves are incredible.
- Poplar River, Lutsen
Flickr/Andrew Olson The river by Lutsen is magnificent. It adds to the beauty of the nearby North Shore, and with the sun filtering through the forest, this view is worthy of a daydream or two.
- Palisade Head
Flickr/Mr. Moment Palisade Head on the North Shore is a rock formation like no other. Standing atop the cliff provides an unreal view of the lake, and is an unforgettable experience.
- Artist’s Point
Flickr/Roy Luck Another Grand Marais beauty, this point out on Superior has some of the most gorgeous views, not to mention stunning rock.
