Fall/Winter
With mild temperatures, blue skies and a flaming, leaf-filled backdrop, fall is Minneapolis's most beautiful season. But when temperatures drop, the city doesn't shut down.
Heavenly Harvest
Raise a glass to Oktoberfest—Minneapolis hosts several celebrations to warm your spirits every autumn. Make the short drive to the Afton Apple Festival. Apples, pumpkins and fall raspberries are ripe for picking. A relaxing hay ride and a turn through the 12-acre corn maze complete a perfect fall day.
Winter Wonderland
Celebrate the season with ice mazes, sled races and snow sculptures at the Winter Carnival. Indoors, competition heats up at the 2008 U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
