See everything from Broadway productions to classic opera performances at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts. The home of several cultural and arts organizations, including the Minnesota Opera and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, this European-style concert hall is the place to go for live entertainment—from plays and musicals to ballets and the Russian circus.

Use the luscious Marjorie McNeely Conservatory’s gardens and galleries as the romantic background for your date. This conservatory contains an abundance of artfully arranged botanical life as well as sculptures and beautiful architectural features. Stroll through the Japanese Garden or be awe-struck in the Enchanted Garden, filled with butterflies.

Take your friends or family out to a ballgame. Catch a game (and maybe a home run) with the MLB Minnesota Twins at Target Field. This sports team is named after the two great Twin Cities and shares the same fighting spirit, winning three World Series championships and numerous other titles.

Come by the Chatterbox Pub in Saint Paul on Wednesday and Sunday nights to sing your heart out. This cozy corner nightlife lounge dusts off the karaoke machine for its customers at night, and their drink specials and local microbrew drafts keep the customers singing along with all their favorite tunes. And don’t miss Music Bingo on Thursdays!
