Visit the site of the Hopewell Native American burial grounds. Indian Mounds Park is home to the remaining 6 prehistoric mounds in the Saint Paul area, since the rest were destroyed as the town was developed. These burial mounds are protected for their historical significance, although you can picnic or play at the nearby playgrounds.

See the way people have moved throughout American history at the Minnesota Transportation Museum. Dedicated to preserving local railroad, bus and streetcar history, you can experience in-depth, interactive exhibits that are fun for the whole family, including historic railway operating equipment like the vintage steam engines or the operating roundhouse turntable.

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!

When a New York report in 1885 wrote that Saint Paul was "another Siberia, unfit for human habitation" during the winter months, residents were outraged and decided to put on the Saint Paul Winter Carnival to prove this statement wrong. See the festival that embraces the cooler side of Saint Paul culture and transforms the Capital City into a winter wonderland.
