Winter Destinations for Your Minnesota Winter Getaway
The coolest winter destinations are found in Minnesota! We'll help you plan a Minnesota winter getaway full of action and relaxation.

It's probably no surprise that Minnesota winter vacation spots are some of the same Minnesota vacation destinations that we love in summer. They just take on a whole new "flavor" in winter. Most Minnesota Resorts and Lodges offer winter vacation packages for families, singles and couples. You can choose to stay indoors or get out and play in the snow.
Minnesota ski resorts offer the perfect winter vacation. Even if you don't ski, you can go snowboarding, tubing, snowshoeing and discover many other ways to have fun in the snow. If you want to learn to ski, you will find lessons for all ages.
Another favorite winter destination is the North Shore of Lake Superior. It's amazing to see this great lake dressed for winter. One of our favorite things to do in winter is to rent a room at the Hampton Inn in Canal Park in Duluth. Be sure to ask for a lakeside room. You can view the winter "lakescape" from your room, take a wintery walk on the lake walk, or take a drive up scenic Highway 61, returning in the evening to your cozy room.

Minnesota Waterpark Hotels are a great family winter getaway destination in many parts of the state. You can enjoy outdoor winter activities then retreat to the tropical environment of a waterpark.
The Twin Cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis are truly all-season cities. Our cold and snowy winters and no hindrance to enjoying the art, culture and nightlife in "the cities." You can explore much of downtown St. Paul and Minneapolis via miles of climate-controlled skyways. Minneapolis tourism destinations that are top picks for summer vacations can be even more fun in winter. The same is true for Saint Paul Minnesota vacations
Visit the Science Museum, the Children's Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Walker, our famous theaters and so much more. Stay right downtown in a comfortable hotel.
