*We were given a membership to the Minnesota Children’s Museum to help facilitate our review. All thoughts and opinions are based on our experience, are honest and 100% ours.
One of my very favorite parts of celebrating the holidays is blessing those around me with gifts. Between December and January, we also celebrate all four kid’s birthdays. Phew! Let me tell you; it is a lot of celebrating, cake and presents. We also celebrate the joy each of our kids brings to our family. We come together as a team to bless each other. One of the ways we do this is through time together.
We wanted to share one of our favorite getaways with you. We start by booking our hotel at the Country Inn & Suites, Shoreview, MN. They have a waterslide; I have to mention the slide first because it’s true what our kids look forward to the most. They also have a hot, fantastic continental breakfast. The staff is friendly, the entire hotel clean and orderly, and we can add points to our Club Carlson card. If you are not a Club Carlson member, make sure you ask them about it. It is free, and you can earn points towards future stays, Amazon gift cards, airfare and more.
The delicious continental breakfast at the hotel starts our day off right. As It saves us time, energy and money. Once we have had our meal, we are off to enjoy the rest of our day in the Twin Cities.
Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America, The Sculpture Gardens at the Art Museum, and The Minnesota Children’s Museum are some of our favorite to-do’s. Membership at the Children’s Museum is the gift that keeps on giving all year long. Family time, fun and encouraging learning all at the same time.
We are excited to celebrate the holidays with you. We are blessing one of our readers with the chance to randomly win a Minnesota Children’s Museum, Family Four Pack of tickets. To enter the giveaway click the link below for more details. Giveaway ends December 11th.
I’ve heard great things about the children’s museum can you believe we have never been there ☺️ And a hotel with a water slide, that one is on our list for sure!Our favorite family activity is visiting the Wild Rumpus book store in Minneapolis!
We have not experienced Wild Rumpus, it sounds wonderful. We have to visit it for sure. Yes, we love Shoreview, it just might be our favorite hotel in the Twin Cities. Thank you for commenting!
We love going to children’s museums but haven’t been to the Minnesota one yet! We’ll have to change that!
It is so much fun, especially with the new renovations. The big slide is fantastic.
This would be such a fun bing to do as a family. Thank you!
Would love to take my 3.5 and 4 year old grandchildren. This was one of my favorite places to take my older grandchildren. This would be a fantastic experience for them.
It truly is a wonderful, fun place. Thank you for commenting and welcome to the blog.
I have never been here but have always wanted to go. Thank you for the opportunity!
Our favorite thing to do together is have movie night! It’s nice to stay in and relax watching a new movie with a bunch of snacks!
I totally agree. Jammies with the comfort of home. Do you have must have movie snacks?
