Hennepin History Museum

"The Minneapolis Institute of Arts houses more than 100,000 objects from diverse cultural traditions spanning 5,000 years of world history.".

Vintage bowling alley with a small theater attached, hosting various small-scale theater, improv, and music events. The BLB is also a decent dining and drinking option.

Five screens.

Lake of the Isles has bird sanctuaries on its (officially off-limits) islands, and a public skating rink (with warming house) that is groomed in the winter months. Check the newspaper; you may get lucky and catch a world-class speed-skating competition here. Its shores also feature some of the best climbing trees in the city—particularly for those who carry a short rope ladder in their pack—as well as a giant pencil sculpture along the northeast shore. There is no public boat rental. Boats rented or launched from Lake Calhoun can access Lake of the Isles via the lagoon which flows under Lake Street. There are also no public swimming beaches.
