ATTRACTIONS
Begin your day with a hike at Quarry Park, including a picnic that you picked up from a local cafe. Keep the adventure going with a roadtrip to a zoo, a brewery, or a cheese maker, a winery, a museum, or–well you get the picture. Maybe shopping and strolling is more your thing? Downtown St. Cloud is a bustling epicenter for unique food, fun specialty shops, great entertainment and historic views. Nature more your style? Head for Munsinger and Clemens Gardens along the Mississippi River. Speaking of that mighty body of water, why not rent a kayak and explore the Beaver Islands for an afternoon? Or if you’d rather kayak current-less, Lake
Blacklight Adventures
