Ready for an epic adventure in St Paul? Look no further than Can Can Wonderland, an old can factory turned into arcade, mini golf, full kitchen and more!
As my kids get older, I’m always looking for new places to explore and discover together! My oldest is almost 10 and loves mini golf, so I thought a visit to Can Can Wonderland would be perfect to kick off our summer!
Can Can Wonderland is located in St Paul is an old canning factory. It’s been completely transformed into a magical space with tons of old arcade games, epic artist-created mini golf, a full kitchen with delicious food and tasty ice cream treats and more.
The best thing about Can Can Wonderland– it’s the first arts-based public benefit corporation in Minnesota! That means when you spend money there, it actually goes back into the arts community.
When you come to Can Can Wonderland, the admission fee gets you free gaming on all 150+ arcade games in the building. We found pinball, vintage arcade games and so much more. It was great not having to bring quarters or swipe my credit card every time we wanted to play! Ages 5 and under are always FREE, but admission fees vary by day– Tuesdays $11, Wednesday $15, Thursday $15, Friday through Sunday $19.
Mini Golf is an 18 hole course that’s been created by artists. Every hole is different, amazing and they constantly change around the course! Keep in mind you can’t set your tee time til you arrive, so if you’re going on a weekend, you might be in for a wait. Mini Golf has it’s own fee ages 5 and under are FREE, everyone else is $16/person.
A big thing to note here if you are going with kids is that Can Can Wonderland becomes 21+ at 9pm on both Fridays and Saturdays. And they are strict! We came on a Friday and my son really didn’t want to leave, but we had too. I think if we visit again, we will pick another day of the week!
Can Can Wonderland also has tons of fun events on their website calendar. There are karaoke nights, art classes, performances and more!
Can Can Wonderland is located at 755 Prior Ave N, St Paul, MN 55104. Paid parking is located in a lot under the building, but there’s also free parking in four outdoor surface lots around the building and along Prior Avenue N. Hours: Tuesday – Thursday: 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm, Friday – Saturday: 11:00 am – 12:00 am (All Fridays & Saturdays are 21+ AFTER 9pm) and Sunday: 11:00 am – 7:00 pm. Can Can Wonderland is closed on Mondays.
Can Can Wonderland might not be the most “thrifty” place but it sure was fun to visit! My advice: bring your kiddos 5 and under because they’re FREE, and visit on Tuesdays for the $11 admission fee!
