Tomorrow, July 15th is a Free Admission Day at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. If you can’t make it on that date, mark your calendar – each third Monday of the month is a free admission day.
More details about Minnesota Arboretum Free Admission Day:
Located near Chanhassen, the Arboretum is a place to embrace each and every season. The Arboretum offers a wide range of activities and classes for all ages – take a look at what they offer on their website.
The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, a top visitor attraction, is more than 1,200 acres of gardens and tree collections, prairie and woods and miles of trails. As a premier northern garden, the Arboretum was born out of the University of Minnesota Horticultural Research Center and established in 1958, with the Men’s Garden Club of Minneapolis, Lake Minnetonka Garden Club, Minnesota State Horticultural Society and other community supporters creating the Arboretum as a gift to the University of Minnesota.
Here’s a unique experience for any gamers in your life – check out Fallout Shelter Arcade in Minneapolis and enjoy some virtual gaming! Right now you can save on your gameplay with this Groupon offer: pay $16 for four missions (reg. $30) or $30 for eight missions (reg. $56).
Each mission is 10 minutes long, and you’ll play in the Podbay which features 12 sleek, retro-yet-futuristic Virtual World Tesla II cockpit simulators. Fallout Shelter Arcade is located at 451 Taft St NE, Suite L4 in Minneapolis. Hours are Thursday 5 – 9 pm, Friday 5 – 10 pm, and Saturday 1 – 7 pm.
With no exaggeration and without a sliver of hyperbole, it’s a stone-cold fact that there are no other arcades like Fallout Shelter Arcade. It’s a rare place where gamers can be completely immersed in virtual realities without typical gaming distractions such as noisy roommates, infringing house cats, or dayjobs, or even light itself. That’s all due to Fallout Shelter Arcade’s distinct attraction: The Podbay. Like something out of a gamer or an Air Force sergeant’s dreams, The Podbay features 12 sleek, retro-yet-futuristic Virtual World Tesla II cockpit simulators (the only cockpit simulators of this kind in all of Minnesota). They look like pods you’d learn how to fly a Harrier with, escape from an alien spacecraft in, or survive an alien attack in…but they’re being used for a much greater purpose: making the video game experience as awesome as it can possibly be.
Games hosted by the Pods include Battletech, in which players become one with a thirty-foot tall, 75-ton walking tank and blast the kablooey out of other podding gamers. The other pod-perfect game is Red Planet, where you control a Vectored Thrust Vehicle (VTV) across the terrain of a Martian mining canal, racing other VTV’s through narrow corridors, and occasionally playing games of Space Chicken with oncoming aircraft. The expert staff, known as Mercs, are always on hand to help out rookie pilots and find new challenges for hardened virtual air-jockyes, and Fallout Shelter’s pay-per-play gaming hours help first timers quickly earn their virtual pilot’s licenses.

Choose from the following games:
Tickets are in the Outfield Reserved sections (periwinkle color in the diagram below). Goldstar also frequently has tickets for St. Paul Saints games.
Another cheap option: get berm admission for $5 apiece at the gate. The view isn’t as good as it’s a large grassy hill located above the bullpen, behind left field (the picture at the top of this post shows a view from the berm). Still, it’s cheap! Limit 8 berm tickets per person.
Catching an MLB game at a big stadium is great, but there’s a special kind of fun you have from watching pro baseball in a more intimate setting — especially if that setting is beautiful CHS Field and the team is the St. Paul Saints. Part of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball, the Saints play the game at a thrillingly high level, with a roster that includes young players on their way up to the big leagues. Come out and enjoy a fun night of baseball against the backdrop of the beautiful downtown St. Paul skyline while sipping on local brews and snacking on tasty local bites.
