Voykit pocket guide · United States

Rosemount

Skip Rosemount unless you have family or business there. A day-trip from Saint Paul or Minneapolis covers the ice arena and a movie — 2–3 hours, no overnight needed.

Rosemount is a Twin Cities suburb with a few local attractions — an ice arena and a multiplex — but no destination draw. Most travellers pass through on US 52 between Saint Paul and Rochester. If you are in the area, the ice arena is fine for a skate; otherwise, spend your time in Minneapolis or Saint Paul.
