St. Louis Park

Spend a half‑day in St. Louis Park, walk 15 min between the Pavek Museum and the library; no overnight stay needed.

St. Louis Park is a western suburb of Minneapolis with a small cluster of museums, a library and a few recreation spots. It can be explored in a few hours, making it a day‑trip from Minneapolis rather than a base.
