Start your afternoon adventures at Theodore Wirth Regional Park. This 740-acre park is THE place to go for winter sports. We recommend hopping on a fat tire bike and exploring the miles of snow-covered trails. The Loppet Foundation grooms and maintains three singletrack fat-tire biking and snowshoeing trails, ranging from easy to advanced. Additional fat biking trails, managed by Minnesota Off Road Cyclists, range from intermediate to extreme.

If cross-country skiing is more your style, Theodore Wirth offers World Cup-class skiing with miles of groomed and single-track ski trails. Whether you prefer skate style or classical skiing, you’ll enjoy the variety of ski options, from open sections with spectacular views of downtown Minneapolis to wooded trails overlooking scenic lakes.

For dinner, it’s on to Punch Bowl Social for some serious foodertainment and real-world funning. Punch Bowl is known for their legendary punches, craft beverages (with or without booze) and scratch kitchen food that’s fit for foodies including shareables, salads, tacos, burgers and sandwiches. With endless gaming options, Punch Bowl has a little something for everyone. You’ll have a blast playing ping pong, billiards, bocce ball, Giant Scrabble, Giant Jenga, bonzini, foosball or bowling. Would-be singing sensations will love their karaoke room and they even have a vintage arcade. Bonus: they’re open until 2 am on weekends!

After a leisurely brunch, it’s game on! First stop is the ROC in St. Louis Park for some open pond hockey on the outdoor covered ice rink. There’s nothing better than the sound of hockey sticks clashing against each other and pucks hitting the wooden boards. Rental skates are available.

Then it’s off to Brookview Golf & Lawn Bowling for some winter disc golf. Will you throw an elusive ace (aka a hole in one)? Broowkview features two 18-hole disc golf courses for double the fun and rental discs are available.

The Park Tavern has been a landmark destination for over 60 years. Try their award-winning burgers and made-to-order pizzas, or splurge on the prime rib special with mashed potatoes. Want to catch the hockey game? The main dining room features wall-to-wall TV screens! At 9 pm, the lights go down and it’s time to hit the alley – the bowling alley, that is – for all-you-can-bowl cosmic bowling! Have a nightcap in the 11^th Frame Bar and try your hand at darts.

Explore the great outdoors! Rent a pair of snowshoes at Westwood Hills Nature Center, a 160-acre nature area featuring marsh, woods, and restored prairie. With more than 3 miles of groomed trails, Westwood offers ample opportunities for wildlife spotting. Or get in touch with Minnesota’s Nordic roots and take a traditional Norwegian kicksled out for a spin on Westwood Lake. Glide across the snow and ice with these wood and metal sleds. Take turns “driving” and riding. It’s a great way to get some exercise while getting back to nature.
