The warm weather has given all of us at GiftWorksPlus a little bit of spring fever. Midwestern winters are long, but with the pandemic keeping us all at home this winter it’s safe to say we are more than ready for spring! There’s nothing quite like springtime in the Midwest and a fantastic way to get out and enjoy the weather is to take a walk in the city. It’s so exciting to see the city come back to life after a long winter, so this week we’re sharing our favorite places to take a scenic walk in the Twin Cities and Wisconsin.
- Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. Take a gander through a picturesque park that will give you the chance to see amazing sculptures, including the famous cherry and spoon. Not only that but you will get a stunning view of the Minneapolis skyline!
- Minnehaha Falls. If you’re looking to get away from the noisy city you’ll appreciate this gem located just outside of Minneapolis. The trail can go for up to 10 miles, but also offers some shorter routes if you’re not looking to spend a whole day out walking. You may change your mind though after seeing the beautiful trees blooming and 53-foot waterfall.
- Milwaukee Riverwalk. If you’ve ever been to Milwaukee you already know that the Riverwalk is the place to be! The Third Ward Riverwalk is perfect for a sunny afternoon stroll to see the art studios and boutiques, or check out the Downtown Riverwalk for exploring the theaters or grabbing a bite to eat outside.
- Madison’s Lake Monona Loop. Monona provides a beautiful and peaceful location for a walk, run, or bike ride for the whole family. You can even rent bikes if you don’t have one or don’t feel like hauling it in your car. Plus, with the Monona Bait & Ice Cream Shop close by, your kids will be extra excited to spend a day out by the lake.
What’s even more impressive about these walks? They provide the perfect backdrop for the family photos! Bring your camera and snap some shots of you and your family out and about, enjoying the spring weather. Then check out our family and destination frames to keep the springtime excitement alive all year long. All of our photo frames are available for customization with names, dates, and more.
