Why You’ll Love Shakopee & Minnesota
Shakopee sits just 25 minutes southwest of Minneapolis–Saint Paul, the vibrant Twin Cities famous for live music, street art, food halls, and the enormous Mall of America. Minnesota is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” so on your days off you can swim, kayak, paddleboard, or simply relax on a beach with your new friends.
Summer in Minnesota means long, warm days, outdoor festivals, farmers markets, and epic sunsets over the Minnesota River. Come autumn, the park transforms for Halloween Haunt and the landscape explodes into red and gold – a view you’ll never forget.
