The Minneapolis Home & Garden Show is happening this weekend, March 30 – April 1, and next weekend, April 6-8, at the Minneapolis Convention Center.
This first weekend is Family Weekend, and kids get in FREE! (Next weekend they’ll be $4.00 per child ages 12 and under).
There is a NEW Family Zone with lots of entertainment.
Here’s what the Family Zone will offer:
-Rainbow Play Systems will be all set up, with multiple swing sets, trampolines and free giveaways.
-Gamin’ Ride of the Twin Cities will keep your littles dancing with iDance DDR (Dance Dance Revolution).
-Alternative Landscaping will show you how to test out your golfing finesse on their putting green. Your kids (and likely you) will also marvel at the turf-covered car!
-Barnco will bring a themed mini escape room experience to the Show. If you haven’t tried one of these wildly popular escape room experiences yet, here’s your chance!
-Human on a Stick will be offering free Segway demos to teach your family how to ride in style.
-The Bakken Museum will entertain and inform your family with activities related to science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
-My Mobile Agents Realty has an activity called “Out Growing your Space?” featuring an actual living room that a homeowner has outgrown. The interactive display is not only fun but is also a great way to learn about home buying and selling from on-site real estate agents.
-Usborne Books & More will be promoting the benefits of books with story time.
-Mirror Me Perfect will provide a fun photo booth with pictures you can take home. Photos are free on Sunday, April 1 only.
