Saint Paul Family Fun Day & Date Night: Discounts & a GIVEAWAY

I’m SUPER excited to partner with Visit Saint Paul to feature all the city of Saint Paul, MN has to offer, plus I have a FABULOUS giveaway! Be sure to enter below for your chance to win TWO $50 gift cards: $50 to the Red Balloon Bookshop, and $50 for Momento Restaurant. 

I previously wrote about the Visit Saint Paul “Local Lover VIP Pass.” It’s totally FREE and you can get tons of great discounts for places all around Saint Paul. Be sure to sign up for the pass by the end of February to be entered into giveaways and get your free t-shirt! The deals will then be good through September 29th, 2023.

Hurry up and sign up for this FREE pass now!

There are many discounts on the list I had never heard of, and the deals are pretty darn good, so I decided to spend a Saturday enjoying the pass with my kids, and then for date night with my fiance!

Family Outing!

First, I should note that my kids are teens, and we’ve done a lot in Saint Paul including the Minnesota Children’s Museum, Como Zoo, and Saints games. But this was an outing to discover things we hadn’t done, thanks to the Local Lover VIP Pass. Thank you, Visit Saint Paul, for making this possible!

Nina’s Coffee Cafe

Our first stop was to Nina’s Coffee Cafe for some yummy beverages! It was busy here but we got our drinks pretty fast. I had “The Neighborhood” iced coffee drink, and some hot chocolate for the kids.

I got $1 off my large expresso drink!

Red Balloon Bookshop

Then we headed to the Red Balloon Bookshop for $5 off a $25 purchase. They have books for kids, teens and adults here and we found a lot of good choices as well as gifts.

You can also order books online so check it out!

Free Things to Do

Next were some FREE stops including the Cathedral of Saint Paul and the Minnesota State Capitol (did you know the capitol offers free tours?).

More Discounts

There are of course many more family-friendly Local Lover VIP Pass discounts such as:

DGPilot-Gifts For Aviation & Travel Enthusiasts

• 10% Off Purchase

Minnesota Transportation Museum 

• Saint Paul Family Special

Candyland 

• Free Chicago Mix® With $15 Purchase

Date Night!

Then it was time for date night!

Momento Restaurant & Bar

My fiance went to Momento Restaurant + Bar which was AMAZING. We got chicken risotto and a peanut butter burger with very berry salad. And we used our VIP Passes for FREE beverages!

I had a yummy Winter Sangria with a flaming rosemary twig on top, plus a PB&J Burger with a Very Berry Salad. Yummm!

They have a wood-fired oven here which you could smell as soon as you walked in. My hair actually subtly smelled like smoke (like a campfire) the rest of the night. It was actually pretty cool (I didn’t mind!).

And the ambiance is great with a view of the Landmark Center.

Holman’s Table

Then we had dessert at Holman’s Table where you can watch planes and helicopter flights at the adjacent Saint Paul Airport. We shared an “After Dinner Mint” dessert while watching the runway.

This place is worth checking out for any event though. They have an event center called the Amelia Earhart room, and plenty of patio seating in warmer weather. Save $5 off a $50 purchase here with your VIP Pass!
