Fun place to go with the pandemic, it lets you be away from people while not being cooped up in the house. It also isnt hard to do so I definitely recommend

A hidden treasure in a very unlikely place. Minnesota does a really good job of valuing and maintaining natural beauty in urbanized environments. The way the park and activities are cradled inside the woods and natural feeling trails is awesome! Make sure you bring mosquito spray.

Downstream from the Falls is this beautiful park. Follow the stream for tiny bridges, a natural kiddie pool, and gorgeous alcoves for peace and relaxation. Mild hike. Totally worth it. Specially beautiful this fall, love the leaves falling into the water

Amazing local park. Good hiking a creek has wading area for kids. In park restaurant serves amazing seafood.

The Falls are always a great time with family and friends. Even better when its almost 80 degrees in November in Minnesota.

Minnehaha Falls is located within this park although it is a nice location to visit on its own. There are plenty of paths to walk and places to picnic.

Beautiful,quiet, peaceful, and I didnt have to wear a mask. I felt free like Americans should everyone was nice and happy

Lots of wide open space, great for walks, picnics, beautiful scenery for a Twin Cities locale. Its not exactly full of activities but is a pleasant place to spend an afternoon. The bicycle Surrey was a nice touch, although a double one with two older folks and a grandchild is a bit of work. Ill walk next time, you really dont need one for a short visit. Well go back for sure, the falls alone were worth the trip.

This is an absolutely gorgeous park and the waterfall was breathtaking! My family and I traveled to area for a weekend get away and I am so glad that we visited this park, we walked around for a bit and enjoyed the scenery and rented a wheel fun bike. Omg it was AWESOME! We will definitely be visiting again!

This is one of my absolute favorite parks. The waterfall is beautiful and there are so many places to enjoy it because of the many walkways above and below. There is even a place downstream where kids can wade into the water and explore. I often see people having professional photos taken because there are so many beautiful spots. Depending on the night, there are musicians in the park adding to the atmosphere. There is a multitude of picnic areas, bike and pedestrian paths, and great views. Dont forget to stop by the Dairy Queen right by the entrance.

It could be beautiful and so much better. The problem is that its full of people and tourists who dont really care about the park. There is trash and grafitti everywhere.

This place was nice, had good natural beauty. Unfortunately its not maintained very well and theres litter in places, still a nice place to visit and take photos.

If you can look past all the graffiti, its a beautiful place to take a walk with family. Plenty of places to take a pictures. The walk will get your heart rate up. We didnt find free parking but it was like $4 for 2 hours. Not much trash around. A few squirls and birds.

A must-see for locals and visitors alike! Drop by for a quick peek of the falls, or bring your hiking shoes and follow the creek all the way to the Mississippi! You can also rent surrey bikes for 2-4+ people and hit the bike trails. Dont forget to grab a bit at Sea Salt!

I enjoyed the scenic views as my friends and I walked through the park. It was a great way to get out and stay distanced from other people.

Lots of fun to be had at the Falls with extensive hiking and biking trails! Fun to see all the children!

Awesome Place to Hike and Hang out with friends and Family..Food and Ice Cream! !

The falls is absolutely captivating, and serene. Plus there is plenty of partly shaded, hilly, open lawn area with picnic tables for large gatherings. At the south end of the park there is one of the largest dog parks in the twin cities, where the dogs have access to the river. Parking can be tough to find, so plan extra time to find a spot and to walk to the park.

Love this place every time I visit here

Very pretty relaxing place. Great for family and picnicking. Free fun

A little bit of heaven in the city! Beautiful grounds and views of waterfalls, streams and ponds amid lots of trees and greenery, flowers. So very peaceful and calming ~

Watching the water waking up gives me a feeling of renewal, cleansing and peace at the same time!Being in the present moment in nature nourishes your soul. I walked away imported and at peace again!I love you Mother Nature, Mother Earth! Blessed be!

Beautiful, well-maintained, huge park. Was delighted by the paucity of trash in comparison to the throngs of people. The parks department is out here working hard! really great maps everywhere. cute overlooks. amazing.

Soooo amazing, lots of walks,trees,swimming,fresh air,biking you name it!!! Definitely were coming back!!!

Incredible natural falls, and great hiking trials. Very clean, very well upkept. Many sculptures along the paths, an old rail depot, and some history into the first settlers.An absolute paradise in the middle of Minneapolis thats a MUST visit, a great escape from the downtown hustle and bustle, to reset mind and soul.Probably my favorite place I found as I was exploring the city.Highly recommend.

Loop trail closed half way around without any notice.Also the bridge was closed at the far end of the loop.Otherwise a very nice park.I would have rather seen a minimum maintenance travel at your own risk sign. Is everybody stepped over the closed trail sign anyway.

Most beautiful waterfall. And we heard some good music next to that waterfall

Beautiful place! Easy walk down to waterfall. Very clean and friendly people.

A bit busy and you cant get close to the waterfall without breaking the law. However it is a beautiful park with lots of cute walk paths and sitting areas.

So, so beautiful! Huge falls- the water level was incredibly high! Lush green trees and grounds. Nice walking paths on either side of Minnehaha creek. Very beautiful and scenic! You can even wade in the river downstream at a natural wading pool.

Finding this park is like finding hidden treasure! All my years living in Minnesota I never knew we had such a beautiful park. Definitely check out their waterfall, its a majestic force of nature. They also have some history behind the park, like the first house built on the west of the Mississippi River, and the first Railroad on the west of the river. Theres also a playground for kids if they ever get bored. I also saw a stage, so I assume they have concerts every once a while. Whats that? Hungry? Forgot to pack a lunch? This park has got you covered with a seafood restaurant. Tired of walking? You can rent a Pedal Car to give your feet a rest. Its no Central Park in New York, but I say its worth a visit.

Very nice waterfall. The walk from available parking was a long walk to falls but nice walk along the Mississippi river.

A very great place to enjoy true beauty within the city, and when there if you enjoy seafood do stop in at the #Sea Salt

Great place to jog walk and get exercise in a peaceful atmosphere

It was beautiful the restaurant was very good outside eating crab cakes were excellent. Pricing was reasonable. The staff was all being safe and very nice. Was cool under the trees considering the heat and humidity.

Wonderful place for a nice walk and to enjoy art

The beauty of mn. But the ignorance needs to stop. All Lives Matters.

Nice stop to see the waterfall. Everyone going around the fence to see it. Just open it up!

Very nice place to stroll. There are bunch of benches if you want to have a little picnic. Theres also a park for the kids to enjoy. We really going there. You can also rent bikes. Theres a small parking lot and you have to pay to park.

Great place to visit for peace and quiet. Long trails and not too crowded. The steps are where they should be however on a hot day, it will wear you out. Worth it to get to the sitting pool though. Plus its in the land of Prince. Cant go wrong there.

Very cool and big park. Plenty of walking and running trails along with dedicated bike trails. Beautiful waterfall. Surprisingly clean considering the amount of people visiting.

Great place to take in the sights of nature and relax. Sit around hike enjoy the falls. So much outside to enjoy. Parking is relatively cheap and there plenty of wide open space to enjoy with friends family or just a wall Al by yourself.

Such a beautiful place and site to get out and enjoy nature just in all an all beautiful place

This park has great potential to be beautiful. It is filled with so much trash and homeless ppl are everywhere

This park is so pretty! I love walking by the waterfall, but also, the trails are nice as well. I went earlier in June, but they weren’t open :/ renting bikes was also a thing that was closed as well. I do hope they open it back up, because otherwise there aren’t a lot of things to do there.

Awesome Place , I enjoyed the scenic views as my friends and I walked through the park.

Our own waterfall! Right in the cities. Never gets old. Take the nice trail to the Hidden Falls regional park and back.

Nice place for a leisurely stroll to see a waterfall and dip your toes at heading pool.

LOVE this place, my family has been going since I can remember. When I was little I absolutely loved climbing on the rocks and other areas off the trail that my parents didn’t want me around (whoops) It’s beautiful no matter the time of year, just be careful with the ice in the winter. The falls are always a great sight, and the whole place is perfect for photos. On the hot days, there is a small area for kids to play in very shallow water (and adults too) Different paths and trails to try so it doesn’t get boring and is always super clean and well taken care of. I have brought every one of my friends here at least once!!

This is by far my favorite park to go to. Ive been going since I was little and now that Im older, I can bring my child as well who also loves it here. Fun to see the amazing waterfall. Highly recommend to all to visit this park!

Almost always extremely busy but a great place to walk around and explore. I love walking down there river trail even more than looking at the falls.

Its a good place to relax and have a good time plus you can get a good seafood when its open

Great park, with tons of fun things to do and see.

Love this place. It gets very crowded, so if you need to social distance, not the place for you. But its nature in the city and VERY beautiful!

Loved my first time here, amazing view

I go to the falls all the time and always enjoy my experience. The waterfall itself is a thing of natural beauty, but the surronding trails are just as scenic. I have taken many photography trips here over the seasons and now they are the postcards I send out, when I send postcards.

This is a great park to visit! Clean, and plenty of paved paths to venture out on. There are, of course, some great nature trails to walk along, too! Theres a small restaurant here, and we were even able to rent a surrey to ride around on. Overall, this is a fun and scenic park to visit.

We got married there almost 2 years ago love going back to see the falls

Beautiful place all year around and the waterfalls is great to see throughout the year. Winter is slippery getting down to the waterfalls. There are lots of people during the summer time. Great place for family event and picnic.

Its nice but not gonna lie the river smells bad a little bit, if the smell isnt a problem for you, its very beautiful

Beautiful autumn colors. Nice walking paths. Great views.

Always the perfect place for a walk. A little crowded, and many jumping over the closed trail barriers, but it was a lovely day for a walk.

Awesome spot. If you are adventurous you can jump the fence and get back behind this waterfall. Follow the trail down to the river. Great for swimming.

Wishing for better access down to the base of the Falls. Still, a beautiful to enjoy and people watch.

My boyfriend and I go as often as we can. It makes us centered on nature which is where calm and serenity can be magnified.

Such beauty inside the city limits! This park is wild & free & makes you feel like youve left the city & noise far behind, but nope! Its so easy to loose yourself to the wilderness of the park.

Minnehaha Park is one of my favorite places to hang out. We found a little path off the beaten path and it was just gorgeous!

Perfect spot to spend the day. We hiked all around the falls. The trails were in excellent condition. The few people we met were warm & friendly. The restaurant seems open, delivering meals for takeout. I dont know how good the food is, I havent tried it myself, however, others who have tried it say its fantastic. A bit pricey, but very good. Who knows, maybe Ill try it next time.

Beautiful area; very relaxing

Great park with great flow. Parking built all along the trail is brilliant. They need to remove the pay for parking. The park is a public space, access shouldnt be restricted. People should be encouraged to do more physical activity, not discouraged.

Beautiful waterfall and it does not feel like the middle of a city at all. It is almost like you are in a remote and peaceful location. But still space and area to just hang out or site see

Beautiful sprawling park with a waterfall inside it. Enough space for having a great outdoor time. Designated walking and cycling paths. Walking trail is enough to keep everyone interested.

Nice park. Love the waterfall!

Having such a beautiful natural feature in the cities is so nice. Parking is kinda of tough on the really nice days, but its worth it.

So relaxing and great hiking paths.

Great place to visit a little nature in the city and let the kids run off some steam.

Decent hiking trails for MN and the falls are nice. Great dog area on the river.

Beautiful gem in the city. The waterfalls are pretty, great trail by the river and the restaurant next door is a great.

Very scenic - especially with the falls swollen from spring rains. Redesigned play areas. Excellent food offered by Sea Salt restaurant. Close enough to other local fare like ice cream, coffee, and pizza

So beautiful and fun for all ages!

I love going to the falls. Great trails, dog friendly. Lots of people having fun.

A historically great park, but being over run by graffiti and people going behind the fence barriers and tearing up the ground. Stay on the trails people.

I went to the falls during the late February melt. Notice people were climbing up and into a hole in the frozen waterfall. I highly recommend going behind the falls if you can. Its pretty mesmerizing how the sunlight hues off the frozen water. Super glad I went. Plan to go again

Waterfall just out of the heart of Minneapolis. Family friendly hiking trails.

First time there since COVID. It wasnt busy for a SAT which was nice. Seemed like most people tried to keep their distance. Only a few obtuse peopleNot a lot of masks. Maybe 50/50 ? So we had to be a little tactical navigating around. It wasnt bad though. Had a relaxing time.

Beautiful park. Its awesome to have such an amazing waterfall right in the city. Unfortunately, the trails following Minnehaha creek all the way to the river were closed when we visited, which was a huge bummer. The waterfall is gorgeous and there are tons of other walking/biking trails connected to the park. Parking is a bit annoying as you do have to pay if you use any of the provided lots.

Super fun and amazingly pretty in the winter! The falls has almost entirely frozen over. Incredible! There are lots of facts and signs and things to do and see. Worth checking out!

Lovely picnic in Wabun picnic area. Had unexpected pleasure of listening to some live music by two fiddlers who were practicing. No mosquitoes. Had a very nice time.

Nice park and waterfall to visit, although I wished that it was a bit more of a hike to get down to the falls to have it a bit more adventurous. Can have lots of people closer to the evening, so the earlier you go the better.Highlight of the visit is the area where most people can sit on the beach area / sidelines of the river and get your feet wet. Some people like to jump into the river and bathe there with their clothes on, which was weird.

Amazing trail! Probably one of the best near the citys! Amazing waterfall, and a nice loop trail. Possible to do it in Sandals, but would recommend shoes. Can get a little muddy depending on the rain.

Great park with easy access. Pay for parking. Nice walk, pretty waterfall, interesting history.

Beautiful nature in the midst of a bustling city! There are quite a few trails and walking paths as well as food and beer. If youre lucky, there might be music and/or other entertainment going on when you are there!

Great walking trails and excellent sight seeing experience.

Minnehaha Regional park was a great experience because of the amazing environment and awesome things to see. The main part of this park was a waterfall that looked beautiful as you can see in the pictures. There was also a nice walking trail through historical statues. There is a fee for parking there, but the cost is low at around 2 to 3 dollars per hour, so it wont burn a hole through your wallet. Overall, this park is totally worth visiting if you like the view of nature.

Great waterfall with lots of trails that intercept so you can take different route each time

Awesome falls. Well worth the trip. Paved paths all over and very easy access to see falls from top but had several cement steps to get down to water level.

Really nice place to take a walk - you forget that youre still technically in the city.

Throughout my life this park was part of many key moments in my life. In 2007 I said my I dos to my best friend. Always love visiting.

Lovely park. The trails are easy to walk and you can get more adventurous if your like.

Amazing place to see and walk around in!! Good for picnicking, sight seeing, and photography!!!
