Big Willow Park


Parks & Geology

Another great park on the #mnbucketlist is Big Willow Park in Minnetonka off Minnetonka Blvd. It’s filled with athletic fields but has a lot of hidden trails that lead through railroad tracks and beautiful marshes. Great spot for a run on a Saturday morning!

Tucker’s Tree House


Parks & Geology

The #mnbucketlist isnt just for food, its also for hidden tourist attractions, too! Like Tuckers Treehouse in St Louis Park off Minnetonka Blvd. It’s this crazy, elaborate piece of history that you can’t help but stare at.
