Farmers' Fourth of July Oliver H. Kelley Farm Sat., July 4, 10:00am-5:00pm Outstate
The Fourth of July isn't just about drinking beer and watching glittery fireworks explode in the sky while Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" blares from a radio.

Mini-Golf Science Museum Of Minnesota Daily from Wed., July 1 until Mon., September 7, 9:00am-9:00pm St. Paul (Downtown)
There are no windmills with blades obscuring the holes at the Science Museum's Back Yard Mini-Golf course. It's not tacky like that. Using a theme of earthscapes, it is educational instead. It also takes the term "water hazard" to a whole new level—or multiple levels—on a couple of... More >>
