"Why Visiting New Ulm is Fun and Interesting" 

We often smile as we hear from visitors how surprised they are at what a unique and attractive town we are, but they also marvel at how much there is to do.

Families will like Flandrau State Park on New Ulm’s west side with their hiking paths (birding, too!) and outdoor pool, but may also enjoy two city parks with swimming pools and the new bike path. A BMX track, skate park and frisbee golf course offer entertainment for the somewhat older kids. A paint-ball park is outside of New Ulm and there is an indoor swimming pool and walking track at the Recreation Center.

Fishing or boating is available on the Minnesota River that flows right through town and winter brings ice-fishing, sledding and skating in both outdoor and indoor ice rinks. 

New Ulm is famous for baseball at Johnson Park, but football, soccer, volleyball, and other sports, take place at the many city parks. Enjoy yourself year-round in New Ulm as a spectator or participant!
