Knead to Roam, a blog created by Antonia, recently published a list of ‘10 Outstanding Winter Day Trips near Minneapolis with Kids‘, and we’re thrilled to be the first destination on the list! If you’re looking for an ideal destination for a family getaway, New Ulm is a great option.

She highlights just a few of the many winter activities that kids would enjoy, starting with a cozy breakfast at the Backerei & Coffee Shop, or a trip to the iconic Glockenspiel, which performs daily even in the off-season. For outdoor fun, families can explore Flandrau State Park for winter hiking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing, with rentals available when the visitor center is open. Ice skating at Harman Park is another great option, complete with a warming house and rink rentals.

After outdoor adventures, families can warm up with hands-on exhibits at the Brown County History Museum or enjoy a guided tour of Schell’s Brewery on the weekend. For a hearty meal, try the Kaiserhoff or Turner Hall’s Rathskeller, where you can admire historic murals and experience Minnesota’s oldest bar. Got extra time? Explore the shops, go bowling, catch a movie, or explore our many parks!
