Just returned from a visit to my hometown Minneapolis and I have to give a shout out to the amazing bookstores in the Twin Cities. The image above features the Wild Rumpus Bookstore in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis. While you are there, be sure to say hello to the chicken Carl Sagan and all the other kid-friendly critters in the store. For more information on the neighborhood, check out my illustrated map of Linden Hills. Of course, I have to mention another favorite bookstore for kids in the Twin Cities, the Red Balloon Bookshop.
Here are a few more fun attractions near Wild Rumpus Bookstore in Linden Hills:
- Enjoy homemade ice cream and fresh coffee at Sebastian Joe's Ice Cream
- The Como-Harriet Streetcar Line—a restored century old streetcar that runs form Lake Harriet to Lake Calhoun from May to October.
- Creative Kids Toy Store and Bibelot Gift Shop.
