Stay Saint Paul - A Capital Idea

Saint Paul is not only the State Capital of Minnesota, it's also half of the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, otherwise known as the Twin Cities. Set less than 10 miles to the east of Minneapolis, Saint Paul is home to the Saint Paul Winter Carnival - "The Coolest Celebtration On Earth." Guests of the Best Western hotels in Saint Paul will enjoy being so close to the Lilydale Regional Park - be sure to take the kids fishing at Pickerel Lake. For all the fun to be had in the great outdoors, Saint Paul also has a thriving art and history sector.

Be sure to check out the Walker Art Center, home of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, featuring the World's Largest Spoon and Cherry - how sweet it is. The Science Museum of Minnesota will be sure to draw some "Oohs" and "Ahs" from the kids.

The Minneapolis-St.Paul region is also home to professional sports - enough to meet your fancy. Head over to Target Field, and watch the Minnesota Twins pitch and hit their way through the American League Central. Basketball fan? You're in luck - Minneapolis is home to both the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA, and the Minnesota Timberwolves of the NBA. They both play home games at the Target Center. Don't forget about the gridiron. Head over to Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome, home to the Minnesota Vikings.
