I'm heading up there the beginning of August to visit family and to do the Dirty Girl run in Mpls. Where can we take the two girls that would be fun for both? I know about the Zoo, Children's Museum, Science Museum, and the MOA. Anything else you gals know about that isn't in a tourism guide somewhere?

Re: Twin City Ladies enter
There is also Como zoo with Como town.
Valley Fair
Ren fest starts mid August
Water parks here are a few:
Bunker hill wave pool
Apple Valley Water Park
Cascade Bay
Chutes and Ladders
Mill city museum (older daughter)
Welch mill tubing on the Cannon River ( I took Audrey right before she turned two on my lap) it is usually pretty calm. Weekdays are the best for a more family atmosphere. (do not do the Apple river ever)
White Water State park by Rochester
Afton State Park
Dakota County Fair, they have a pioneer village too.
Bakken museum: Oliver likes this one it is all about electricity.
