Must do things in Rochester, MN

Posted by alive @alive, Jul 1 6:48am

This is my first time staying in Rochester. My husband and I are visiting family in southern Minnesota for the next couple of weeks and want to do some fun things around the area. I want to ask those of you familiar with this part of Minnesota, what do you recommend that we see and what restaurants should we try out?

Want to mention something funny my husband said: “It’s too bad that we are going to be staying in Rochester and you don’t need to go see some doctors at Mayo!” 🤣 I replied: “It’s great to have wonderful doctors in Rochester, but it’s even better to feel well enough not to need to see them.”

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.
