They'll have a car, right? There are oodles of dog parks in the area, and the meet itself is at a green grassy park that is not really attached to the Como Zoo. The Zoo doesn't allow dogs, but the park that we will be at has a small lake with a lovely path around it and it is friendly for dogs- I think, at least! I remember seeing dogs there last year, and no one stopped them. There's a sculpture garden in Minneapolis, (right next to St. Paul) that has our famous Spoon and Cherry sculpture, it's not free but it is fun to spend hours wandering around it! There are also lots of other parks that are beautiful- Baker Park and French Park pop to my head, but they are west a bit. I know a Google search of St. Paul gives you all sorts of parks and historic walks- I know I've always wanted to find someone with enough spare time to walk Summit Ave with me, the James J Hill house and other mansions are along that road and it's just a lovely place to see! And who doesn't love mansions! You can either walk or drive, (I've done the driving, at least!), depending on the weather and how much walking the dogs want to do. I also recommend Cossetta's, on 7th Ave. It's a pizza place, so the dogs would have to wait in the car, but I love it! I can't think of a time I went to Cossetta's and went home unhappy. Ok, that's what I've got! Anyone else?
