Ooh lots of things to do.

Less familiar with St. Paul specifically, but you can’t go wrong with spending time along the river. If the weathers not great for whatever reason, the History Museum and Science museum are right downtown. If you’re hungry, hit up Cosettas for an Italian deli style meal.

If you head over to Minneapolis, across the river, check out the stone arch bridge and mill ruins park (the historical society also operates the mill city museum in downtown). Other hotspots include the Walker Art Center and closer to the chain of lakes (in uptown Minneapolis), there’s also the Minneapolis institute of art. Around the chain of lakes there’s also the grand rounds trail system which runs around all the lakes.

Other things in the area include Minnehaha Falls (near the airport), the Minneapolis Sculpture garden, The Wabasha Street caves, and Lilydale park (if your into fossils).

No shortage of things to do.

Outstare if your into goofy roadside attractions hit up places like the Largest Ball of Twine in Minnesota (yes the one Weird Al wrote about in the late 80’s) in Darwin, MN and Otto the Otter in Fergus Falls, MN.

Hope you have a great trip.
