We’re all about leisure travel here in Eagan and love to reach out to our friends in Wisconsin, Iowa and more, but today this blog post is for all you locals! While there have been many changes this year, especially in regards to travel, you still deserve a getaway even if that means not technically getting away. Take a break from the monotony of life sheltered at home by staying in the comforts of one of Eagan’s hotels.

Enjoy Relaxation

Enjoy a few days of sleeping in, eating out, relaxing soaks in your room’s tub and use of hotel amenities like pools, spas, and gyms. Please check with your hotel on their amenity policies at the time of your stay. Make the trip a quiet couple’s getaway, a time of self-care just for you, or bring along the kids for some quality family time — you can even bring your pets at some Eagan hotels. 

Enjoy Outdoor Adventures

Being Minnesotan means embracing the winter and cold temps and Eagan is home to one of the best regional parks in the area. Lebanon Hills Regional Park is chock full of winter fun from snowshoeing and skiing to ice skating, fat biking and tubing. And don’t forget about ice fishing. Yes, it’s a thing to bring your shanty on the ice, drill a hole and relax until you get that bite. Eagan also has 55 other parks to get some exercise and vitamin D, even if it’s under 32 degrees!

Enjoy Hidden Gems

When was the last time you actually explored Eagan and the surrounding area? A staycation is the perfect time to venture out and do things you normally don’t have time to do like stroll along the sculpture-lined pathways at Caponi Art Park or go through the red door to Volstead House Whiskey Bar & Speakeasy for a classic cocktail of the past and some delicious food.

Enjoy Public Art

Eagan is home to a robust public art program featuring large installations, art benches, community art and art on loan. With an inventory of over 30 artworks, you’ll find something that delights all around town. You can even download the Eagan Public Art Passport – an easy tool to point out all of Eagan’s amazing art!

Enjoy a Foodie Paradise

Put down the recipe book and pots and pans and let Eagan’s incredible restaurant scene come to the rescue for a few days. With over 100 dining destinations to choose from including local favorites like Ansari’s Mediterranean Grill, Casper’s of Eagan and Trail Stop Tavern. Or branch out to new hot spots like Mad Cow or Kyndred Hearth at Omni Viking Lakes Hotel. Most of these restaurants offer pick-up or delivery too so comfort and safety is never a question!

Enjoy Deals and Discounts

Just because you’re maybe not a true tourist doesn’t mean you can’t take advantage of the many deals and discounts Enjoy Eagan has to offer. Book your staycation at an Eagan hotel over the weekend and get FREE attraction passes with our Pick Your Package promotion. Or download/print a plethora of coupons for an affordable little getaway you’ll never forget.
