With school wrapping up and summer vacation at the front of everyone’s mind, we felt a quick how-to on packing for your next trip to Eagan was in order. Whether you’re looking for some good ole family fun, outdoor adventure, a shopping spree, the sports scene or a night out on the town – here’s how to get the whole crew ready to roll.

Swimsuits and Sunblock

Did you know Eagan is home to the largest outdoor municipal waterpark in the Upper Midwest? It is! Cascade Bay features loads of family fun ranging from water slides such as the Twin Falls and Hurricane to the Lazy River and miniature golf.

Nightlife Outfit

The night scene is buzzing in Eagan! You’ll want to start with drinks and dinner at any one of our popular patios then head to a brewpub or two, such as Union 32 Crafthouse or Bald Man Brewing. Finally, end the night showing off your best moves at Casper’s Party Barn.

Save Some Room

Between Central Park Commons and Twin Cities Premium Outlets, you’re sure to score some deals – and fill up your suitcase. Pro Tip: If you can swing packing a small duffel bag in your suitcase, you’ll have plenty of room to pack what you need, plus a bag exclusively for all your new finds.

Backpack It Up

Get the family all laced up and ready for a family-friendly hike (or bike) at Lebanon Hills Regional Park. With over 12 miles of the best trails, we recommend loading up a backpack with water bottles and snacks for a mini picnic to refuel!

Minnesota Vikings Apparel

Eagan is the new home of the Minnesota Vikings Training Camp! With all kinds of fun activities planned for this exciting event, be sure to reserve your free tickets and pack your favorite Vikings jersey or football in hopes of a few autographs!

Now that you got a little help from your friends (us), get to packing and we will see you in Eagan soon!
