After a whirlwind of a summer, it’s time to recharge and reset before the holidays come in hot! Eagan offers a variety of activities and options for a relaxing wellness weekend that will be sure to rejuvenate your mind and body.

Day 1

Morning

Hope Breakfast Bar

Start your day off right with a delicious and nutritious breakfast that will give you the proper fuel to meet the rest of your day with ease. One of Eagan’s newest dining destinations, Hope Breakfast Bar, is the perfect spot to do just that with its delectable menu filled with healthy options such as a refreshing granola bowl made with local granola, vanilla yogurt, seasonal fruit and candied walnuts. Or go for something comforting and filling like the overnight oats served with almond milk and fruit. Pair your meal with a flavorful lavender vanilla latte or a warm Vietnamese coffee and you’ve got yourself a perfect morning.

Afternoon

Lebanon Hills Regional Park

Unwind and connect with nature by visiting the largest park in the Dakota County park system, Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Containing almost 2,000 acres full of forests, grasslands, marshes and wetlands, you’ll feel at one with the outdoor beauty surrounding you. Whether you take a leisurely stroll, set up in a hammock and read a book or go paddleboarding, it’s sure to be a peaceful and enjoyable experience.

Twin Cities Premium Outlets

Wellness can mean many different things and when we think of wellness and improving our mental and physical health, we believe retail therapy is a great way to do just that. At Twin Cities Premium Outlets, you can still enjoy the outdoors while window shopping from popular brands like Nike, Coach, Kate Spade, Calvin Klein and more all at discounted prices.

Evening

Mason Jar Kitchen & Bar

After a day of basking in the outdoors, a hearty meal made from locally sourced seasonal ingredients at Mason Jar Kitchen & Bar is our idea of a perfect nightcap. MJK combines rustic charm with a modern twist on comfort food and virtually everything is made from scratch including their homemade puff pastry in the 10,000 Lakes Chicken Pot Pie. Lighter fare includes Atlantic Salmon, Roasted Pear Salad or the delicious side offering of maple- honey brussels sprouts with crispy prosciutto and caramelized onions.

Day 2

Breakfast

Nautical Bowls

Kick off Day 2 by heading to Nautical Bowls for a mouthwatering acai and pitaya bowl topped with an array of vibrant fruits, granolas and drizzles, reminiscent of a coastal sunrise. What sets Nautical Bowls apart is its commitment to sustainability, using eco-friendly packaging and sourcing locally whenever possible, ensuring a guilt-free indulgence in their delectable creations. It also helps that everything is dairy, gluten and soy free!

Caponi Art Park

Located in the picturesque Caponi Art Park, immerse yourself in an outdoor yoga session in the beauty of the park’s lush surroundings, creating a peaceful oasis for mindfulness and self-discovery. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a novice looking to explore the practice, doing yoga at Caponi Art Park provides a rejuvenating and grounding experience that fosters relaxation, meditation, and a deeper connection to the environment. It’s a wonderful way to find balance and inner peace in the heart of Eagan’s artistic and natural beauty.

Idlewild Spa

Idlewild at Omni Viking Lakes Hotel in Eagan is a tranquil oasis offering a luxurious escape from the bustle of everyday life. For ultimate relaxation, the Nordic spa offers multiple relaxation spaces including a cozy indoor lounge with a fireplace; an exterior lounge equipped with a hot tub, for spa guests, lounge seating and fire pits; and a salt relaxation room that acts as a soothing sanctuary with backlit, salt-lined walls where you can absorb the healing properties of Himalayan Salt.
