The art and the photo opportunities draw people to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. As one of the most well-known landmarks in Minneapolis, it attracts travelers from across the country.
“We came for the State Fair and now we’re just sight-seeing,” said Peter Hay, while visiting the site.
He was raised in Minnesota but now lives in Santa Barbara. Hay brought California-native Nancy Saltamachio with him to the Twin Cities.
“It seems like a really exciting and happening area,” said Saltamachio. “I’ve kind of had a pleasant surprise.”
Minnesota’s tourism industry has seen growth this summer. A survey conducted in mid-August of 324 hospitality and tourism businesses statewide showed 81% reported they’re in a growing or stable but positive financial position.
The survey was conducted by Explore Minnesota, Hospitality Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.
