Oh in Minnesota the sights you’ll see, and if you need you can even pee!


Minnesota the land of 10,000 lakes has many sights for tourists to see when they travel through that Northern American state. Something for everyone, with apparently any interest.

You can check out the attractions at the Mall of America in Bloomington, America’s version of the West Edmonton Mall.

Further afield you check out one of the more interesting attractions of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who created a most interesting gas station in Cloquet.

There’s a tribute to Paul Bunyan at Bemidji, Chisholm's Iron man statue, the Greyhound bus museum in Hibbing (also known for a certain folk singer of some renown) and while it's too late to see the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in Minneapolis which apparently recently closed, there is still much to do and see in Minnesota.

Moving up very fast on any must see attraction whilst in the state, is that Minneapolis-St. Paul airport bathroom, located beside the shoeshine stand and just down from the lottery centre and just around the corner from the sweet tastes of the Ben and Jerry's kiosk.

The now infamous restroom made historical by Senator Larry Craig has become the place to see on any trip to Minneapolis, people actually seem to go out of their way to travel to the airport to see the place that Craig and late night tee vee comedians became one.

If the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport Authority is on the ball, they’ll make those toilets, pay toilets, there’s some serious gold in them thar stalls!
