Escape on a Minnesota outdoor adventure while you’re at the fair! Climb a 65-foot-tall fire tower for a panoramic view of the fairgrounds; spot 45 species of Minnesota fish in the 50,000-gallon outdoor pond; watch a raptor demonstration; enjoy outdoor musical performances; and wander through the 1930s-era log cabin to learn about Minnesota wildlife, see aquariums and terrariums representing our forests, rivers and lakes, and so much more!
