i think going to paris for the olympics and wanting it to be free is a great idea and i have no idea why more people haven’t thought of it.
I've booked an Airbnb. Hope I don't get scammed

Backup plan is to just find someplace to stay outside of town and take the train. Very low risk situation

Mall of America obviously. It’s utterly depressing from what I understand

I remember being there for some school/camp/youth thing and it being very easy to sneak out of stuff because all the buildings are connected by skywalks to deal with death cold. But that’s probably not applicable.

Was there for like 20 hours for that coldest oat seahawks-vikings game. Stayed at W, ate there at manny’s, no idea where I pak’d out at.

Probably just go to a show at first avenue and/or paisley park.

Fine city. wish KC was more like it. I didn't find a single cool thing to do there but enjoy visiting and going to a Twins game so maybe that?

You could purify yourself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.  That would be pretty cool, especially this time of year.

Early August
If it were late August, the can’t miss event is the Minnesota State fair. A very big deal there.

If you are up for venturing a ways out of town up north, I’d recommend a guided fishing trip (e.g. perch, walleye). The Gull Lake area would be a good one to check out. Lots of resorts. High end golf and stuff. Lots of bike trails, both paved and off-road.  Lots of kayaking/canoeing.

Dinky Town, student area around the university is fun. Lots of hipster restaurants, but that’s all over MSP really.

The St. Paul Saints minor league baseball games are fun. They were part owned by Bill Murray at one time and it’s a fun atmosphere. Lots of shenanigans.

Bunch of art museums. That one statue of the spoon with a cherry in it is there, and apparently it’s highly thought of.
