What isn't there to do in Minneapolis?! Theater, clubs, music, restaurants, culture.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Check out the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Eat a Juicy Lucy burger if you´re not a vegetarian.

Check out the Skyway system in downtown Minneapolis.

Go to the Mall of America.

Eat good Korean food at the Mirror of Korea on Snelling Avenue in St.Paul.

Go to any of the new restaurants or breweries in downtown Minneapolis. Great food and beer.

Eat some butter burgers at Culver´s if you don´t have Culver´s in your state. ( I know they´re from Wisconsin but hey, it´s a Midwestern restaurant chain and they make great burgers. wink )

Check out the beautiful parks and lakes.

Go to the Midtown Global Market to sample some delicious international food.

Not from MPLS but:

Paisley Park (as you noted)
First Avenue (Gold Prince star photo op)
NBA, MLB, NHL teams may have a home game
There is an amazing theatre district. Not sure if plays are back on schedule though due to pandemic.
Seems to be a lot of small clubs and theatres that may have a featured artist, but local talent is great too.
Many great trails for walks and small parks near ponds, creeks, etc.
Electric Fetus record store to pick up any unusual indie CDs and limited edition album sets (not Prince but they usually have a decent stick of official material)
Mall of America for general mall type shopping
MPLS airport has a terminal that has a Prince store in case you missed anything at Paisley Park. Mostly shirts, jewelery, some Tambourine
There is a Light Rail system that goes from Mall of America to downtown Minneapolis, and then extends to St Paul. Cheap, usually on time, and plenty of stops.

Otherwise, I'd count on locals to offer "gotta eat here" info. smile.

Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another

Depends on what you want to do. It's a full blown metropolis with a zillion trees and a million lakes. I enjoyed the vibe.
Time keeps on slipping into the future...
