See a Broadway show, in a setting about as far away from Broadway as you can get! The Old Log Theater is just that, a 643-seat auditorium in a log building on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, with a rustic 350-seat restaurant to eat at before the curtain rises. This theater lobby has a roaring fireplace that might be inviting enough to make you miss the show. The Old Log has been offering Broadway quality musicals and plays beneath their tall pines since 1940, proving that you don't have to be urban to appreciate culture.

Have some fun in the fresh air at Lake Calhoun, one of Minnesota’s most popular recreational destinations. You can dust off your running shoes and go for a jog on the three-mile trail surrounding the lake as you as you watch the sailboats glide on the water. Or, rent watercraft equipment and take up hobbies like wind surfing and canoeing. This recreational outdoor playground is also great for fishing, swimming, and biking, but Lake Calhoun has three supervised beaches if you would rather relax and catch some rays.

Here, you can taste the fruits of the labor in the form of award winning wines ranging from semi-sweet Vignoles to Oak-Aged Frontenac.
