Whether you are in the mood for extreme dramas, heart-warming tales, soulful musicals or hilarious comedies, Park Square Theatre is bound to put on entertainment that you will love. East Metro’s regional theater, Park Square has two stages under one roof and employs more than 120 of Saint Paul’s richly talented actors to put on ten shows each season.
Head over to Saint Paul’s West Side for "La Fiesta Mas Caliente de Minnesota"—Minnesota’s Spiciest Celebration—Cinco de Mayo! Mexican and other Latino organizations celebrate their culture by hosting a variety of performances. Aside from delicious food, you can expect to see a colorful parade, a lowrider car show and music to keep the party going all day (and evening) long.
You can let your wild ones run free at the Como Park Zoo and Conservatory. Admission is free, although donations are suggested. See exhibits and attractions that house the big cats, the primates, the exotic birds, the hoofed creatures, the wild wolves and even polar bears. Head over to the Conservatory afterward to see, smell and possibly taste plants from all over the world.
