University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum

In the natural world, a flower blooms for only a set period of time—holding its breath in a brief, brilliant display before returning to the earth. But in Chasing Flowers, the garden never fades. Amy Coulombe explores this fleeting beauty through a diverse collection of styles, refusing to settle into a single medium and keeping the exhibition exciting, fresh and new.&nbsp;&nbsp;From the dreamlike drift of alcohol ink on YUPO paper and the soft transparency of watercolors, to the rich textures of oil and the playful depth of acrylic and collage, these flowers truly come to life. By chasing the beauty of nature across every medium, Amy captures the magic of the garden before it drifts away. Please reserve your gate admission on the website and visit through January 6, 2027.

It's a full-on Halloween chemistry lab — foaming reactions, mysterious mixtures, and the kind of experiments that feel genuinely spooky right up until someone asks "but why does it bubble?" and suddenly everyone wants to know. Equal parts witch's brew and real science — and every single experiment is designed to wow. Drop them off. Pick up a proud young potion master who already has a recipe in their head for next time.Cost: $48

Seuss-inspired, studio-approved, and packed with more silliness than should legally fit in one room. Thing 1 and Thing 2 would absolutely approve. Perfect for siblings — one drop-off, double the fun. Drop them off. Pick up a proud young artist carrying a silly masterpiece that belongs on the wall — and possibly in the movie.Cost: $45
