If you’re planning on visiting Minnesota for the upcoming holidays, use these tips to save money on your trip.
1. Stay in a Hotel Outside of the Downtown Area
If you’re coming into Minnesota to take advantage of shopping centers like Mall of America or downtown Minneapolis/St. Paul, it seems like a no-brainer to stay downtown. However, if you want to save money, shelling out hundreds of dollars a night for a fancy downtown hotel room isn’t the best option. Instead, try branching out to the Twin Cities Metro – you’re still close to all the major attractions, but at a fraction of the cost. Richfield is under 10 minutes away from Mall of America and just under 15 minutes away from downtown Minneapolis/St. Paul. Book your stay online today.
2. Skip the Rental
Unless you’re planning on doing some heavy-duty traveling, you don’t need a car to get around. If you did drive in, you can also save on parking fees by taking advantage of the many resources available in Richfield. The Four Points by Sheraton and Baymont Inn & Suites offer free shuttle services to large attractions like MSP Airport and Mall of America. Richfield is also connected to Metro Transit, making it even easier to get around. And if you need a quick ride, Uber and Lyft are available in Richfield.
3. Unwind with Free Activities
After a long day of shopping, the last thing you want to do is spend even more money. Luckily, Richfield offers many free and low-cost activities that are perfect for a lazy Sunday before heading home. Get in touch with nature by visiting the 150-acre Wood Lake Nature Center or attend a local event at Veterans Memorial Park. You can also soak in the rich history of Richfield by visiting the Riley Lucas Bartholomew House.
