Important Cities
Minneapolis
Minneapolis offers an array of cultural and recreational attractions. Set between towering skyscrapers and pristine lakes, the city provides year-round excitement. In winter, you can explore downtown through seven miles of skyways or take advantage of the many entertainment, shopping and dining options at the Mall of America. Art lovers will relish the world-class collections at the Minneapolis Art Institute, Walker Art Center and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum. With more than 30 theaters, spectators will find no shortage of shows to enjoy. In summer, the 22 lakes in the city feature watersports, while the adjoining green spaces are ideal for hiking, biking and golf.
St. Paul
Saint Paul blends modern museums, grand architecture and natural escapes. Visit downtown attractions, such as the magnificent State Capitol and the historic Como Park, which features picnic areas, a conservatory and a zoo. In summer, hike along the banks of the Mississippi River and stop by the Minnesota Children's Museum and the Science Museum of Minnesota. The Minnesota Museum of American Art showcases local artists and the interactive Minnesota History Center features a host of exhibits, concerts and special events.
Duluth
On the western tip of Lake Superior, Duluth is a natural oasis in Minnesota. The city features the scenic North Shore, 23 picturesque parks, Hawk Ridge, a favorite among bird watchers, and an impressive waterfront. Visitors will enjoy the renowned Sculpture Walk and the celebrated Railroad Depot, as well as the Great Lakes Aquarium.
Climate, Cuisine & Travel with Children
Climate
Minnesota has a continental climate with warm summers and extremely cold winters. Heavy snow can be expected from December to April, therefore drivers should consider winter tires and SUVs to manage the rough terrain. The best time to the state is from June to August when visitors can enjoy the outdoors and lakes, as well as the numerous state festivals and farmers markets.
Cuisine
Minnesota is known for its wild berries and hazelnuts, as well as a variety of fish, such as walleye and trout from its countless lakes. Salads are also popular in Minnesota, including potato, pasta and dessert salads. Its Scandinavian and German heritage is seen in items such as lutefisk, gravlax, lingonberries, sausages and sauerkraut. Recent immigration has brought a variety of foods from Vietnam, Somalia, Laos, and Mexico, such as cha-lua, taquitos, tortillas, and poblanos. The annual Minnesota State Fair is famous for its food "on a stick," including pronto pups and deep fried candy bars, as well as its local beer selection.
Traveling with Children
Minnesota is very kid-friendly. Aside from its incalculable natural attractions, like its numerous lakes and parks, where children can enjoy water sports and swimming, the state also features the Mill City Museum, the Minnesota Children's Museum and the Science Museum of Minnesota, which include numerous interactive activities for kids. Free passes for the museums are available at the local libraries. At the Park Zoo and Conservatory, children can enjoy story times, feed the animals and see the Sparky the Sea Lion show in summer, and at the Valleyfair amusement park, kids can ride the heart-stopping North Star and the thrilling Wild Thing, as well as meet and greet the Charlie Brown Peanuts Gang.
Summer in Minnesota
One thing that gets overlooked about Minnesota is the number of waterfalls you can visit. Taking a trip to Hidden Falls, Gooseberry Falls or Minnehaha Falls is a great way to spend an afternoon. If you're looking for a beautiful drive, hop aboard scenic Highway 61 that starts in Duluth, Minnesota, and then runs along the northern shore of Lake Superior. In August, an excellent activity for the whole family is to visit the Minnesota State Fair.

They felt bad I was a 6’3” guy in a compact due to my company being cheap and they upgraded me to a midsize SUV for free.
All the staff were helpful and nice as well as it was first time in Minneapolis. Will definitely rent from again.
Cars were new and clean as well

It's been a month since I rented a car. The car was amazing, clean, etc. No complaints there. This review really is for customer service in the aftermath of a smash and grab:
Two days in to the rental someone smashed the back passenger window...I drove back to the rental place at on a Sunday night, actually ending up at the wrong terminal. The worker there (Fazio?) was amazing. He focused on making sure I was okay, he offered me some water (as I was clearly upset and crying) and told me it would all work out. He swapped cars and off I went for the rest of my trip. That in itself I think was worthy of a good review...
I just received the bill for the damage. I was expecting to be charged a ridiculous amount for "Loss of use" -- nope, totally reasonable amount was charged. The charge for the replacement of the window came with the ACTUAL invoice attached -- the charge had no mark it up!! I could gripe over the $45 admin fee, but I do get it -- this caused all of us additional time and work for all of us.
It was so easy to submit the claim & upload photos of what happened. Thru the process at no time did I ever feel like I was a bad person for letting something happen to the car.
Honestly, I will probably now choose SIXT over my Old "go to" rental companies from here on out.

Yesterday me and my husband landed in Minneapolis much later than we were supposed to because of a delayed flight. It was already pretty late at night and when we walked to the Sixt location they were already closed so we’d have to go to the other location on the other side of the airport. By chance the manager, I think his name was Anthony, saw us on his way leaving and was kind enough to give us a ride to the other Sixt location. We were then attended by a front desk employee named Kairo who was absolutely exceptional as well. He was extremely friendly and gave amazing service, even very late at night where most people just want their shift to finish. Overall whenever we fly to Minneapolis and need a car, we will definitely be renting with Sixt because of them.
