  • Baby, I'm a star! 💟 I have been a huge Prince fan since the early 80s, so when planning our visit to Minneapolis, we needed to check out some Prince-related locations around the area. 💜 1&2) First Avenue -a popular music club where he performed many times. It was made famous by the movie "Purple Rain". 3) Giant mural of Prince in downtown Minnie 4 ) Street art depicting his 'symbol' guitar 5) Cloud boot & guitar from "Raspberry Beret" 6) Giant purple Face of Prince mural in Chanhassen, MN. 7, 8) Graffiti Tunnel: Chanhassen, MN with memorials, graffiti, & tokens left after his death. 9) Prince Rogers Nelson Memorial highway marker. 10) the location of Prince's former home is now a subdivision with street names like Purple pkwy, Paisley Path, Rogers Ct, and Alphabet St in honour of the Purple Paisley God. 💜 #paisleypark to follow 💜 #VisitMinneapolis #Roguetrippers #rocklegend
  • You're a good man, Charles Schulz! 🥜 "Peanuts" comic creator Charles M. Schulz was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Nov 26, 1922. To honour the local legend, the city has numerous statues of his iconic characters. 🥜 In Landmark Plaza park, there are beautiful bronze statues of Charlie Brown & Snoopy, Sally & Linus, Lucy & Schroeder at his piano, and Peppermint Patti & Marcie. 🥜 Throughout the city of St. Paul you can find dozens of fiberglass sculptures of numerous characters designed and decorated to promote various businesses and organizations. 🗺️ There is an online map that will guide you to the locations if you wish to make it your mission to see them all. Good Grief! 🥜 #stpaulminnesota #visitstpaul #Roguetrippers
  • Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? 😽 It's you girl, and you should know it. . While in Minneapolis, we visited our girl, Mary. A TVLand tribute statue of Mary Tyler Moore stands on Nicollette Mall & S 7th Street in downtown Minneapolis, near the site of the iconic final shot in the opening credits, when Mary throws her tam in the air. 👒 The Mary Tyler Moore Show is considered one of the greatest sitcoms ever made. It was set in Minneapolis with Mary working as an associate producer for a news station -WJM. The show spun off several other successful shows (Rhoda, Phyllis, and Lou Grant). 😽 Mary lived in an apartment in a house owned by Phyllis Lyndstrum. The house used for exterior shots is a gorgeous Queen Anne-style turreted mansion located in the Kenwood Park area of Minneapolis. Mary lived on the top floor (for the first 5 seasons), and Rhoda lived in the attic, while Phyllis resided on the main level. 😽 #MaryTylerMoore #VisitMinneapolis #Roguetrippers @meetminneapolis @exploreminnesota
  • Stop # 1 in State # 44  🍒 Our first stop in Minnesota was visiting the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden in the heart of the city. 🐓  It is an 11-acre recreational park filled with over 40 different sculptures and works of public art, and it is considered the largest sculpture park in the county. 🔔 The most famous sculpture in the collection is the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry sculpture and fountain, the garden's centerpiece.  . #publicart #sculpturegarden #minneapolis #Roguetrippers #exploreminnesota #spoonbridgeandcherry #minnesotasculpturegarden
  • When you love roadside attractions as much as we do - a visit to the place where many of these giant sculptures are created is a MUST visit for our road trip itinerary.  🪦 The FAST company (Fibreglass Animal Sculptures Trademarks), located in Sparta, Wisconsin, manufactures many of the enormous fibreglass statues, roadside attractions, business mascots, and various other creations you will find on your travels.  Many statues you see in various cities to commemorate what that town is known for are made right here at FAST Fibreglass.  . Visitors are welcome to walk through the graveyard of the manufacturing facility, where they have hundreds of molds from previous projects they have created. They reuse the molds in this graveyard where possible for future jobs.  🪦 Some of these molds are very recent creations, and others have been here for a while. Many have become aged and weathered with time and exposure, creating a stone-like appearance, which adds to the graveyard feel.  .

  • The Wisconsin Dells is a fun-filled amusement centre in the Badger State and is considered the Waterpark capital of America, making it a top-rated tourist attraction. It is a family-friendly travel destination with amusement parks, waterparks, quirky museums, and other unique attractions.  🐂 As you drive through the dells, dotted with motels, amusements, and activities - you will see a plethora of giant sculptures/statues that are a feast for the eyes of every roadside attractions enthusiast: including:  🦩 Paul Bunyan & Babe the Blue Ox, Giant Pink Flamingoes, Transformers, and many more. . #Wisconsinattractions #wisconsindells #Roadsideattractions #Roguetrippers
  • Welcome to Circus City. 🎪 Baraboo, Wisconsin - is known as a circus city because the famous circus family - The Ringling brothers made Baraboo their home in 1875.  🐘 It became home to the former headquarters and winter home of the Ringling Brothers Circus.  🎪  At the site of the circus’s winter home is the Circus World Museum, encompassing several buildings holding numerous exhibits on circus history. In town, there are other circus and Ringling-related attractions.  🤡  The Al. Ringling Theatre is an architectural landmark in the city’s downtown.  .  AL. Ringling Mansion was the home of legendary circus showman AL Ringling and his wife, Lou.  This massive building is a spectacular red stone mansion that is currently a historic museum offering tours, an inn, and a brewery. The Mansion is listed on the registry of historic places. .  In Downtown Baraboo, the Circus Clown Hall of Fame museum features some of the biggest names in clown history.  .  At the edge of town - we visited AL & Lou’s Gravesite/mausoleum and other Ringling family graves.  .  One of the negative aspects of taking an ‘off-season’ road trip is that some places may not be open. That was, unfortunately, the case we encountered when we discovered Circus City … with most things closed for the season. . Sad Clown Face.  . #roguetrippers #Roadtrip
