VRA 2024: Local Attractions Guide

As you prepare for a week of learning and networking at this year’s VRA annual conference, don't miss out on the chance to experience some of the best that Minneapolis has to offer.

Looking for fall foliage? Check out Minnesota DNR’s fall color map for historical averages in the state. And if you have some extra time in your schedule, visit the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum (30 minutes by rideshare) where you can recreate Prince's iconic fall photoshoots!
