Across
  1. 2. No medieval weaponry on this stage, just performing acts like Ken Carson on Aug. 14 and Lorde on Oct. 11.
  2. 4. Stop to rent a tandem bike or walk down by the creek at this park by the Mississippi River named for its signature waterfall.
  3. 5. Site of an oversized cherry on a spoon and a blue chicken. Too bad they’re inedible.
  4. 6. Grab a sweet treat at this Linden Hills location open since 1984. Signature flavors include the flavor formerly known as Nicolette Avenue Pothole and Raspberry Chocolate Chip.
  5. 8. Free on a beautiful summer day? Walk the three mile loop, rent a paddleboard, or stop to watch a show at the bandshell at this southwest Minneapolis aquatic destination.
  6. 9. Hit the new Edina location of this viral dirty soda fountain, opening in Southdale Mall the first week of June.
Down
  1. 1. If you’re sick of the 41 rides at this Six Flags establishment in Shakopee, you could go hang out with Snoopy and friends.
  2. 3. Don't forget a baseball mitt if you’re sitting in the outfield; Byron Buxton could hit dinger, as long as he’s not hurt.
  3. 7. Head over to this botanical garden in Chaska ASAP if you don’t want to miss the last of the spring tulips in bloom.
