Come for the shopping, but stay for the fresh air
Just south of the bustling cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, the quiet suburb of Apple Valley offers the perfect balance of retail therapy and outdoor activities to keep everyone in your group happy. Just 10 miles from the gigantic Mall of America, an Apple Valley vacation rental is a shopaholic's ideal home base. There's plenty to do outside, too, if shopping isn't your thing. The surrounding parks are home to some stunning natural scenery, bike paths, and hiking trails. Apple Valley's annual festivals offer visitors a taste of the simple life in between trips to the mall.
A playground for the young or simply young-at-heart
There's no shortage of sights to fill up your days in Apple Valley. The town is home to the Minnesota Zoo, and just a few minutes away from concerts and sporting events at the Xcel Energy Center. Minnehaha Park is one of the city's oldest green spaces, and one of the most popular, thanks in large part to the picturesque Minnehaha Falls. The Mall of America offers much more than just shopping, including an indoor theme park, an aquarium, and mini-golf, plus the Crayola Experience and even a flight simulator. For a taste of urban life, the Twin Cities are a short drive away.
Bundle up to make the most of the cold Minnesota winters
Minnesota weather is famous for varying wildly from season to season. Apple Valley vacation rentals are in highest demand in the warm summer months of June to August, when high temperatures rise into the 80s and the weather is perfect for enjoying outdoor activities. Winters are another story, with freezing temperatures spanning all the way from November through March. During these winter months, expect to see several feet of snow. You'll want to find a nice indoor place to stay warm (like maybe the country's biggest shopping mall).
Suburban sprawl sprinkled with picturesque parkland
Spreading through developed farmland south of the thriving Twin Cities, Apple Valley is mostly made up of residential neighborhoods and commercial areas. The town maintains an impressive 49 neighborhood parks, as well as the 2,000-acre Lebanon Hills Regional Park and local favorite Minnehaha Park, home to the cascading Minnehaha Falls. If you'd rather not run into animals in the wild, plenty of wildlife can be viewed from a safe distance at the Minnesota Zoo. And being in Minnesota, you never have to travel too far to find a lake.
