Linden Hills, Minneapolis Children’s, with live animals

Wild Rumpus

A children’s bookstore with chickens roaming the floor, a few cats, a chinchilla, and a tiny purple door cut into the front for kids to use. The selection is genuinely strong and the booksellers know it cold. Worth a visit even without a kid in tow.

Saves land in your shortlist; been-heres fill your Passport. Both shape the Best of MPLS. Anonymous, never sold.
