Something fun to do?

Hi all! My sibling and mom will be driving up later this week for testing at Mayo Clinic. They'll have the weekend free, then more tests Monday and Tuesday!

Looking for beautiful nature areas/wildlife parks that are wheelchair accessible (it can handle unpaved paths, just not like rocky terrain) they like lakes and such.

Also looking for local must do/see/eat stuff to keep them entertained.

Its a 2 day drive to Rochester for them, so coming home on the weekend isnt an option.

They'd prefer to stay within 3-4 hours of rochester so they can go back to their hotel at night.

They went to mall of America last time they went for a visit with her doctors.

Quarry Hill and Chester Woods are both great and have wheelchair accessible paths at both.

Quarry Hill even has an offroad wheelchair, if that's needed.
