The Brooklyn Park center is about 4 miles east of Maple Grove Community Center and 4 miles west of Unity Hospital Campus.
If you don't mind the crowds, summer is the best time to make your way to Brooklyn Park. The temperatures top out in the 80s during the day and the 60s at night, providing the perfect temperatures to explore the area on foot or bicycle. July and August can often get humid, and thunderstorms happen with frequency, but for the most part, you'll have several hours of sunshine each day. Hotel demand can go straight through the roof during this time, so early bookings are essential to get the hotel room you want at a price you'll love.
From September through November, Brooklyn Park undergoes a drastic temperature change. At the beginning of this time period, temperatures hover in the 70s during the day, but by November, don't expect the temperatures to get any higher than about 40 with lows well below freezing. You may also have to deal with snow or ice, but because it comes with such frequency, most cities, including Brooklyn Park, have programs in place to make it less of a problem. Hotel rates can fluctuate depending on activities in town, but in general, prices are lower than the summer.
Winter is one of the harshest times in Brooklyn Park, rivaling just about any other harsh weather climate in the country. Snow and temperatures in the single digits or below zero are common from December through February, and visiting is sometimes a challenge. But if you can brave the weather, you'll be handsomely rewarded with the cheapest hotel rates of the year.
March marks the beginning of the winter thaw, and from this time until May, the weather's pleasant, with temperatures ranging from about 40 to 60 degrees. You can usually get around with just a light jacket, although if you're heading out at night, you might want to bring a coat. Hotel rates are at some of their lowest of the season, so booking a room ahead of time can save you a substantial amount of money.
You don't have to break the bank to find excellent accommodation in Brooklyn Park. All you need to do is look for discounts. At the Marriott Northwest, AAA members and AARP members can get up to a 10 percent discount on their room, saving money, and still enjoying everything the hotel has to offer. Some of the standout amenities here include an LCD flat-screen television, free wireless internet, an indoor pool, spa tub, and a 24-hour fitness center.
If you're a bargain hunter, don't miss out on the DoubleTree Inn by Hilton. Featuring 174 hotel rooms, there's certainly a room that fits your needs. Each room comes with free internet, complimentary video game consoles, and cable television. Other on-site amenities include a heated indoor pool, a sauna, and a 24-hour fitness center to get in a workout when the mood suits you.
Although planned as a commuter hub, visitors can still see some of the origins of the town at Eidem Homestead, which is a popular destination for tourists and class field trips. Originally owned by the Eidem family for nearly a century, the homestead is now a living history museum that's been restored to what it may have looked like between 1890 and 1910. The centerpiece is a beautiful Victorian home that offers tours, as well as a barn and other outbuildings that house cows, pigs, and other farm animals. Everything here is hands-on, allowing children to get a sense of what life was like on the homestead over 100 years ago.
If your idea of the perfect vacation consists of a bag of golf clubs and a challenging 18-hole golf course, Brooklyn Park is the only place for you to consider. Here you'll find Edinburgh USA, which offers some of the best golfing in Minnesota. From the "island hole" to the super challenging triple green, this course is entirely designed to test your skills. Beautifully manicured and expertly laid out, Edinburgh is sure to please even the most hardcore or finicky golfer. When you're done with 9 or 18 holes, head to the clubhouse for a drink or grab an upscale meal at the Girvan Grille.
If you're lucky enough to travel to Brooklyn Park from September through March, don't miss out on your chance to get to the Twin Cities Harvest Festival and Maze. Home to Minnesota's largest corn maze, you can put your navigational skills to the test, or you can launch a pumpkin up to 150 yards with their amazing pumpkin catapult. Like with any other great festival, this one doesn't disappoint when it comes to food and drink. Sink your teeth into caramel apples, cotton candy, funnel cakes, hot dogs, and more. If you have little ones, there's no better family fun activity in the area.
