Every season, Theodore Wirth Park hands Minneapolis families a new superpower. Winter: the tubing hill at The Trailhead, where a lift hauls laughing kids (and parents) back up for run after run, plus gentle cross-country ski trails and lessons that turn Minnesota kids into Minnesota skiers. Snowboarding terrain and a cozy lodge with hot chocolate complete the picture.
Summer flips the script: Wirth Lake’s swimming beach, mountain-bike trails with a skills course for young riders, the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden’s storybook paths and naturalist programs, and archery and golf for the big kids. The park’s adventure camps fill fast every year — a local seal of approval.
759 acres, four seasons, one very tired and happy family by dinner. That’s Wirth’s whole business model.
