The @minnesotadnr Fall Color Finder just dropped!

The @minnesotadnr Fall Color Finder just dropped! 🍁🍁🙌

Peak color doesn’t wait. The Minnesota DNR updates this map all season so you always know where the leaves are turning. One good weekend and you’re driving into full color!! Miss it and you’re looking at bare branches. 😭

👉Comment LEAVES and we’ll send you the Fall Color Finder Map. 🍁

#mnfall #mndnr #exploremn #fallinminnesota #minnesota

🐑🐷🐄 The animal barns are where you lose your kids

🐑🐷🐄 The animal barns are where you lose your kids for an hour. Worth it. 🙌

Newborn goats wobbling around at the Miracle of Birth Center. Piglets. A calf that might literally be minutes old. Then the dogs at the Pet Pavilions running agility and obedience like they’ve got something to prove. Birds of prey overhead. Forty kinds of fish at the DNR pond. 🦅🎣

🎟️ All free with admission. All 12 days.

✅ Demo times move around, so pull up the fair app when you go. Save this so you’re not scrambling to remember where everything is.

Then settle the debate in the comments: baby lambs or the dogs?

📍 Minnesota State Fair, Aug. 27 through Sept. 7
