Saint Paul is the capital of Minnesota, which means it is where the state government works. It sits across the river from Minneapolis, and together they are called the Twin Cities.
You can tour the shiny domed State Capitol, meet fish and turtles at the Science Museum of Minnesota, and see animals at the free Como Zoo. In winter there is a huge Winter Carnival with ice sculptures!
The Minnesota State Capitol has a big white dome you can see from far away. Leaders make the state's rules there, and visitors can walk through its grand marble halls.
Saint Paul sits along the Mississippi River with parks and trails right by the water. Families love Como Park, its zoo, and the beautiful glass conservatory full of plants.
