Hobby shops in or around Minneapolis

[Deleted]

Well I'm finally off to the USA in September to visit relatives in Minneapolis for about ten days. Planning a bit of a drive around the area so was hoping someone could tell me if there are any decent model shops in the area that are worth a visit. To say I'm exited about the trip is an understatement! as this will be my first time across the pond

You can kill a couple of hours in there easily.

Definitely- one of the most comprehensive selections of models and model building supplies I have seen in one place.

Other great things to do in Minneapolis-St. Paul area....

The place is famous for its roof top bars! I was there for a couple days in 2011 and loved it!

There was a shop called The Hub when I used to visit several years ago. Would hope it would still be there. Might try a google search. Carried a very large assortment of kits.

Like Big John noted, if you get down to the Chicago area, look up Venture Hobbies in Buffalo Grove.
