Nice place, music sometimes on, even at night, in the cooler months a fire burns. Great for coffee with a friend or a place to sit and relax after the sun goes down.

Festival of lights was entertaining! Loved the random Halo guy out there tonight posing... warm bathrooms on sight.. wish the fire to warm everyone was warmer, but fun nonetheless...

This is a fever public place that is beautiful. In the summer they have a splash park and in the winter they have the largest musical tree in the state. They have free horse drawn wagan rides, ice sculpture events, free hot cocoa, and more.

Our family often joins friends at the splash park at Blue Earth Plaza. It never fails to be a great time. The area is always clean and often full of life with other young families playing in the water. Its a great place to have a picnic and let your kids burn some calories.

Beautiful park to go with kids during summer to play in the water and you can relax with your pet as well (on leash). They have beautiful lights and the most amazing tree during winter holiday.

A very pleasant, well kept area with a nice courtyard, and local shops. They have a nice Christmas Light show in the Winter as well as a fireplace and fountains that kids like to play in during the Summer.

I believe we like this splash park more than the city park just because it has the shallow water and fewer people. Its nice at dark because its lit up.
